Knirsch Motor Vehicles

A service-oriented team space.
The family-run business Martin Knirsch Kraftfahrzeuge GmbH employs two hundred staff across four sites in the region stretching from Karlsruhe to Offenburg. As a Scania dealer, Knirsch offers bespoke new and used vehicles, an extensive range of spare parts and a wide array of services. The company attaches great importance to a respectful and trusting approach, treating everyone with mutual respect and on an equal footing, both within the team and in dealings with customers. When modernising its headquarters in Karlsruhe, openness and transparency were therefore key design features.

Team-oriented offices, a meeting room and a Drivers’ Lounge are separated from the customer lobby by a glass wall. The 3.30 m high all-glass fecoplan structure connects at the top to a 1.88 m high plasterboard ceiling partition provided by the client. This was constructed without diagonal bracing. Suspended acoustic ceiling panels allow the generous ceiling height of the hall to be appreciated, whilst concealing the building services installations. The oak-effect finish of the door leaves complements the overall technical feel of the space with a natural touch, which is enhanced by numerous plants. The office partition walls, constructed as solid fecowall, are offset from the glass corridor wall and the façade by glass mullions and are structured with horizontal rails, which allow for the flexible, tool-free mounting of various organisational elements. The door units feature floor-to-ceiling door frames and glass transom windows integrated into the frames. The room for meetings, client presentations and online meetings, featuring a full-glass door, provides a visual link to the client reception area whilst offering the necessary sound insulation.

The result is a team-oriented working environment with individual touches, where competence, commitment and passion for the Scania brand can be experienced first-hand. feco system walls provide the necessary overview by combining transparency with sound insulation.
