Campus Founders Lab

Headquarters , Heilbronn 2020-2022

The new building at Campus Founder Lab is inspired by modern industrial design, with its prominent metal structure and ceilings, complemented by raw concrete core walls and abundant glass elements. As the senior designer for this project during my time at nod studios, my vision was to create a space that seamlessly integrated with the company's ethos while reflecting its innovative spirit.

Embracing the industrial aesthetics, I incorporated unique scaffolding elements, metal nets, wooden accents and a lot of greenery in the custom made elements creating a harmonious fusion of form and function. The bold color palette, featuring  the company's signature CI green, adds a vibrant touch that not only represents the dynamic brand but also infuses energy into the workspace.

The interior spaces are meticulously crafted to cater to the specific needs of the company, mainly a great flexibility and possibility of reconfiguration of the space. There are different teams that often vary in number so the possibility of easily and constantly reconfiguring the space was the most important design request. From open workstations to cozy breakout areas, the design strikes a perfect balance between industrial and inviting. Collaborative zones are on wheels and adorned with metal nets that not only serve as creative partitions but also symbolize interconnectedness.

What I learned

Wooden elements bring a touch of warmth and nature into the space, softening the industrial aesthetics and creating a welcoming atmosphere. The bold color palette, inspired by the company's identity, adds a pop of vibrancy, instilling a sense of pride and belonging among employees. The result is an awe-inspiring and cohesive design that reflects Campus Founder Lab's vision and fosters an innovative and engaging work environment.
