Werk1 - Coliving

Coliving in the new WERK1 building

Project location: Munich, Germany
Client: WERK1.Bayern GmbH 
Square meters 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 the flexible rental concept that is lived there.

For the special furnishing concept and the advantages that the Variand system offers to residents and operators of coliving spaces, Variand was awarded in 2024 at the Coliving Awards.

The extension of WERK1 includes, in addition to coworking spaces, a two-story coliving area where young entrepreneurs can live for up to six months with government support. The studio apartments feature a living area, bathroom, kitchenette, and balcony, offering great flexibility for short-term tenants with the Variand-system. 

The furnishings of the apartments include large living walls with storage space, wardrobes, coat hooks, decorative shelves, and shelfsurfaces, integrated wall lighting, and picture railn, with desks integrated into some rooms. The kitchen wall is equipped with shelves, kitchen accessories, and in some rooms with magnetic railn.
All elements can be quickly and tool-free hung on the wall rails and the individual components of the furniture can also be easily repaired or replaced due to the modular design. Four installers at WERK1 only needed two days for the installation of the wall rails and just one day to hang the furniture – within less than a week, the 60 apartments were stylishly furnished and fully functional.

Another advantage of Variand: The modern and minimalist design language of the modules allows for a lot of flexibility for the individual wishes of the guests. Small decorative furniture can be quickly repositioned, pictures can be individually selected, and with integrated picture railn, they can be flexibly hung. Additionally, storage furniture or desks can be retrofitted in the rooms at the guests' request. 

In close collaboration with the architectural firm Heyne+Mayer and the operator team from WERK1, a comprehensive furnishing concept was developed  that allows for plenty of room for the individual preferences of the tenants.
