The architectural practice Studio Alexander Fehre has completed the interior design for the new administrative offices of the Friedenau housing cooperative. This project is located within a recently constructed building adjacent to a public transit station in Berlin.
The design concept for the office was developed to accommodate the Friedenau housing cooperative's small, closely-knit team by providing a diverse array of work settings — from private offices and semi-open collaborative zones to informal meeting alcoves. These components were arranged around a central, flexibly furnished conference room that serves as a communal heart. A deliberate material and color scheme delineates the different functional areas within the space. Oak wood elements, for instance, provide warmth, while a distinctive, custom-crafted slatted wall with a color-shifting finish introduces a dynamic visual element.
