Life in the city on the Isar

Macherei Munich

New Work, München, 2024

How do you design the branch office of an international company so that the rooms have an individual feel and employees feel at home? Localize it!

The large, agile workspace on the ground floor can be zoned with curtains whose blue and white color gradient is reminiscent of the proverbial Munich sky.

Probably the most obvious reminiscence of the Munich lifestyle is the tap of the confidential tech client´s Games Room, from which beer actually flows on Friday afternoons.

The rooms are characterized by a number of recurring furnishing elements, such as the flooring. Concrete is used throughout the first floor, while colored carpeting has been laid on the upper floors. Similarly, the ceilings in the corridor areas are cased with colored expanded metal panels.

Another design element: the numerous elaborate fixtures, which alternate between furniture and interior design and include functions such as seating, reception, storage or planters on various levels.
Kinzo set up the majority of the confidential tech client’s 95 seating and work opportunities in places with a partly informal character, such as meeting and workshop rooms, a library, cafés and communal areas with benches and seating niches.

Artist collaboration with Gabriel Holzner

The artworks are inspired by life in the city of Munich and specifically the “English Garden”. The artwork “Line Up” shown in the picture captures one of the unique aspects of Munich's river surfing. Instead of sitting on a board in the ocean waiting for waves, surfers in Munich stand on the riverbank waiting for their turn next.

The confidential tech client develops software solutions to optimize digital work processes and employs around 40,000 people worldwide. For its almost 400 employees in Munich, the company has rented space in a new office building in the east of the city, in the “Die Macherei” district

The new Munich location of the confidential tech client, realized by Kinzo, extends over three floors and occupies 570 square meters on the first floor, 2,500 square meters on the third floor and 2,100 square meters on the fourth floor. Two uses dominate: On the ground floor and parts of the third floor, there are large semi-public areas dedicated to collaboration with customers.
