A Coffee a Day

When Continental outgrew its original headquarters, the company chose to relocate to a new build in Hanover’s city forest. We were responsible for designing the work areas, the restaurant and the cafeterias. Where there is coffee, there is conversation. And, as already mentioned, communication is always an innovation driver. Accordingly, we designed the restaurant and the cafeterias in both parts of the building as hybrid spaces. Here employees not only find a suitable place to sit during break times, but the differentiated seating options on offer also serve as great alternatives to their own desk. Whether on a thickly upholstered compartment seat in the restaurant or on a seat in the busy atrium, whether in the midst of it all, hidden in an alcove, or partially concealed behind airy lamellae – everyone finds their creative inspiration in a different place. In the restaurant, mobile partition walls also allow the space to be divided up differently: from large for events, to small for restaurant operations.
