In October 2016, Microsoft opened its new company headquarters
for Germany in Munich. The result: a completely new structure with
plenty of innovative concepts across 26,000 m². “Smart workspace”
refers to the symbiosis formed by merging the digital working world
with human traits. This places emphasis on performance and motiva-
tion. A further approach entails creating a fluid transition between the
work and private spheres. The “work-life flow” concept presents high
standards when it comes to room design, which in turn makes the
lighting concept challenging, a task Performance in Lighting is able
to master. The building contractor decided to install the SL713, a delicate
suspended luminaires that blends seamlessly into the office zone design.
In line with DIN EN 12464-1, the suspended luminaires are of course
anti-glare. Linear SL787 profile luminaires have been integrated in
the conference rooms with spot lights to accentuate the lighting
atmosphere. The project is based on a range of ideas drawn from a
continually evolving workplace in which people are considered the
most key element.
