The design of workspaces for a German software developer has been an opportunity to re-think what work environments can offer to people today. A wide spectrum of work environments include not only desk working, but also spaces that allow for social interaction, communication, spontaneity, creativity, sharing, playfulness as well as meditation, rest, recovery, and even solitude. Greenery plays a key role. A large meditative indoor garden acts as a green lung to the project. Staff uses the space to clear their thoughts, to practice yoga, or to work in small groups. Natural sustainable materials such as wood, felt, and linoleum create a warm palette of colours and allow for a calm yet lively mood across all areas. • Photography: Noshe
