Design: Upper Design

Bosch's "New Way of Working" project includes the renewal of interior spaces in their Budapest office complex with an "Activity Based Working" concept, emphasizing flexible community spaces organized around green isles on all four levels.

Enticing the employees back to the offices was a priority goal, as personal connections strengthen the community, therefore promoting smoother workflow. In alignment with this, the interior design team put an emphasis on flexible, effortlessly convertible community spaces. The different areas, defined by curving surfaces, glass walls and unique light sources, are organized around green isles on all four levels, each recalling a different renewable energy source with the use of colors, materials, furniture, and wallpapers emphasizing the theme of the floor. The ground floor reflects on bioenergy, the clean, high-tech design is complemented by an abundance of indoor plants and a green wall. On the level above, representing geothermic energy, the focus is on earthy colors, more substantial furniture, and natural materials, like ceramics. The floor showcasing hydropower is bathed in blue, turquoise and coral colors, with ceiling lights resembling fishing nets; while the floor demonstrating wind energy with an airy, graceful style, the dominance of the light blue and white colors is accompanied by pastel tones. Finally, the roof terrace builds on the yellow shades and symbols of solar energy.

In this pilot project of the company's new workspace concept, with diverse acoustic solutions for open office spaces, with spaces that help collaboration and the formation of smaller groups, instead of a strictly rectangular arrangement of tables, the designers created an intimate and homely office with a unique and lovable atmosphere, which can set an excellent example for the new generation of big company offices. #interiordesign #officedesign #officeinteriordesign #officeinteriors
