Vereinigte Hagel, Regional Management in Münster
Quality proves itself in everyday life – and perhaps an insurance agency is the best place to demonstrate this. In the office of Vereinigte Hagel in Münster, the raumplus system encounters the tough office day on a large scale and still retains its easy guiding quality. Everyone can see each other, everything is transparent, yet the spaces are easily separated by the glass sliding doors. The staff is delighted. The architect Zita Edeler, who is responsible for the generous and elegant interior design in the company’s regional management building, confirms the verdict. »Even the large doors don‘t make you afraid to handle and move them properly.« For the architect, this high-quality functionality was an essential criterion in the planning process. She deliberately used the possibilities offered by the raumplus partitioning system for the unusual ceiling-high doors. No compromises had to be made with drop-ceiling constructions and reduced height doorways, and despite the tall doors, the rooms can be opened and closed comfortably. What is favored by a designer is not necessarily pleasing to the users, which is why Zita Edeler arranged discussions with the staff of the Hagel insurance agency during the planning phase, to check if her ideas about an open, bright decor would be supported. She consistently received positive responses. There were only brief concerns about the glass office doors – but those evaporated after the positive experiences in the daily work environment.
