Concept
The design of the Gorillas Berlin Headquarters, located in the historic Bötzow Brauerei—once the largest private brewery in Northern Germany—builds on the industrial heritage of the site while introducing a bold spatial language rooted in innovation and contrast.
The office unfolds within the existing structure, where exposed brick, steel columns, and vaulted ceilings remain visible and celebrated. These elements form the backbone of the interior, shaping its identity and anchoring it in place. New interventions are layered carefully, introducing axonometric patterns, unexpected geometries, and moments of playful perspective that add rhythm and visual intrigue.
A key element of the concept is the dynamic tension between privacy and openness. This is achieved through a mix of materials—transparent, tactile, reflective—and a series of room-in-room solutions, which offer zones for retreat without breaking the spatial flow. The result is a working environment that feels both expressive and grounded, open yet intentional.
