A new headquarters designed for teamwork and precision: At the Kupferzell site, a modern workplace has been created on the 18-hectare GEMÜ Campus, combining openness, functionality, and brand identity in a clear architectural language.

0 m²

The approximately 1,000 m² open-plan space in the atrium forms the heart of the new building. The high ceilings, abundant natural light, and clean lines create a spacious, tranquil work environment. Textile acoustic elements, modular zones, and a subdued color palette provide structure and orientation.

Workshop Area

A multifunctional team space where flexibility and precision come together—mobile tables, light colors, and a clean layout promote agile work.

Project Zone

Textile zoning creates fluid spaces for focus and teamwork—soft, flexible, yet clearly structured.

Think Space

A thoughtfully designed Think Space: technical clarity, modular architecture, and warm wooden elements come together to create a peaceful place for focused work.

Tea Kitchen/Lounge

An atmospheric space for dialogue and decision-making—clean lines, vibrant color schemes, and a precise lighting design create a striking architectural statement.

LEIK was responsible for the furniture selection, material coordination, and the complete interior design. The open workspace is complemented by “Think Spaces,” focus zones, and flexible team areas. The high-quality furniture—primarily from Vitra—facilitates ergonomic work, communication, and quiet reflection in equal measure.

The design combines technical expertise, precision, and openness—values that define this internationally leading company in valve and process technology. The project has received multiple awards for its successful combination of atmosphere, functionality, and user-centric design, including the German Design Award 2025 and the FOCUS Open Silver Award 2025.

A place that showcases how modern work environments function: flexible, clearly structured, fostering a sense of identity—and designed with people in mind.
