Innovative Office Design for US Technology Company

A renowned US electronics manufacturer engaged JLL Tetris to redesign their office space in Munich. The team implemented services in Design & Build and Office Furniture solutions, aiming to create a more functional and modern workspace for the local team.

JLL's team faced the challenging task of conceptualizing a contemporary and effective work area. The goal was to provide an optimal framework for 37 employees within a 600 m² space. The challenge lay in creating a balanced mix of open work areas and retreat options. The resulting design includes two medium-sized and one large conference room for effective collaboration, as well as five enclosed individual offices for focused work.

This project prioritized employee well-being. To create a health-promoting work environment, all workstations were equipped with height-adjustable desks and ergonomic chairs. This allows employees to flexibly adjust their working position, preventing back problems. All design elements were carefully conceived according to German workplace regulations (ASR) to ensure optimal working conditions and boost productivity.

The JLL Tetris team opted for a combination of acoustic ceilings, decorative wall panels, and room dividers in open areas and meeting rooms to create a pleasant sound environment. These integrated elements serve to optimize room acoustics while contributing to the aesthetic design.

A challenge was integrating sustainability and resource conservation into the project. The team creatively solved this by incorporating selected furniture pieces from the client's existing inventory into the new design. This approach not only reduced resource consumption but also created a connection between the old and new work environments. Furniture that wasn't reused found meaningful repurposing by being donated to employees or external parties.

The project went beyond mere office design. The team assisted the client in selecting green plants to create a pleasant atmosphere in the space. This attention to detail significantly contributed to creating a productive work environment.

The project implementation required extensive construction measures. These included adapting and replanning walls to fit the new layout, installing new ceiling and lighting systems, renovating sanitary areas, expanding the cooling system, and laying new electrical and IT cabling. The optimization of the cooling system and the installation of new floor and wall elements were key focus areas. Wall design included a combination of sound-absorbing panels, wooden elements with moss applications, and decorative wallpapers. Despite these complex tasks, the team managed to meet all time and budget specifications.

The JLL Tetris team impressed with professionalism and precision. By adhering to all requirements and implementing an appealing design, they created a work environment that combines modernity and efficiency. The new office design now optimally supports the technology company's work processes and provides employees with an inspiring environment. With this project, the JLL Tetris team underscores its expertise in designing forward-thinking workspaces that meet the requirements of modern companies while prioritizing employee well-being.
