TAX CONSULTANCY
IN LIPPSTADT
The perfect fall of the folds: in order to be able to sub-
divide the desired open room structures in the two-sto-
rey extension of the Deimel tax office, the Rinsdorf Strö-
cker architects’ office in Lippstadt opted for attractive
textile room dividers. With their uniform wave pattern,
semi-transparent curtains allow the office space to be
used flexibly without compromising on openness.
W hat will the working models of a tax consultancy look like in the
future, and what do trainees and young employees want when
it comes to the design of the office premises where they spend a major
part of their days? Deimel Steuerberatungsgesellschaft in Lippstadt
explored these questions in a workshop that was organized together
with the commissioned local architectural firm Rinsdorf Ströcker, the-
reby laying the foundation for their new office concept – and one thing
quickly became clear: The younger generation no longer wants to sit in
small cubicle offices, isolated from their colleagues. They want open (or
more open, as the case might be) room structures that promote com-
munication but, at the same time, offer the possibility of temporarily
retreating for meetings. In addition, the principle of desk sharing should
successfully contribute to greater flexibility in the workplace. The floor
plans of the ground floor and upper floor in the extension to the tax
consultancy are identical in layout to the open spaces and stand out
clearly from the existing building with its smaller-scale room structure.
Particularly eye-catching are the textile room dividers, which come in
two different colour variations: one in a fresh-looking yellow shade, the
other in blue with a subtle colour gradient. Similar to the room dividers,
wave-shaped textile elements are draped from the ceiling to improve
room acoustics – as do the acoustic absorbers on the walls and the half-
height elements between the tables. Robust carpet tiles were chosen as
the floor covering, picking up on the yellow and blue colour scheme.
The ceiling, on the other hand, is kept in simple white with a fine woo-
den slat structure, into which linear lighting elements are cleverly inte-
grated as basic lighting. In order to offer its (young) employees a fully
attractive working environment, the tax consultancy does not limit itself
to attractively designed office premises, but goes even one important
step further: it is also planning to set up its own day-care centre, which
will certainly make it even easier for some people to decide to start their
career at Deimel. It is no coincidence that the law firm calls itself Die
Einfachermacher, translating as the simplifiers.
