Alexanderplatz Office

Office Interior Design at Alexanderplatz, Berlin

The Alexanderplatz Office commission came to us as a brief for a workspace that could hold a large team without feeling corporate. The client — a Berlin-based creative business — wanted the energy of an open-plan environment with the calm of a space that actually supports focused work. What we designed is a considered sequence of zones: a central community area, enclosed lounge pods, a fully equipped kitchen, and an open workspace that manages acoustics through material rather than partition.

The Community Table

The centrepiece of the project is a bespoke community table — a long, solid form that anchors the central zone and functions equally as a meeting surface, a lunch table, and an informal working space. We prototyped three material directions before arriving at the final specification: a warm-toned solid timber top on a lacquered steel base, scaled precisely to the room's proportions. The clay render and front-on views in our documentation capture how the table reads differently at each time of day as the light shifts through the east-facing glazing.

Material Logic

The kitchen is the project's most deliberate material statement: stainless steel units against a run of yellow handmade tiles. The combination is direct and undecorated — it references Berlin's industrial heritage while avoiding the self-conscious brutalism that commercial interiors often default to. The yellow is specific: warm enough to energise the space, restrained enough not to dominate it. We sourced the tiles from a small European manufacturer whose variation in glaze finish gives the wall its depth. This approach mirrors the material discipline we applied in the House of Culture and our broader thinking on materials that perform over time.

Lounge and Focus Zones

The lounge area uses upholstered seating and low tables to create a genuine decompression zone — a place to take a call standing up, to run a small informal meeting, or simply to think away from a desk. Acoustic performance was designed in from the start: fabric panels, soft furnishings, and ceiling treatment work together to reduce reverberation across the open floor without any visible acoustic hardware. The result is a space that feels full of energy during collaborative work and surprisingly quiet when the team is heads-down.

Project and Fit-Out

The fit-out was completed in phases to minimise disruption to the client's operations. Programme management, contractor coordination, and on-site oversight were handled entirely by our team — a single point of contact from concept through to handover. If you are planning a commercial interior in Berlin, we would welcome a conversation about your project.

We Also Design for Remote Work

Not every workspace brief calls for a full commercial fit-out. We work with equal enthusiasm on dedicated home offices for clients who work remotely or run small teams from home. Our Berlin Home Office project shows how the same principles — zoning, acoustic thinking, material quality — translate directly into a private residential context. If you need a space that performs professionally without leaving home, we would be glad to help.
