As a top oﬃce furniture supplier, feco also supplied the furniture for the communication, meeting, inspiration and concentration areas and was thus able to make use of its entire range of services. Four oﬃce ﬂoors oﬀer open teamwork areas, to which spatial zones for communication and concentration are assigned. With their rounded glass walls, they allow space to ﬂow around them and create fascinating spatial situations. The all-glass construction is held in place on the ﬂoor and ceiling by white proﬁles. The all-glass doors with frame-integrated technical door side panels are room-height. The ﬂoor-guided glass sliding doors are sound-absorbing. Lounge areas on the oﬃce ﬂoors promote creativity and interaction between employees. For the management area, a representative conference room was placed on the roof as a dynamic metal-clad structure. The canteen, which has been designed to accommodate 280 diners, oﬀers diﬀerent atmospheres. The large panels in the centre with massive oak table-tops and Scandinavian-design chairs create a modern but comfortable ambience.
