  • The existing canteen and adjoining conference rooms at Schufa Holding AG’s headquarters in Schiersteiern Hafen were modernized for the company’s employees. The aim of the project was to create an inviting and functional environment that employees would enjoy not only during their lunch break, but also beyond in a pleasant environment.

    The aim of the design was to create a “dining room” that invites employees to use the canteen outside of regular opening hours. Any requirement for a break is covered in the form of a varied offer through the zoning of the developed room concept. Whether at communication-promoting group tables or in quiet niches for undisturbed conversations – the space is structured in such a way that it meets the different needs of the employees. The room is structured with a wide range of lounge atmospheres and offers the right environment for every need.

    Improving the room acoustics played a central role in the redesign of the premises. Extensive acoustic measures, such as the integration of an acoustically effective ceiling or design elements in the fixtures, have created a pleasant sound environment that promotes the well-being of employees.

    In addition, the canteen in conjunction with the adjoining conference rooms offers a flexible environment for meetings, events, informal gatherings and much more. The innovative and modern furnishings in the conference rooms offer sufficient flexibility for every occasion.

    With an area of approx. 170 m², 61 seats as well as standing options at the bar and a lounge area have been created. On sunny days, employees can use the terrace with a further twenty seats and enjoy a magnificent view of the Schierstein harbor. The anteroom of the conference rooms offers additional seating at busy times.

    The unique modern ambience conveys the corporate culture of the private credit agency and makes this tangible for employees. Incentives were deliberately created to bring employees back into the office and offer them a perfect environment in which to get together. The canteen is a place where employees have the opportunity to take a balanced break. This is an important part of a successful working day and satisfied and motivated employees.
