Stepping into SPIE’s new headquarters at the EUREF Campus Düsseldorf, you don’t enter a conventional corporate office. Open spaces transition into quieter retreats, while raw materials meet warm wood accents. For SPIE Germany Switzerland Austria, this location feels like a natural fit. A company that plans, builds, and operates infrastructure for the energy and mobility transition finds here an environment that shares the same commitment to openness and sustainability.
Spread across approximately 8,250 square meters are more than 500 workstations, conference areas, and an Experience Center. Floor-to-ceiling glazing draws the campus deep into the interior, while warm wood surfaces contrast with exposed concrete ceilings. Lounge areas, workspaces, and conference zones flow seamlessly into one another. In between, there is always room for interaction.
At the center, a generous wooden staircase connects the different levels. At times a meeting point, at others a place to pause or an informal stage for conversations between meetings. The architecture remains open and permeable without ever feeling restless.
Ring-shaped Ringo Star pendant lights by Lightnet float beneath the exposed concrete ceilings in staggered sizes — individually above seating niches, grouped across open areas, or as a calm focal point above the conference table. Planned by Objektlicht Piwarz, they create focal points without drawing boundaries. Their uniform, glare-free light holds the open spaces together and frames moments of focus just as naturally as informal interaction.
