Unfallkasse Münster – Office and Administration Building
GOLDBECK GmbH / MAAS & PARTNER Architekten mbB
For the new administrative building of the Unfallkasse Nordrhein-Westfalen – the statutory accident insurance fund for North Rhine-Westphalia – in Münster, a clearly structured office complex was created that combines the requirements of a modern public employer with contemporary work environments. The design follows a precise architectural logic that brings functionality, orientation and quality of space together in a balanced way.
The building’s form is characterized by a calm, clear facade articulation that makes the internal organization legible from the outside. Generous window areas ensure even daylighting of the work areas and create a visual connection between the interior and the surroundings. At the same time, the placement of the building volumes gives the building a clear address within the urban context.
Inside, this structure is carried through consistently. The building organizes different work areas – from open-plan offices and meeting rooms to quiet zones and spaces for communication – within a logically structured spatial arrangement. Central areas such as the foyer and lounge zones act as connecting elements and encourage exchange and orientation within the building.
Particular attention was paid to the design of contemporary work environments. Flexible office structures, clearly zoned work areas and high-quality communal spaces support different ways of working and create a functional yet pleasant working environment. The architecture thus responds to the demands of a modern administration and offers room for focused work as well as for communication.
Our architectural visualizations concentrate on the precise depiction of these functional and spatial qualities. Alongside the exterior perspectives, which show how the building is embedded in the urban setting and its architectural clarity, there was a particular focus on the interiors and how they are used.
The interior visualizations convey the organization of the work environments, the materiality and the lighting, and make the spatial relationships easy to understand. They show the different areas of use – from open-plan offices and meeting rooms to communal zones – and illustrate how they work together in day-to-day operation.
The visualizations thus serve as an important tool for communicating a project distinguished by functional precision, clear architecture and a contemporary interpretation of the administrative building. They help convey a building that meets the requirements of a public client while translating modern work environments into high-quality spaces.
