Here the architectural studio of SSP SchürmannSpannel AG has succesfully developed the concept of a communication building and works now in a heterogeneous office landscape. Open work areas for interdisciplinary planning teams promote informal exchange in the processing of complex construction projects. Ten meeting rooms facilitate focused meetings or creative workshops with clients and planning partners. Single offices, group offices, communication lounges and retreating areas complement the mix of the working environment, and offer employees the opportunity to choose between concentration and communication according to their current tasks.

Maximum energy efficiency according to the Passivhaus-Standard is generated by the building through an optimal ratio of building surface to volume and a highly insulated facade. In addition, the exhaust heat from the server room is integrated. A decoration on Klimaschutz-Award 2013 citation impressively verifies the innovative integrated design concept of the Blue Office.
