COAST ARCHITECTURAL

OFFICE IN STUTTGART

„Eine flexible Umgebung, die sich allen Gegebenheiten In the Coast.office, a dynamic room configuration and
maximum flexibility not only succeed in promoting inten-
– analog wie auch digital – dynamisch anpassen kann, sive dialogue, open thinking and a true team spirit but

designing their own office premises, the Stuttgart archi-

office know about the strength of the rooms designed in this way. When
it came to designing their own office premises, however, the architects
remained true to themselves and put their trust in black exclusively: “For
us, black adds a feeling of enormous calm – we have a hectic environ-
ment in our everyday office routine and on what we see on the monitor
screens – so we absolutely wanted to avoid this when planning our own
working atmosphere.” In line with this, various gradations of the colour
black now support the concentration on the their open approach to new
projects: “Like a white or, rather, a black sheet of paper, as it were.” De-
spite the absolute focussing, however, the Coast.office ensures above all
dynamic work processes as well as the highest degree of flexibility, not
only because, thanks to acoustic curtains, the various zones can without
further ado be separated or interconnected to serve for events and mee-
4 ting scenarios but also because goal-oriented integration of digital tools
allows multimedia communication. Interactive touchscreens can therein
3 5 be used as blackboards, presentation tools or for video conferences and
are each positioned in places where it is guaranteed that spontaneous
encounters and therefore new impulses result in the workflow. “We
have planned everything with the utmost precision in order to be able
7 8 to also sometimes change the perspective and thus give ‘the fortunate
coincidence’ a chance.” But even though exchange, communication and
workflow are promoted without any restrictions, the teams also have
6
privacy options available for concentrated working or confidential talks.
