Article source: KURZ architects “Form follows function,” one of the strongest mantras of modern architecture, found another tight fit at the new studio premises of SinnerSchrager in Prague. Kurz Architects designed a new office space in an old industrial building. Both the architects and the German digital agency combined the ideas of interior and digital architectures. Throughout the course of half a year, they used agile processes to plan, build and create a space for 60 digital workers. With a fixed budget and timing, the scope of the solution as constantly reprioritized and iterated upon — in an open, joyful and proactive manner. Trust and willingness to execute stood in the foreground of the collaboration. Elements like building blocks, frameworks and a strict design system were the common ground between the worlds of the architects and the digital agency; orbiting around these fostered their joint journey.

It’s a home for SinnerSchrader. The studio space meets the agency’s obsession with informal exchange across all disciplines, providing plenty of communication areas — whether in translucent meeting cubes, the large kitchen space, hanging chairs or focus areas.

Diversity can be found all around the studio, achieved by using a range of materials: from Marmoleum, zinc-coated metal sheets and polycarbonate boards to woolen carpets and plywood, highlighted by the combination of old and new Czech furniture designs.

This axis, which starts at the main entrance and ends at the open terrace, lends a dynamic to the entire space, connecting the individuals and teams.
