Room-in-room, new office space at Otto

Mobile working has been standard at OTTO for over 14 months, and many no longer want to go to the office every day even after the lockdown. And yet a new company headquarters is still being built on the Otto campus in Hamburg. Even more offices, even more space - the opening of the new headquarters is planned for 2023. Why is OTTO sticking with the building and what will the new offices look like? Has the corona pandemic changed the plans? What ideas are there to simplify hybrid collaboration in the new offices? And what will modern offices actually have to offer in the future in order to be able to successfully compete with a permanent home office? Do we even need offices anymore? FutureWork expert Philipp Poppe is responsible for the space planning of the new office landscapes at OTTO and reveals in the O-TON why the office is dead despite Corona and what office worlds at OTTO will look like in the future.

With the room-in-room system vetroCUBE, woodtec has made an important contribution to making these new areas fit for the future. With vetroCUBE, soundproof rooms are created in the middle of the area, in the immediate vicinity of the workplaces. These can be used ad hoc by employees on demand and invite you to have conversations, teamwork or communicate via Skype, Teams or similar channels, e.g. with colleagues in the home office. This creates exactly the retreat areas, the spatial diversity, which is intended to help make the office attractive again, to convert it into a meeting place and to prepare it for hybrid working.
