\n New work environments don\u2019t start with furniture. They start with the question of how people actually want to work. That\u2019s why, for the administration and communications center at hit-Technopark, a work environment was created that views openness and concentration not as opposites, but as a team. \n\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Not every open space is actually one<\/h2>
At the heart of the concept lies a simple idea: What appears at first glance to be an open space is, in reality, a precisely balanced interplay of privacy and interaction. \n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

The door as a tool<\/h2>
Floor-to-ceiling double doors connect individual workspaces with communal areas, giving you the freedom to switch between focused work and spontaneous collaboration. Sometimes, all it takes is a single gesture.\n<\/div> <\/div>\n

The kitchen as a hub for communication<\/h2>\n \n

\n The spacious kitchen counter serves as the social hub of the office. From here, conversations, meetings, and interactions branch out into different areas, ranging from the library to lounges and conference rooms. This creates a work environment that fosters daily interaction with tenants, visitors, and partners while also supporting the team\u2019s ability to focus.\n\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n The materials and atmosphere reflect a commitment to authenticity and durability: wood, glass, brass, exposed concrete, and rubber define the space and give it an identity that is both robust and inviting. This is complemented by a lighting concept that meets functional requirements while also creating a surprisingly cozy work atmosphere.\n <\/div>\n \n

More than 600 people work at the Tempowerk, which spans an area of approximately 30,000 m\u00b2. At the heart of this network is the office of Christoph Birkel and his team: a service point, communications hub, and meeting place all in one. As a result, daily life here is bustling, with visitors, tenants, and contractors constantly coming and going. The new office has created a work environment that responds precisely to this dynamic: transparent, flexible, and open\u2014without losing sight of the need for focused work. It\u2019s a place that demonstrates that effective collaboration requires one thing above all else: the right spaces for it.<\/p>\n

With Kinzo\u2019s acquisition of Ply in 2024, experience, teams, and expertise have come together. Since then, select projects from the Ply portfolio have been continued as part of the shared body of experience within the Kinzo portfolio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n
