KSA Kurt Salmon Associates Headquarter
Swiss architects ern+ heinzl Architekten believe an open office creates a learning atmosphere. They feel this approach is great for bouncing ideas back and forth.
ern+ heinzl Architekten designed the KSA Kurt Salmon Associates, headquarters in Düsseldorf, Germany. You could be chilled by the coldness of the minimalist concept. Or you can be inspired by a large, open white space that encourages people to experiment. As creativity does not always happen at a desk, the space is comprised of a seating activity area and a standing activity area.
I imagine myself walking through an office that radiates white. A zone that captures light and holds it for your emotional senses and delight. A living thing. Is light the most sensous perception of space in architecture?

I would like to stick a sticker some where in there :D
they need a huge carmen herrera painting on the wall
chk, Nice. A pristine atmosphere can be intimidating. Employees should be able to make the office their own.
Cody, Carmen Herrera’s “Red and white triangle” painting would inspire employees to work a little differently. :)
I love this. It makes the PEOPLE in the office really stand out. They are the splashes of color that bring it all together. The surroundings are irrelevant, and the human element and ideas take the forefront. For what is an office building without those that work there? Nothing. And this design shows it.
It reminds me of the “construct” in The Matrix, a place where all things are possible and anything can be “loaded” as necessary.
Rob, WOW, I am moved by your story, one that is minimalist in the extreme. “They are the splashes of color that bring it all together.” You just inspired me to write about this topic.
The atmosphere is so cold. It’s like a clinic !
Simply brilliant!
