Kanzlei or Law Firm, is a 100m2 project in Berlin for a 4 – 5 person office. The client wanted to maintain the loft character, but also required clear defined spaces for him and his team. They wanted spatial separation with a clear boundary, but visual connection. Using simple gypsum board construction, we created division with perspective openings in glass. Gypsum lines on the ceiling connect electric from room to room and acoustically separate the water pipes from above while also forming an additive three-dimensional ceiling composition. In plan, we used lines to determine the perspective glass openings, ensuring complete visual connectedness from room to room. Six different light paint tones on the inner walls of each room subtly match the light tones from the existing brick walls.
