New world of work on the Rhine for Citrix

How does the office become a meeting place? When dealing with the challenges of working from home, it is important for Citrix, a service provider offering software for exactly this type of remote working, to create a home base for employees that would also enable exchange on a physical level.

This project was about space management, reducing rental space by 60% and about creating the best possible working environment covering people’s different needs.

Customer quote
Laura de Caso Basalo, Manager: “Working with Gehri & team has been a great experience. Not only they are very talented, resourceful and resolute but in addition they make you feel as part of their team. They are a creative and very professional bunch, open to listen to you as a client and advice you very adequately. It was a great collaboration!”

Employees are over the moon with the new Citrix Schaffhausen facilities. There have only been positive comments about the office and people enjoy the office space very much. Hoping we can work on more projects in the near future! Thank you for everything.”

Ornament and Project Team Citrix/Gehri without PM Oliver

With 600 m² of floor space and a terrace located on the top floor, the office has a direct view of the Rhine.
Thanks to remote working options and given that the sales team usually works outside the company, for instance, office floor space has been reduced. The 23 workstations have been augmented with meeting rooms, phone and meeting booths, a quiet room, a rest zone and informal areas that add a more leisurely atmosphere to the office landscape.

The design
What could be more natural for an elongated floor plan than to anchor a Rhine ship with the various functions in the middle of the office? This room dividing element is accessible from both sides. The materials design picks up the floor theme of the office. In terms of colour, we have sought a balance of freshness in combination with warm tones.

Our assignment
We were in close contact with the project managers to identify different usage options and the layout and interior design of the working environment. We were also responsible for applying for planning permission, for clarifying legal issues and for setting the budget. In addition, we prepared submissions to the general contractor and were then responsible for monitoring the realisation.
