An office to grow like a moss
The project shows a full-scope interior design, delivered for the fintech growing start-up Moss to create their new headquarters at a former bread factory in east Berlin. 
A contemporary work base was created for 80 employees in alignment with the client's firm culture.

An engaging process
From concept to tendering and coordination of all services, this office went from a practically empty space into a full-working hub in only 5 months. 
This was only possible due to a deeply involved and passionate client, as well as the choice of perfect partner companies for the rollout, who all understood their work was beyond their assigned tasks and part of an ultimate and superior common goal.

An obstacle becomes a centerpiece
After many twists and turns when creating the floorplan, there was only one place left to place the ping pong table: right at the entrance.
Unwilling to vulgarize the first impression, a custom-made table was designed for this purpose - turning an obstacle into a centerpiece. The same principle was applied to the column that was completely covered in moss.

A hybrid sustainability approach
Striving for circularity, Studio Vale created a sustainability strategy around subscription models, complemented with recycling and repurposing of on-site resources, and with fallback solutions that still kept these materials in the circularity loops as much as possible. Off-the-shelf conventional solutions completed the team's approach due to time and market constraints but were kept to a minimum.

Re-humanizing activity-based-working
This take on activity-based-working, prioritizes privacy as a way of re-humanizing the office. Visual and acoustic privacy are provided holistically with architectural solutions complemented with mobile elements. Playful but sound ceiling acoustics, work islands featuring dividers and higher phone booths-to-employee ratio and meeting rooms-to-employee ratio support the idea of creating a safer personal space around the user.

Repurposed architectural acoustics

In this project, Studio Vale was also given the chance to step into the demolition of the office of the previous tenant, with the opportunity to order the safe demounting of certain elements. Seeing the potential behind it, the team came up with a solution to create something special and brand-related out of the bland acoustic panels, which would also represent a major cost-saving factor for the project.
