Experts for New Work, Healing Architecture and Banking in Hamburg

At the beginning of 2022, the interior design firm bkp opened a second location in Hamburg. This brought expertise in the conversion and construction of offices, banks and healthcare facilities to northern Germany. At the event, shareholders Heiner Kolde and Nadine Bauer talked about what people who want to build can look forward to.

How did the decision to open a second location in Hamburg in addition to Düsseldorf come about?

HK: Our team in Düsseldorf now consists of colleagues with valuable expertise in the areas of architecture, interior design and change management. As a result, we are very broadly positioned to make companies fit for the future with our restructuring measures. This is also reflected in the satisfaction of our customers. The renowned brands that we have been able to support so far and the good recommendations ensure that we receive inquiries from all over Germany. However, our principle is to be present with customers and on construction sites and to be available when something happens spontaneously on site. This can be achieved even better if the distances between office and construction site can be overcome quickly. It was therefore obvious for us to now open a second location.

NB: The choice fell on Hamburg, as I also personally have a lot in common with northern Germany. I appreciate the internationality of the Hamburg metropolitan region, the northern German area and I believe that there are some exciting companies and projects waiting for us up here.

Who will form the team in Hamburg in the future?

NB: The office in Hamburg is run jointly by Heiner Kolde and myself and is managed locally by me. We work with permanent and freelance employees to meet the requirements of our projects across the board. Of course, we also cooperate with our colleagues from Düsseldorf, whose experience and expertise draw on a certain amount of time. Personally, I am particularly pleased about this, as I will definitely leave Düsseldorf with a crying eye and thus continue to stay in touch with my valued colleagues.

Who is behind Nadine Bauer?

NB: I am a trained M.A. interior designer and have now been with bkp in Düsseldorf for over five years, where I was able to fully immerse myself in my professional profession. Here I have office and banking projects such as renault, handle, Intersnack or the apoBank Bochum supervised. A structured approach was and is just as important to me as trusting, interpersonal relationships. I am a maker and am not afraid to get involved in jobs that may not fall within my primary area of responsibility. My everyday life is filled with zest for action, which makes me enjoy special challenges and new tasks. This is now taking me to Hamburg and I'm excited to see what's in store for me here.

What can customers expect from the new location?

HK: Builders can look forward to a new partner in the North who will take their projects holistically and From a single source supervised. We want to simplify the often exhausting construction measures for our customers by being the only contract partner to cover all services from strategic planning to architecture and interior design to change management. Together with our customers, we develop the right strategy for the construction project and support the change processes right to the end. To this end, we define long-term goals based on corporate culture in a joint workshop. On this basis, we develop a tailor-made concept for the redesign of the property. This is how we create identification with the company, emotional connection and make companies a better place for employees and customers.

Which business areas does the Hamburg office cover?

NB: We serve the same principles, services and business areas in Hamburg as in Düsseldorf. This means that we act as a holistic partner for planning offices, banks and healthcare facilities. For building owners, the only thing that changes compared to Düsseldorf is that we can get to them faster due to local proximity and can therefore provide them with even better service.

Is anything changing for bkp Düsseldorf?

HK: Internal structures will certainly move a bit as a result of the expansion to Hamburg. We will fill a number of new and additional positions. New expertise, such as the position of “Head of New Work”, will also have a positive effect on our new location in Hamburg. We are also pleased with the exchange and the new horizons that the new location in Hamburg will bring.
