Hechingen Studio

March 7, 2019

The design company based in London, Whitaker Studio disegned a low-cost workplace for a German advertising agency in the Black Forest, just outside the town of Hechingen.

The client was keen to use shipping containers to keep costs low and needed a small office that would encourage the growth of their company.

Taking inspiration from crystal growth in a science laboratory and the soaring towers of Hechingen Castle, the studio arranged 11 containers in this radial form. The upper containers trace the sun’s path through the sky while the lower containers provide an array of quiet working spaces that all open onto the central heart of the office.
