PLY atelier designed a Co-Working Space at Otto Campus in Hamburg. Within the framework of ‘Kulturwandel 4.0’ the open space of 1700 m2 on the 8th floor of a former storage building was transformed into a collaboration-workspace with multiple scenarios for open and creative environments. The open space concept consists of key areas with different functions and has consistently no walls, except for the glass walls defining the meeting rooms.
In the heart of the space there is an arena that holds 100+ person with flexible furniture and multi media technology. The space is used for presentations, speeches or panel discussions and by closing the acoustic curtains the open space transforms into a cosy, secluded island.
The flexibility of the space was achieved through different sorts of workspaces, from quiet library-like work niches with height-adjustable tables and classic group-benches to the special-made flex-bench, a system of adjustable tables that form single, double or group workstations designed by PLY atelier.
For the additional areas such as lounges, quiet rooms and phone-niches the focus lay on acoustic innovations.
The space is open for all Otto Group companies and employees and is widely popular.
