Communal meeting and event zones can be found on each floor and can be booked flexibly by all users. Whether agile workshops, a board meeting, pitches or networking events – the various room designs offer the perfect setting for any occasion.

Sustainability

THE SODA provides space for sustainability

YOU CAN SEE IT. YOU CAN FEEL IT. AND IT PAYS OF:

The extremely sustainable and carefully thought-out design approach for the building is reflected in all areas of life, work and business. This begins with the conscious integration of nature into the architecture and room design, followed by large windows for natural light and integrated facade planting, which not only acts as natural sunshine/glare protection, but also promotes biodiversity. All this is rounded off by the use of natural colours and materials making a positive contribution to productivity, as well as thehealth and wellbeing of its users.
