In the heart of Munich, ServiceNow, a leader in cloud-based, AI-driven platforms, has unveiled a new office space that seamlessly integrates cutting-edge technology with innovative design. This space embodies ServiceNow\u2019s mission to make the world work better for everyone, demonstrating how the right environment can empower employees, clients, and partners in the hybrid world of work.<\/p>\n

Visitors are greeted by a space that captures Munich\u2019s natural beauty and culture. \u201cThe design includes subtle nods to Munich\u2019s identity\u2014textures inspired by historic facades, patterns drawn from local architecture, and flowing forms inspired by the Isar River,\u201d explains Laura Kummer, Partner at architectural firm Kinzo. The space reflects the serenity of the surrounding nature, accentuated by large windows that flood the space with natural light. All of these elements ground the space in its Bavarian context, adding a distinct sense of place and character.<\/p>\n

\u201cBiophilia integration, natural light, visual connection to the outside, ergonomic furniture, and choice of setting are all factors that enable people to do their best work while helping reduce stress and anxiety.\u201d<\/p>Aiofe CahillSr Manager, Global Design & Planning at ServiceNow<\/span><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n

Sustainability is a cornerstone of the Munich office\u2019s design, extending beyond nature-inspired elements. ServiceNow prioritizes reducing their carbon footprint and promoting eco-friendly practices, maximizing energy efficiency through LED lighting, smart thermostats, and efficient HVAC systems. Motion-sensor lights conserve electricity, and a workplace utilities dashboard monitors and optimizes energy use, alerting the team before consumption exceeds set thresholds.<\/p>\n

The office caters to individual and collaborative work styles, divided into \u201cme\u201d and \u201cwe\u201d spaces. \u201cMe\u201d spaces, covering 20% of the office, feature bookable workstations, focus rooms, and private offices.<\/p>\n\"\"

\u201cThe number of desks in the \u2018me\u2019 spaces is greatly reduced compared to pre-hybrid work. These spaces allow for flexibility to add desks in the future, allowing us to test while still planning, so that the spaces can work at their full capacity in different scenarios\u201d says Nivedita Meher, Workplace Planner at ServiceNow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u201d spaces make up 80% of the office, featuring conference, huddle, and project rooms; open and closed collaboration spaces; work cafes, event spaces, games rooms, wellness rooms, and customer-facing rooms. The interior uses colors to signify these different kinds of spaces: blue carpets for meeting rooms, yellow for informal collaboration areas, and dark gray for individual workspaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, our world of work for ServiceNow Munich borrows characteristics from various spaces that work for our people,\u201d says Aoife. \u201cCommunal areas resemble coffee shops – music in the background, the smell of fresh espresso, and the buzz and movement of people coming in and out. The areas for focused work borrow characteristics from a library, with nooks of comfortable seating to pull your feet up\u202finto, great lighting, and very few distractions.\u201d<\/p>\n\"\"
