In detail.
The top six storeys of office space have feature state-of-the-art design to accommodate different types of work. Work stations, meeting spaces and, crucially, spaces that encourage communication all form part of this differentiated office design.
Colour played a key role in the design. A total of six colours feature on the walls, upholstered furniture, the films used on the glass partitions and the lettering. Strähle’s all-glass System 2000 walls highlight the elegance and ease reflected in the interior design.
The partition consists of an internal patented system stand with variable planking options. Finished with a flush glass look, it creates a sense of light elegance. The slim design and rigidity allows for generous spacing. Like all Strähle systems, this one is modular and quick to assemble.
