In Kupferzell, GEMÜ has realized a new headquarters spanning approximately 14,000 square meters. The contemporary office building brings together key corporate functions under one roof and creates space for exchange and collaboration. As an internationally active family-owned company specializing in valve, measurement, and control systems, GEMÜ gives spatial form to its ongoing development, articulating transparency and communication through architecture.

The architecture firm Schmelzle & Partner conceived the building as an atrium structure with clearly defined levels and a sense of vertical openness. In the interior, this architectural approach is further developed by Geplan Design, Stuttgart, particularly within the central communicative areas. It shapes the spatial identity of the building throughout—from the entrance and cafeteria to informal areas for interaction and exchange. 

The building organizes workspaces, meeting rooms, and shared areas in a clearly structured sequence. Open-plan zones alternate with quieter spaces, reinforcing the building’s vertical connectivity.

On the top floor, the executive management area includes, alongside offices and conference rooms, an executive lounge conceived as a place for conversation in a relaxed setting.

Warm wood surfaces, natural materials, and a reduced palette of earth tones shape the atmosphere of the rooms. An integrated café zone with 375 upholstered bar stools provides a comfortable setting for informal conversations.
