Rösler was planning a new building to solve a collaboration problem. Leadership's instinct was that the existing headquarters could no longer support the proximity and exchange their teams needed.
Before committing capital to construction, Rösler tested that instinct against data. We modelled current activity patterns, adjacency needs and space utilisation across the HQ, then ran the scenarios most real estate teams would otherwise have to guess at: office types by management level, shared-desk concepts, and different growth forecasts.
The data made the case a new building couldn't. Reorganising around real adjacency needs cut required work paths by 49% and total space by 24%, delivering the collaboration outcome leadership wanted, without construction.
“With spaciv, we made our user needs transparent and developed a data context to intelligently plan our future workplace.”
Rösler now uses spaciv on an ongoing basis, so the model updates as their organisation's needs change.
