HENN
HENN ’ s design of the House of Communication for the Serviceplan Group in Munich , Germany , creates a distinctive spatial identity for the world ’ s largest owner-managed agency group for innovative communication , rooted in the company ’ s ideals of openness and collaboration . Connecting three separate buildings via bridges , the design concept brings 40 different agencies and 1,700 employees together under one roof on the iCampus , a new innovation district near Munich ’ s Ostbahnhof , developed by R & S Immobilienmanagement .

Like a city , the House of Communication includes spaces to meet , eat , and relax alongside meeting rooms and individual work areas .
