UNDPLUS, an interior design firm, undertook the task of designing and executing new office spaces for the Berlin-based advertising agency DOJO. Located within the Holy Cross Church building in the heart of Berlin Kreuzberg, the office seamlessly merges the sacred existing architecture with a contemporary design philosophy.
Harmonizing Old and New
To achieve a harmonious integration of old masonry with modern elements, UNDPLUS employed contrasting materials, geometric features, and decorative accents in the company’s CI color. This approach respects the sacred context of the building while infusing it with a fresh and dynamic atmosphere.
Central Cubic Seating Area
At the heart of the office lies a cubic seating area adorned in black with vibrant slime green cushions and side tables. This central space, flanked by staircases on both sides, is crowned by a symmetrical dome, reminiscent of the building’s original sacred ambiance.
Functional and Aesthetic Kitchen Design
UNDPLUS reimagined the kitchen area, not only enhancing functionality but also improving acoustics. Custom-made metal frames divide the space into distinct zones: a sleek black kitchen and a separate dining and meeting area. Integrated soundproof panels within the metal structures ensure a quiet and conducive working environment.
Monochrome Sanitary Facilities
The sanitary facilities feature a monochrome design scheme, with epoxy floors and tile walls in striking slime green. Contrasting black accessories add visual interest and cohesion to the space, creating a seamless aesthetic throughout.
Collaborative Lighting Design
Collaborating with the design brand +kouple from Kyiv and the advertising agency DOJO, UNDPLUS curated bespoke lighting solutions. A distinctive slime green pendant PLATE lamp, designed and produced by +kouple, serves as a captivating focal point in the kitchen area, adding a touch of modern flair.
By skillfully blending tradition with innovation, UNDPLUS has transformed the DOJO office headquarters into a dynamic and inspiring workspace that honors its historic surroundings while embracing contemporary design principles.
