Office of the future, new work, new working environments... Many terms for one fact: The traditional office is changing. But what does the office of the future look like?
The one-size-fits-all solution that once existed no longer exists. New working environments must be created or redesigned individually in order to meet the equally individual challenges faced by companies. As architects and interior designers for New Work, we reveal what the office planning The future is here.

The workload in the office has changed: Where every workplace used to be occupied, you can now find one or the other empty desk. The reason is the home office, which has now become established and is now used in many companies by default is offered. This freed up space now offers the opportunity to use and design it differently.
Desk sharing is a practical solution for many companies so that the vacant space can be used efficiently and is not left vacant as fixed desk space. The actual number of desks required is determined by bkp interior designers using automated tools and adapted to the company's daily needs. This is practiced, for example, at renault in Cologne. Office employees always work wherever there is a vacant space. A nice side effect: You regularly come into contact with changing colleagues.
But New Work is much more than desk sharing and Home office. Because what primarily attracts employees to the office now is the personal exchange with other colleagues. Collaboration and communication are at the center of attention. This requires spatial conditions that make collaboration possible and promote creative collaboration. Fewer fixed desk spaces create flexible space for exchange.
Think tanks can do that, as with the teapot in Düsseldorf or even an integrated lounge. Cosy staff restaurants like the experts for connection technology Weidmüller Just like cafés or well-designed kitchens, invite you to change scenery. None of this sounds like work for now, but companies are increasingly taking this into account. Because moving to places with a special atmosphere creates a contrast that can inspire creativity.
And also the hybrid exchange is supported in New Work: Telephone boxes offer the right environment for video or telephone conferences. The interior designers and architects from bkp have such units, for example at BYK chemistry in Wesel or in your own Düsseldorf office integrated. This is also how exchange takes place with colleagues who remote Work from home.
Head in the Clouds Unusual work zones break up rigid structures and offer space for creative ideas
An office that optimally combines all of these features is a flexible Multispace. “Multispace” because various zones are integrated, which focus on different characteristics. “Flexible” because the individual elements in a modern multispace can always be adapted to new challenges and work situations. A modular structure leaves room for redesign. Mobile partitions make variable room constellations possible. As, for example, with Martor in Solingen or at Gothaer in Cologne. Here, some walls also serve as writable surfaces to enable spontaneous brainstorming sessions. Two functionalities are virtually combined.
The architects from bkp develop new working environments that not only create short-term spatial changes, but are also sustainable for the future. This means that it is possible to redesign here in line with needs over the years without always having to create something new. This is both cost-effective and ecologically sustainable.
New Work It also means: an opportunity to redesign old things attractively. A clear Brand Architecture, a spatially tangible corporate identity and visual highlights promote identification with the company and contribute to employee loyalty. A stringent design is part of the company's DNA, as it reflects philosophy and values. This helps employees and customers to orient themselves and find their way into the company.
With renault In Cologne, for example, road signs — in keeping with the automotive theme — show the way through the new working environments. At the Düsseldorf headquarters of teapot A wall graphic made of historic tea cans adorns the “Tea-Point” lounge. Founder quotes and large-format images on glass make the history of the company tangible.
The New Work interior designers and architects from bkp work with companies to develop goals and messages that should be supported and communicated by the office. The office of the future is therefore no longer a solution for everyone, but translates individual working methods, requirements and characteristics into a modern office concept.
