New Work?
New Culture!
SCHMIDHUBER
How to create an innovative working environment that is future-proof and focuses on people.
The S-Hub’s original open-plan design facilitated a friendly and equitable workspace. As well as createing a positive and productive working atmosphere. The company’s relocation was an opportunity to reallocate resources and improve operational efficiency.

Working environment of the future
Currently the spatial question of work in particular is being posed in a completely new way. After the pandemic and with advancing digitization and mobility, the role of the office as a physical location must be rethought and redefined. Mobile work, and with it the simultaneity of digital and physical interactions, is becoming a key issue for future working environments.
Scenario 1 – The office as the physical center of work
If mobile work only plays a role occasionally, the staging of the collective and the perceptibility of the office as a safe place for the community is important. Trust-building measures will have a positive impact on the company’s working atmosphere.
Scenario 2 – The office as a flexible campus
If a company enables an increased proportion of mobile work and employees spend less than half of their working time in the office, a campus where experience is a major priority can combine different working models. In spatially flexible settings, there is room for exchange, inspiration and equally quiet workplaces.
Scenario 3 – The office as the heart of the corporate brand
If the team works primarily on a mobile basis, a visit at the office must be an enticing day of networking and sharing. The physical office must then create maximum identification. New Work and employer branding play hand in hand here – because together, the measures activate the potential of employees to significantly increase the company’s success.
Inspiration.
Competence.
Connection.
As a design agency for communication in space, we create clear brand attitudes, transform strategies and messages into moving experiences, and thus shape real brand relationships that stay in our minds – analog and digital, credible and effective. This way of thinking and acting is reflected in our structure as well as in our premises: in three houses with three gardens, flexible space design and office dogs.
We work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams characterized by holistic thinking. Instead of assigning tasks to individual disciplines, we put together specific teams depending on the project, encourage and demand individual initiative as well as a supportive attitude within the team. To this end, we have rooms of various sizes that are occupied as needed; our winter garden is particularly popular. In these flexible settings, we meet our colleagues as well as customers, applicants and guests at events and workshops.
We see ourselves as a platform, giving everyone the opportunity to contribute their ideas in the best possible way. In order to find the ideal solution for us, an internal team works closely with Marketing and HR on the topic of New Work, both conceptually and spatially. It is important to us to involve the entire team in the change processes. We want to strengthen our employees’ sense of belonging and offer them a self-determined, flexible environment – because we know that this not only makes them more satisfied, but also more efficient, creative and innovative.
Future of Work?
New Work Culture!
In order to act freely, innovatively and creatively and to be able to develop new strategies, products and services, an open culture is required that provides a clearly defined framework with room for maneuver for the individual.
We wanted to further enhance the functionality of the space and align it even more closely to work processes. One sample initiative: the creation of a separate room for working parents and their children.
