After the purchase of the building by the firm DORNER Health IT Solutions the ground floor was to be turned into the firm’s headquarter, whereas the first floor was to contain rentable office space.

After having played with several variations and solutions, we settled for a dark paint finish and reflective panels, giving the building an exclusive look.

Due to acoustic reasons, the ceiling was partially covered with woodwool slabs whereas all of the installation remained uncovered.

The carpenter made walls containing cabinets that are opened up with ample windows allowing visual contact between the rooms.

As counterpart to the wooden interior there is a bright white mountain set in the angle of the L-shaped room, that serves as retreat and informal meeting room. Set in the rear part of the office there is also a freestanding cube containing a second, more private, meeting room.
