Voestalpine, Linz

The offices are arranged around green atria – offices whose quality enabled this building to win the coveted Best Office 2010 award. The jury commented: “voestalpine has managed to accelerate internal communication between employees noticeably whilst at the same time respecting everyone’s privacy and individuality.” The prize, awarded by the ORGATEC trade fair and the German business magazine WirtschaftsWoche together with the Institute of Ergonomics at the Technical University in Darmstadt, singles out innovative office concepts that, in addition to the quality of their design, increase the efficiency and flexibility of work organisation, open up new communication paths, increase employee motivation as well as protect resources as they are in harmony with nature.

The innovative office concept features partition and acoustic systems from Strähle. All-glass walls ensure transparency in the corridors. In the conference rooms, the flush 2300 system combines high soundproofing values with elegant transparency and provides areas to which employees can withdraw with integrated blinds.
