Modern Solutions Headquarters, Zurich

An international pharmaceuticals company has moved into new Swiss headquarters in The Circle, right next to Zurich Airport. Ippolito Fleitz Group helped the company transition to a New Work environment. In place of standardised, individual workstations, they designed a work environment that focuses on the individual needs of employees. The result is an office that packs a punch, differentiating while remaining flexible: with flowing, changeable spaces, set within a strong design framework.

The world of work is becoming a lot more capricious, more digital and more agile. Not only work tasks, but also modes of working can often change several times in one day. From multi-team brainstorming or small group problem-solving to intensive customer calls, focused individual work and a healthy downtime arrangement. A productive working day is a mix of communication, collaboration, concentration and contemplation. They therefore designed the Zurich office as an ecosystem of open and closed areas, offering the optimum conditions for every type of work-related activity. Permanently assigned workplaces are nowhere to be found. Instead, employees are free to decide for themselves which kind of work should be done where.
