GDC_KreativLAB

Project Description

A former logistics centre was to be transformed into a new working environment. Our client required the establishment of office premises and a spacious creative area. In consequence, our design idea was to match the functional skeleton construction made of reinforced concrete with modern design elements. By following this idea, three volume structures are to form an ensemble within the central axis of the 2nd floor. The structures divide the total area into two design areas and comprise two creative labs at the northern and southern end, respectively, as well as an ID:pool in the centre. The outer wall of the labs is covered by pure wooden boards. The inner life of the structures, like a laboratory, stands out in bright white paint. The wooden panelling covering the outer walls is reflected by the parquet floor, the entryways, in the form of cones, intensify the attractiveness of the inner area. Significant by design are the felt-covered sideboards and tables that structure the room and promote the exchange of information among personnel. The ID:pool is divided into three different areas. In the centre, the main hall is equipped with the standing table ‚Folding 888‘ and a lumen ceiling. This approach focuses attention to the hall as being the centre of the lab.
