The design of this interior was inspired by materials traditionally found both in the town of Ingelheim and in the pharmaceutical industry. The organically shaped partitioning and the floor pattern evoke cells viewed under a microscope. Curved plasterboard and slatted partitions were installed in the most exposed places to act as a guide smoothing the flow of traffic through the busiest areas.
A premium was generally placed on elegance in the spaces that were being designed – from the choice of materials to an abundance of greenery. The main community zone is dominated by a green wall flowing on from a mirror that amplifies the area towards the front of the building. The space is appointed with designer furnishings upholstered in earth-toned materials.
In the space planning process, it was important to design a versatile working environment with plenty of intimacy for concentrated work, but also meeting rooms where talks could be held discreetly.
Offices that were fit for purpose and delivered savings of almost 50% were designed for the client by taking an efficient approach that carefully considered every inch so that there would be no dead space.
The office area is divided into smaller 12-person open spaces. There is also a silent room where people can focus on their work without being distracted by any talk. One particularly attractive feature is the central kitchen area at the heart of the layout. Linking to the front elevation via the community zone, it can be readily accessed from the adjacent meeting rooms. They can all be joined together to form a distinctive venue for company-wide events. When it is not being used for these events, the space is efficiently segmented for everyday office life.
