The offices of the Sparkassenakademie Baden-Württemberg in its Stuttgart building were to be revitalized and adapted to modern requirements. The offices, originally designed for 2-4 people, no longer met today's needs and were too small. A particular challenge was the tight timeframe: Since the Sparkassenakademie was only closed during the summer break, the renovation had to be completed in just three weeks. In addition, the work was taking place on the 6th floor of the building, and the elevator was too small to transport the necessary furniture and materials. Therefore, we organized a crane to efficiently transport the elements to the upper floor – a logistical challenge that we successfully mastered thanks to our experience and planning expertise.
designfunktion Rhein Neckar advised the Sparkassenakademie. With a comprehensive workspace analysis and employee involvement, a modern working environment, a truly new office, was developed and implemented. Space works, as the results clearly demonstrate. The Sparkassenakademie's new office offers a pleasant, modern, and future-proof work environment. The interior design clearly focuses on the employees. designfunktion commissioned us with the complex implementation of the renovation. 
The redesign of the premises was extensive: Almost all existing walls and flooring were removed. We also installed doors, manufactured custom-made furniture, and coordinated wallpapering and painting. We also created glass cutouts in the drywall to bring light and transparency into the newly created offices.
From our westermann products furniture collection, we integrated "flomo walls" with built-in "flomo boards." This solution not only serves as a privacy screen but also allows for flexible room layout. The "flomo wall" partitions are covered with PET acoustic felt on both sides, ensuring pleasant room acoustics, while the centrally mounted "flomo boards" serve as practical, removable whiteboards. 
A new kitchen with a counter area, a circular bookcase in vibrant Sparkasse red, and three round upholstered seating pieces complete the design and blend harmoniously into the overall look. Despite the ambitious schedule, we were able to successfully complete the project in just 3.5 weeks. From the planning phase to final installation, only 2.5 months passed—an impressive achievement that reflects the efficiency and dedication of our team.
