Coliving in the new Werk1 building
Project Location: Munich, Germany
Client: WERK1.Bayern GmbH
Square wall rail: > 650 m
Scope: Furnishing for 60 Coliving Apartments
In the new building of the Munich coworking space WERK1, a furnishing concept for 60 coliving apartments was implemented on two floors using the Variand system, reflecting the dynamic startup spirit and flexible rental concept lived there.
For the special furnishing concept and the advantages that the Variand system offers for residents and operators of coliving spaces, Variand was awarded at the Coliving Awards in 2024.
The extension of WERK1 includes, in addition to the coworking spaces, a two-story coliving area where young entrepreneurs can live with state support for up to six months. The studio apartments have a living area, bathroom, kitchenette, and balcony and offer a lot of flexibility for short-term tenants with the Variand system.
The equipment of the apartments includes large living walls with storage space, wardrobes, coat hooks, decorative shelves and shelf areas, integrated wall lighting and picture rails, in some rooms desks are also integrated. The kitchen wall is equipped with shelves, kitchen accessories and in some rooms with magnetic rails.
All elements can be quickly and easily hung on the wall rails without tools and even the individual components of the furniture can be easily repaired or replaced thanks to the modular design. Thus, it took four installers at WERK1 only two days to install the wall rails and just one day to hang the furniture - in less than a week, the 60 apartments were stylishly furnished and fully functional.
Another advantage of Variand: The modern and reduced design language of the modules leaves a lot of room for the individual wishes of the guests. Small decorative furniture can be quickly repositioned, pictures individually selected and flexibly hung with integrated picture rails, and storage furniture or desks can be retrofitted in the rooms at the guests' request.
In close cooperation with the architectural firm Heyne+Mayer and the operator team from WERK1, a rounded furnishing concept with a lot of room for the individual preferences of the tenants was created.
