The most dynamic working environment is the so-called Connection Space, a version of Vitra's post-pandemic 'Club Office' concept adapted to the client's needs. Here, an open area of 800 square metres provides a site for work and meetings, interaction and exchange. Various public and semi-public zones provide suitable settings for different tasks and working styles. Permanent rooms are available for meetings, while other spaces can be 'privatised' in an instant using acoustic curtains. Planted terraces, lounge areas, a café that turns into a bar in the evening, the 'makerspaces' and workshops where ideas can be quickly tested out: they all promote creative exchanges, and are intended to bring people and companies together and help generate new ideas.
