Confidential Association Offices – Berlin
Hagedorn Interior Architecture transformed the Confidential Association Offices in Berlin, optimizing open spaces and enhancing acoustic quality while preserving existing structures for a sustainable, flexible, and inviting environment.
The original office floor was to be largely preserved in its basic structure. At the same time, changing usage requirements made a revision of the existing floor plan necessary. The space was transformed into a conference and event area.
To create an open and inviting atmosphere, several walls were removed. The aim was to achieve a high level of transparency and a generous sense of space through the introduction of daylight from both sides and the removal of partition walls. Flexibility in the use of the rooms was a key priority.
A central concern of the client was the consistent reuse of existing components and structures in the interest of sustainable resource management. The existing glass partitions as well as the chilled ceiling elements were retained and integrally incorporated into the new spatial concept. The latter were arranged within a newly defined grid and, based on precise calculations, integrated into a revised ceiling plan that also meets lighting and ventilation requirements. Acoustically effective ceiling claddings visually recede the existing metal panels without impairing their functionality. In the course of the conversion, particular attention was also paid to room acoustics; through the targeted use of acoustic elements in drywall construction as well as wall-mounted absorbers, a high level of acoustic quality was achieved.
Based on the corporate identity, materials, colours, and furnishings were selected and integrated into the spatial concept. The warm, inviting atmosphere underscores the representative character of the space. The lighting concept developed in corporation with JBN complements this effect and supports both the spatial differentiation and the respective usage scenarios.
