The Swiss architects ern+ heinzl Architekten have designed the new headquarters for international management consultancy KSA Kurt Salmon Associates in Düsseldorf, Germany. From the new building, the company will manage clients from all over Europe; more than 50% of employeesʼ working time will be spent out of the office. KSA presented, as part of their brief, the idea of a space for communication and exchange of experiences and information, rather than an office for permanent and steady work. Accordingly, the architects decided to dispense with vertical divisions, keeping one big, open space, and instead to section it into two horizontal levels: one for seated activity and teamwork and the other for standing activity and team-overlapping communication.
