BR101

An eight-storey workplace concept for a fast-growing Berlin company, designed to feel less like an office and more like a neighbourhood.

Oak Volumes in a Concrete Frame

The building’s exposed concrete structure—columns, slabs and coffered ceilings—is left honest and visible. Within it, freestanding oak volumes organise each floor: they hold meeting rooms, storage and services, and in doing so define open studios, lounges and circulation without a single conventional corridor.

A Workplace of Many Speeds

• Open team studios with long shared tables along the facade
• Lounges and informal meeting corners between the columns
• Quiet zones with low, warm lighting for focused work
• A reception and break-out areas that welcome guests like a hotel lobby

Warmth and Daylight

Floor-to-ceiling glazing brings daylight deep into the plan, while the palette of oak, linen and concrete keeps the atmosphere calm. At night the facade glows, revealing the life of the building to the street.
