Demolition - Planning - Redesign

In April 2023, the VR Bank head office in Rothenburg was shaken by a blast, completely destroying three cash machines and causing serious damage to the ground floor of the bank. A criminal incident, an act that will remain in people's minds for a long time to come, but also an opportunity for a new, contemporary redesign of the VR head office in Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

After the terrible incident, it was decided to redesign the entire ground floor. Just two weeks after the first visit by the bsk planning team, a rough concept was drawn up, which was immediately well received by those affected and the concrete planning could therefore begin quickly. The floor plan was reorganised and the concept was then partly transferred directly to the implementation planning.

The employees' former individual offices were converted into team offices, which quickly became colleagues' favourite places. The remodelling of the office has significantly improved the communication culture and communication channels, which the employees greatly appreciate. As a result, dialogue is now much more open and transparent.

The time aspect and the fact that everything had to happen in one fell swoop was the biggest challenge. Despite initial reservations, in retrospect the project was a complete success. As everything was planned and realised by the bsk Group and its partner companies from a single source, questions on the construction site could be clarified within a short phone call. As a result, something impressive was created in just 7 weeks, which is highly appreciated by customers and bank employees alike.

Furniture used: PRISMA 2 cabinets, CREW workstations and Terio Plus absorbers, meetings with electromotive KONFERENZ tables and tables from the NOMAR series, KIT bridges and ORGA PLUS wardrobes in the reception area.
