Where Ideas Take Root

Architectural interior design showcasing organic forms and natural light

At Westhive Zug, we created a work environment that transcends traditional office standards. GALA engineered an integrative workplace strategy that unites flexibility, social interaction, and deep-focus work. The design strengthens Westhive’s community culture, solidifying the location as a premier innovation hub in Zug.

Biophilic Design & Atmosphere

Timber is the soul of this space. We utilized natural materials and warm textures to reduce stress and spark creativity, breaking the "corporate chill" for an inspiring, residential-feel work world.

Hybrid Office & Strategic Zoning

Focus meets exchange. Through precise zoning, we linked open lounges with ergonomic desks, allowing for a fluid transition between high-energy team collaboration and private deep-work sessions.

Community-Oriented Architecture

Architecture as a network catalyst. The open layout is strategically planned to encourage serendipitous encounters, using transparent structures to maintain sightlines and strengthen the sense of shared community.

Project Insights: Co-Working as a Productivity Ecosystem

For Westhive Zug, we developed an interior concept that views the office not as a storage facility for hardware, but as a social ecosystem. In the era of remote work, the physical office must offer value beyond function: identity, inspiration, and connection. Our design balances maximum desk density with generous, open-ended "third spaces."


The Design Concept: Industrial Comfort & Materiality

The narrative plays with the contrast between industrial clarity and biophilic warmth. We utilized honest materials, solid wood, exposed concrete, and high-end textiles, to give the space a tactile quality. Central "Social Hubs" like the coffee bar are staged as focal points, while integrated media technology remains invisible, ensuring the architectural aesthetic remains pure.

Delivering Added Value

Workspaces with Identity: A design that attracts talent, boosts productivity, and makes co-working a tangible brand experience.

Frequently Asked Questions: Co-Working Environments

Through strategic absorption. We utilize acoustically active surfaces on ceilings and walls, supplemented by textiles and plants, to lower decibel levels without sacrificing architectural transparency.

Because natural elements are scientifically proven to increase well-being. A "healthy" room leads to higher workplace identification and significantly improved creative output.

By creating social anchor points. We plan traffic routes and communal areas to facilitate spontaneous interactions, which are the foundation of the co-working networking philosophy.
