Easy Busy – family friendly co-working space in Berlin, Germany by Transstruktura architecture

The ground floor of a residential building in the center of Berlin has been transformed into a creative co-working site that offers not only work space but also space for children and families. This is a functional solution for a diverse audience that wants to work, play and have fun under one roof. This space enables young parents to combine their professional aspirations with their family lives in order to achieve a balanced working life in this phase of their lives. It also contributes to the formation of an informal community of parents and young professionals who share common professional and family problems.

The 215 m² space was spatially and acoustically divided into three main functional areas – working, a children’s room and a public area with a café. This layout was chosen to enable working in a space that is not only as comfy as your home but also as effective as an office.

The public area with a café invites to networking and chatting. Visitors can get information and drinks at the reception-desk. For more flexibility the desk can be moved on rolls. An additional self-service kitchenette and sanitary facilities are placed in the basement, which can be reached through a connecting staircase placed inside the public area. The spacious children’s room can also be transformed into a space for events and courses. It can be unified or separated from the public area with a large soundproof double wing door. The children’s cloakroom can also be used as a retreat for nursing mothers.

The working space is divided into several well-equipped areas with different types of seats, lighting and furniture for different working styles (single or team). A meeting room is placed next to the working space using a glass partition.  The build in furniture from white varnished wood was designed as flexible as possible to serve the many usage scenarios. The color spectrum of the company logo and the logo itself are repeated in the walls and the furniture. Though being situated near to a children’s room, the acoustic concept for this space enables a quiet working atmosphere. To improve acoustics, the rooms were acoustically decoupled and finished with wooden absorbers mounted on the ceiling or on the walls. The main working space has a direct access to the wooden terrace. The coworkers can enter the patio and work outside.
