Linden Palais Germany - Norm Architects

Marble kitchens, large loft-like lounge areas with exceptionally high ceilings, and exquisite herringbone parquet flooring, as well as a salon on the top floor provide an impressive backdrop for people to work creatively and productively in the new TOG workspace. Located on the prominent boulevard of Unter den Linden, Linden Palais sits proudly amid Berlin’s most famous and historic monuments. Completed back in 1908, it’s one of the few buildings that wasn’t destroyed during World War II, why it still tells stories of time through striking ornamentation, precious ceiling mosaic, neoclassical stucco, and historic marble inlays that all serve as a stimulating contrast to the newly designed workspaces.

Being the former home of the French embassy, the Linden Palais has amazing views over Berlin and nearly 5.000 sqm of workspace across seven floors – with the upper floor being an extension designed later by David Chipperfield Architects. The space boasts an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, which calls for informal meetings over a cup of coffee brewed by a local coffee roaster, while offering a beautiful home for everyone, from young startups to freelancers or experienced entrepreneurs - Norm Architects

The habit of going to the office daily has changed the last years and remote working is now part of everyday life in many companies. After working from home a lot, I missed the atmosphere of working with colleagues and we started to seek out each other more and more. Norm Architects latest work shows that this doesn't necessarily have to be in a regular average office. Therefore, they’ve created a very beautiful building for the office group - full of comfort and with a lot of attention to design and a feel-good atmosphere, five floors of the most inspiring spaces with beautiful kitchens created to also create a homely place to gather with colleagues.

I just love the harmonious laidback atmosphere of a private dwelling created by details as the graphic panels, minimal inbuilt elements, and interpretations of classic chandeliers, the artworks on the walls and marble plinths, rugs and bookcases that accentuate the homey feel. So inviting and so perfect to work together again. You will find more images and spaces of Linden Palais here - Elvera
