MANN+HUMMEL is a global leader in filtration technology for mobility, air, water and industry headquartered in Ludwigsburg, BadenWürttemberg, Germany. MANN+HUMMEL embodies the principles of purity and sustainability in its mission to create cleaner environments. This philosophy became the foundation of our design, inspired by the Japanese concept of Seiso (清掃), which translates to "purity”. Nature inspired elements were integrated into the workspace to create a biophilic environment that resonates with the company’s core values, enhancing employee well-being and productivity while staying true to their sustainable ethos.
The space incorporates organic forms, earthy tones, and natural materials such as wood and stone to create a serene, biophilic environment. Notably, the innovative light fixtures on the ceiling and the glass box behind the reception create reflections that mimic the rippling effect of water when light hits them, enhancing the connection to natural elements
The open workspace is thoughtfully designed to accommodate various working modes, including focused and collaborative zones A writing board enhances collaboration within the designated collaborative area, while workstations are strategically positioned to benefit from abundant natural light streaming through large windows.

I had the opportunity to be part of the team responsible for the refurbishment of Space Matrix, the firm I was working for. This project was particularly exciting as it centered around the concept of an "un-office." The aim was to move away from conventional, formal office environments and create a relaxed, innovative workspace that fosters creativity and collaboration

The concept encourages employees to move around and interact with colleagues from different teams, fostering a sense of connection and collaboration. By promoting these interactions, employees gain a broader understanding of each other's work, which proves valuable when collaborating on projects This approach not only enhances communication across departments but also motivates employees to explore and use the entire office space, creating a dynamic and engaged work environment.
As part of the "un-office" concept, a small café setup was designed on the ground floor, located in the exterior of the building. The aim was to provide employees with a space where they could come to work, enjoy a coffee, and refresh before continuing with their tasks. Additionally, this area was designed to allow vendors to showcase their products It also served as a space for clients to engage in discussions without interrupting the workflow inside the office, offering a more relaxed and private setting for meetings.
