We are facing a real paradigm shift: With the move into our New Home, the Fleetyard, we are not only saying goodbye to Nagelsweg, but also to a working world that, for many years, was shaped by fixed structures, assigned desks, and little room for genuine exchange.

Until now, the fixed workplace was the space where nearly every task was completed – often with limited opportunities for encounters, spontaneous conversations, or flexible collaboration in larger teams. 

Our working world is changing – and so are we

In the Fleetyard, we will shape our work environment according to the principle of Activity Based Working. This means: We are moving away from static workplaces and gaining a variety of new possibilities. Instead of a fixed desk, we will in the future choose the work environment that best matches the task at hand – supported by defined areas for teams.

Design impressions of the interior, which …
… will enable activity-based working.

In this way, an environment emerges that equally supports exchange, collaboration, and focused work, and is more strongly aligned with the actual needs of everyday work:

✔ Spaces for spontaneous conversations, knowledge sharing, and informal encounters

✔ Zones for hybrid collaboration in small or large group

✔ Quiet areas for focused work

✔ Community spaces that make our culture visible

The Fleetyard therefore not only creates suitable working environments for different activities, but also better conditions for making more conscious use of the times we spend together on site. How exactly this activity-based working functions and what added value it will create in our daily routines is explained by Manu from the project team in a short video:

With the Fleetyard, we are creating a working environment that offers us more flexibility, more exchange, and more opportunities for collaboration. At the same time, there is room to continue developing the new concept together and bring it to life. We are looking forward to discovering the building and the new way of working step by step with you – and to shaping a modern, future-proof working environment together.
