독일건축가 UNIT4가 최근에 완공한 오피스 리노베이션 프로젝트는
새롭게 입주하는 거주 인원들의 커뮤니케이션 활동 보장과
비즈니스 활동에 적합하도록 디자인 하는데 있다.
1960년대에 지어진 3층 빌딩은 이제 건축가가 제안하는
3차원 서포트와 실링에 의해 재조립된다.
기존공간의 불필요한 장식은 배제, 제거되며 공간 본연의 기능을 재조명하게 된다.
이를 통해 오피스는 건축주가 요청하는 것과 같이
작업자의 특성에 따라 가변적으로 구분 할 수 있는 동시에
오픈스페이스로 통합되는 사무공간을 형성하게 된다.

German architectural and general planning agency UNIT4 has recently completed its Stuttgart headquarters. The office space repurposes an old building, optimised to suit the work philosophy and communication procedures of the space's new occupants.
The 3-storey office building was originally built in 1960, and had been vacant for years. Its 3-axis support and ceiling construction with a self-supporting grid façade was ideally suited to re-define the architects' ideas in the premises on a surface of 485 square metres.

"The basic design idea was characterized by the thought to only have the bare essentials," explain the architects of UNIT4, "while providing room for development in one's own cocoon." This determined the elimination of the existing interiors, which were re-defined according to the needs of the agency, who wanted an integration of all workplaces into a single open-space working environment.
Half-height, obliquely running shear walls cover the technical supply of the workplaces, while simultaneously forming the static basis for each workplace, connected by a fluid gesture that determines flexible uses of the space, creating the impression of a flowing individual unit. "A strength of the cocoon-like design is its bleakness and reduced amount of materials," state the architects, pointing out how the interior finish was done in a way that enables complete removal of all spatial elements at any time.
