A working city as a workplace
ESW
New Work, New Work, Munich, 2022
The open area of the new ESW office has been transformed into an office landscape inspired by urban life, with working and retreat spaces that offer employees space for interaction and communication, but also for contemplation and concentration.
In line with ESW’s activities, “city” is the meta-theme of the interior. Two volumes made of wood are reminiscent of building blocks. They offer space for retreats, zone the open space and provide many scenarios in a few square meters.

The one-floor building was extended with a second floor. The ESW had clear demands for the interior: because the administration and janitors form a new working community, the office space should encourage exchange and meet the different requirements of the two groups. The structural requirements posed a design challenge as the many large windows, which flood the room with daylight, also minimize wall space. Storage space and facilities therefore had to be integrated into the open floor.
