The Swiss architects ern+ heinzl Architekten have
designed the new headquarters for international management consultancy KSA Kurt
Salmon Associates in Düsseldorf, Germany.
From the new building, the company will manage
clients from all over Europe; more than 50% of employees’ working time will be
spent out of the office. KSA presented, as part of their brief, the idea of a
space for communication and exchange of experiences and information, rather
than an office for permanent and steady work.
Accordingly, the architects decided to dispense with
vertical divisions, keeping one big, open space, and instead to section it into
two horizontal levels: one for seated activity and teamwork and the other for
standing activity and team-overlapping communication.
Since
the beginning of this year, the German headquarters of the consulting company
Kurt Salmon Associates is located on the top level of Breidenbacher Hof on Diisseldorf's
Konigsallee. The clinically white interior was realised according to plans by
Ern+ Heinzl Architekten from Solothurn. German headquarters of the consulting
