Anyone planning a new office or wanting to establish a new office concept in the company will encounter a variety of options and terms: individual office, cell office, open-plan office, combined office, team office, multispace office...
What is behind this and which form of work is the right one to accompany the company productively and efficiently into the future? A clear recommendation is: the multispace office. Here you can find out what distinguishes it from other types of office and what special advantages it offers.

The classic among open-space offices is the open-plan office. Here, all workstations are arranged in a common, open area. A structure is partly created by half-height partitions or acoustic panels. The combined office takes a first step towards combining open and closed office concepts: Here, for example, cell offices are connected to the internal common area by glass walls.
The various office concepts can be roughly divided into two groups: closed individual or multi-person offices and open-space offices. Currently closed double or triple offices are the most frequently represented. Here, a fixed number of employees share a room in fixed constellations. In the so-called “cell office”, these are arranged along the building façade and connected via a common corridor. In team offices, on the other hand, a slightly larger group is gathered, which is defined by common areas of responsibility. The shared space makes it easier to exchange ideas and keeps you connected to the work of colleagues.
The multispace office is, so to speak, the supreme discipline among open space offices. It meets all requirements for a modern office concept. Instead of defining structures in individual, open-plan or combined offices, it combines the right solutions for a company's individual needs. The Multispace is characterized by different areas that optimally support the various forms of work. This is called “activity-based working.” Employees no longer have their fixed workplace for all tasks here. With Actvity-Based Working, they rather take up the space they need for their respective task at the moment. This can be a quiet retreat for concentration work or an interactive meeting point for exchange and creative ideas.

This principle is comparable to your own home: Here, too, there are different rooms and areas for various activities. They cook in the kitchen, sleep in the bedroom and shower in the bathroom. Just as we equip our own homes according to our individual needs — a gifted amateur chef certainly attaches particular importance to a comprehensively equipped kitchen — the multispace office also adapts to the individual requirements of a company.
The right thing in stock for everyone At BYK Chemie in Wesel, an old warehouse was transformed into a modern multispace
Through desk sharing and flexible use of work areas, the company is breaking out of rigid constellations. The result is automatically better networking among colleagues and departments. This is further supported by meeting points and zones for creative exchange. Informal, interpersonal exchange in particular plays a significant role in finding ideas and finding new solutions. The company's ability to innovate is increasing. This happens especially in the office, while working from home is predestined for withdrawn still work. The aim of the Multi Space Office is therefore to promote this.
Thanks to the open space areas of the multispace, collaboration within the company can also be experienced more strongly. This can result in a dynamic that encourages other colleagues to participate and exchange ideas. Managers in particular set an example — with a positive side effect: When everyone uses multispace, hierarchies are broken up and the perceived closeness to the company increases.
Die Identification of employees However, good cooperation with the company is not only supported by good cooperation: A high level of design quality, which goes hand in hand with a newly built multispace office, further increases employer attractiveness. Modern, digital work tools, high workplace standards and sustainability play a role, for example. studies also show that diverse work options go hand in hand with a high degree of self-determination. For example, autonomy in a multispace office is increased simply by the self-chosen form and environment of work.
The greater variety of spatial and work situations has positive effects on working efficiency, collaboration among colleagues and perceived self-determination. And significantly more so than other types of office. Confirm that studies of the Fraunhofer Institute. This is an important step towards achieving corporate goals such as innovative capacity, employer attractiveness or well-being.
Before they start renovating the office, bkp's architects and interior designers therefore first look at the strategic direction of the company. Together, goals are set that the Multi Space Office should achieve. How much space should be used for exchange? How much Home office Is offered in the company? What do employees want in the future interoperate? On a strategic basis, the interior design of the Multispace office is developed that is suitable for the company.
At the NEW network In Mönchengladbach, for example, the aim was to promote spontaneous exchange among colleagues. For this purpose, bkp's interior designers have created flexible common areas as well as spaces for spontaneous brainstorming in the corridors. Even with the Gothaer Insurance In Cologne, mobile, describable walls are a means of flexibly exchanging ideas with different colleagues. Thanks to the moveable elements, teams can easily work together in different constellations. At the BYK Chemie In Wesel, agile exchange was made possible through flowing structures that create a visual connection between different areas. Zones for exchange and cooperation were deliberately brought into focus.
