How do you combine three different companies and create a common culture without compromising the privacy between the companies? That was one of the challenges when Leimdörfer, Sveafastigheter and Brunswick Real Estate Capital merged. We at Studio Stockholm were commissioned to create a new office for the newly formed Brunswick Real Estate.
Challenge
Three companies moving into a new office creating a new/shared culture and identity as a group.
The new office should reflect the group’s international and premium stature while letting the brand stay “best in its class.”
The corporate group wanted to create synergies between the companies. The staff should be able to collaborate across borders – while maintaining the confidentiality of the companies, which was very important.
Process
An international interior concept with a stripped down and bold identity. Modern art, raw materials and distinctive design elements create a daring style.
A well-planned solution that promotes both openness and confidentiality between the companies. Three closed departments with strict privacy combined with three open departments that include a shared atrium, large kitchen and many common areas for meetings, working and creative discussions.
An activity-based office. In correlation with the move, Studio Stockholm helped to introduce an activity-based approach throughout the corporate group.
Result
A strong design expression that stands out. The office has given Brunswick Real Estate a uniqueness in the industry and has received a great deal of attention.
The group has managed to create a common environment for its employees and there has been a very positive response to their new office.
Efficiency has increased thanks to a flexible and dynamic way of working. There has been cooperation between the companies which has also identified new business areas. As a result, the group has expanded further and started new subsidiaries.
