Haus am Zentrum
New Work meets East German modernism
New Work, Berlin, 2024
/New Work /Health
Welcome to Haus am Zentrum—the former Haus der Gesundheit (House of Health) on Alexanderplatz. This is not just a place of work, but a place where history is being made! Kinzo Architects took on the interior design for the new attic floors and the top floor of the old building, demonstrating how to transform a listed East German modernist building into a true New Work paradise.
Loft: Light, air, and lounge
The open office concept continues on the 5th and 6th floors. Steel and wood construction, skylights for daylight, and plenty of space for meetings, dinners, and phone booths. The zoning? With system glass walls and curtains, of course—for the perfect mix of openness and privacy.
Office space with character and charm
Forget boring open-plan offices! The 4th floor offers flexible workspaces, meeting rooms, lounge areas, focus boxes, and an all-hands area. Visible ventilation and suspended light rails create an industrial flair, while system glass walls with a lattice look and curtains provide privacy and flexibility. Ergonomic furniture, height-adjustable tables, and acoustically effective screens make working here a pleasure.
Sustainability? But with style, please!
Renewable raw materials, plants in root ball baskets, and clever reuse of existing structures—here, construction is not only sustainable but also smart. The technical equipment is state-of-the-art: ventilation ducts, lighting systems, and flexible IT installations make the spaces multifunctional and future-proof.
