We had the pleasure of supporting KAYAK, part of Booking Holdings, in the design of the new working environment in the lively city centre on Claridenstrasse. From the pre-project phase through to commissioning, we supported the project in accordance with SIA 31-53, always ensuring consistent quality. Our close collaboration with the client was particularly valuable: In intensive workshops, sampling and VR sessions (with 3D glasses), we worked together to determine the team's needs and develop customised solutions.

KAYAK didn't just want to create an office, but a place where the team would feel at home and be able to work together productively. The new workplace should offer space to live the unique identity of this innovative tech company and combine its high level of expertise in technology with a passion for beautiful travel destinations. It was particularly important to create plenty of space for the "we-feeling" and the team.

Coming together in this place has been made possible in many different ways: whether through joint work, social events or even joint cooking activities - there are numerous spaces that bring the team together. Space has also been created for events to further strengthen the community. At the same time, it was recognised that teams often need to come together digitally, as members are often scattered around the world. Therefore, modern communication solutions were integrated to seamlessly support virtual collaboration.

Another highlight was our use of modern technology: thanks to weekly 3D scans of the construction progress, we were able to provide the parent company in the USA with regular insights and ensure that everything was running smoothly.

The result? A modern, functional and aesthetically pleasing working environment that is perfectly tailored to the client's requirements and realises the vision of a special workplace in Zurich. We would like to express our sincere thanks for the relaxed and inspiring collaboration and wish the entire team lots of fun in the new office!
