User Centric Spaces and Places
CONNECTING IDEAS WITH SPACES.
CONNECTING PEOPLE IN SPACES.
CONNECTING Physical AND DIGITAL.
Connecting people. Improving their wellbeing. Increasing creativity and productivity. Seamlessly connecting the real and digital worlds. Communicating values and ideas: We firmly believe that spaces and places can do all of these things. For projects ranging from individual office spaces to entire campuses: We advise and enable companies and institutions to think holistically about places they inhabit and fill them with function and feeling.
NEW THINKING DEMANDS NEW PERSPECTIVES
Companies, the public sector, universities and the real estate industry all have to deal with changing user needs. What makes people want to come into the office? How do we make intelligent, efficient and flexible use of space? What raises universities to the level of excellence? How do we align properties with future needs and ensure their market value is maintained? What attracts users to your property? We have answers to many of the key questions and challenges of our time – from the use of new technologies – such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT) and mixed reality – to energy efficiency, climate protection and economic building operation through to the competition for the best talent, students and customers.
FOCUS AREAS
The Future of Work
It’s a long time since knowledge work was restricted to the office. It now takes place in home offices and other places – sometimes using digital technology, sometimes hybrid. We see this change as an opportunity to completely reimagine the design of workspaces. The office becomes a source of identity and integrity, a healthy place with a positive impact on the wellbeing of employees.
We advise on sustainable use concepts both for new and existing buildings. We develop specific measures based on strategic focus areas, translate customized New Work visions into planning and execution criteria, and support all parties involved as equal partners.
Human-Centred Education
New Education focuses on people. Increasingly, the campus is becoming the beating heart of student networking. Here, students can find in one place a combination that their apartments, cafés and parks cannot offer: versatile and flexible spaces, smooth transitions between uses, and attractive outdoor areas. The campus is a place of encounter, exchange and cooperation. Students want to learn in ways that best suit their needs. And they need a place that creates identity, a place with a pleasant ambience. And where they feel at home. These factors are just as important to them as a modern approach to digitization.
We design such inspiring places and buildings with holistic solutions, allowing universities and other educational institutions to master the wide-ranging challenges of the future.
