More space for inspiration and creativity

Sometimes, a spontaneous idea leads to a transformation process. Like in the case of our office extension: Would a former internship have not had the idea to do an employee survey, we might not be moving into new rooms now. The survey results made clear, inter alia, that our team wishes for more inter-divisional communication. As a result of this we re-designed our office space, created a new entrance area and made room for a lounge including some recreational gadgets. The rearrangement one on hand allowed the team to move together closer, on the other hand eventually limited the overall office space – all the more as we welcomed two additional team members. 

Ideal solution at our feet

The luck was on our side and we didn’t have to seriously seek for new premises. At Pilatusstrasse no. 35 – Dobas’ home since 2015 – the floor below our office turned out to be available. After a few conversations with the owner, the deal had been successfully closed in November 2019: From December onwards Dobas would additionally rent the fifth level and connect the two floors with an internal stair case. Right after Dobas’ CEO Patrick Buchecker signed the contract, the first interior ideas for the office extension came up. It should become a green oasis, the rooms should have a stunning effect and elements of surprise. The former employee Sara Asserlind took over the project, created mood boards and wrote a concept. The revised office arrangement involves workstations on the upper floor and four different zones on the lower level, including a lounge / reading corner, a material showroom, a virtual reality space and a generous welcoming area for clients.
