In a fast-evolving tech industry, companies are embracing workplaces that prioritise sustainability, customer engagement, and flexibility. Known as a leading hub for technological advancement, Munich is embracing spaces that merge bold design with environmental consciousness. This shift reflects a broader trend in creating workplaces that inspire innovation, promote adaptability, and enhance engagement — key factors for companies positioning themselves at the forefront of progress.

Gensler transformed Celonis’ Munich office into a six-floor Executive Briefing Center, blending adaptive reuse with dynamic design. By retaining and revealing the raw structure of the building, the design echoes Celonis’ transparent, data-driven processes. The project incorporates sustainable materials like cork, rubber, and existing concrete, aligning with LEED Gold standards. Bold interventions, such as innovative incubator spaces and a striking open cell grid staircase, symbolize networked ideas and create a forward-thinking environment that fosters collaboration between Celonis’ people and their customers.

Celonis’ Munich Executive Briefing Center has become a hub for collaboration. The design empowers customers to ideate alongside Celonis’ team and enhances the company’s brand reputation as an innovator and tech leader. By weaving the authentic identity of a start-up with the character of a more sophisticated firm, the design highlights how a thoughtful customer-first approach can foster innovation, support environmental resilience, and drive meaningful progress in the tech industry.
