Cheplapharm Arzneimittel GmbH

Modern working environments for new challenges

With the expansion of its headquarters in Greifswald (Germany), Cheplapharm Arzneimittel GmbH has not only expanded its offices, but has also taken the opportunity to implement innovative work concepts. The seven office spaces totalling 900 qm were transformed into modern communication and meeting areas in a collaborative process - a milestone for the company's working culture.
In close collaboration with the customer's own project team, Interstuhl and its specialist retail partner Gohs planned a flexible New Work space concept that promotes both focussed work and team interaction.

Flexibility and structure - rethinking working environments 

The new spaces were specifically designed to enable different ways of working. Cheplapharm's aim was to create dynamic and adaptable spaces in which employees feel comfortable and can work efficiently at the same time.

Functional focus of the new rooms: 

'Be Focused' - Silent Lounge: Retreat areas for concentrated individual work, furnished with acoustic screens and built-in power connections.
'Come Together' - Lounge area: Cosy sofa elements and mobile dividers create an inviting atmosphere for informal meetings.
'Work Together' - Work Lounges: Screened team booths for productive collaboration in small groups.
'Brainstorming' - creative zone: Flexible seating landscapes and whiteboards encourage creative brainstorming.
'Be Active' - Flexible short meetings: Agile standing areas for quick and efficient meetings.
'Keep It Short' - short meeting area: high benches and bar stools for spontaneous discussions.
'Let's Play / After Work' - Recreation zone: Relaxation areas with gaming options for a successful end to the day.

In order to emphasise the diverse uses in the individual areas, customised room dividers from the Interstuhl Group's in-house wood manufactory GESA are now being used. They structure the highly frequented walkways and ensure a good balance between openness and privacy.

From planning to implementation

The successful transformation of the working environment at Cheplapharm began with planning customised to the client's needs and a detailed analysis of the current situation and requirements.

Technical and design highlights:

• Flexible and mobile furniture such as TANGRAM modules on castors, NESTY tables and UP standing aids to adapt to changing requirements.
• Optimised media and power systems thanks to electrified HUB elements and additional power points.
• Improved room acoustics thanks to customised acoustic panels covered with fabric.
• Challenging installation coordination due to the size of the 900 qm area across seven rooms.
   

The result - an inspiring working environment

With the realisation of this project, Interstuhl and retail partner Gohs, together with Cheplapharm, have created a modern and versatile working environment that supports a wide variety of working methods. The combination of open communication areas, focussed retreats and flexibly usable room solutions creates a dynamic working atmosphere.
The high adaptability of the new spaces is particularly noteworthy: Thanks to modular furniture, intelligent zoning and a well thought-out media and power system, the working environment can be adapted to changing requirements at any time.
The project shows how close collaboration between the interior design, planning team and solution provider can create an inspiring and functional office landscape - an environment that actively promotes modern working cultures and is sustainable in the long term.
