FlexOffice Paradeplatz: Re-thinking the Meeting Room

Meeting rooms aren’t what they used to be. Over the past seven years, we at FlexOffice have seen how people actually meet, collaborate, rest, negotiate, brainstorm, and sometimes just… breathe. Paradeplatz is the result of all of that learning: a distilled version of everything that worked well, everything we improved, and everything we completely reimagined.

At FlexOffice Paradeplatz, the design work began long before materials or moodboards. It started with observation: thousands of meetings, hundreds of teams, and every possible work style. We learned that rooms don’t have to be big; they have to be balanced. They don’t need the newest gadget; they need clarity. And they don’t need noise; they need intention.

This is why the Paradeplatz rooms feel different the moment you enter them.
The light is softer. The materials are warmer. The lines are cleaner. The colours are calm. It’s the kind of design language that doesn’t try to impress you, but simply makes you feel at ease. Swiss in its understatement, urban in its confidence, and fitted to the energy of Paradeplatz itself.

And it is more than just aesthetics.

It’s about creating the right conditions for work to actually work. That’s why we introduced innovations that support the experience without shouting for attention: ceiling panels that imitate daylight in rooms without windows, QR codes that show real-time booking availability, presence sensors that clean up the schedule from abandoned bookings, hanging lamps you can slide out of the camera’s view in seconds, and layouts that finally take hybrid work seriously. The kind of things you only notice when they’re missing, not when they’re there.

Everything is designed to feel intuitive rather than technological, warm rather than corporate. Because the best meeting room is the one you don’t have to think about.

Naming the rooms after Swiss Icons

It started as a design detail and quickly became something deeper. A room called The Corbusier sets an expectation before the door even opens. The Saint Phalle sparks a different mindset than The Giacometti. You walk toward The Rogeralready knowing the posture of the meeting you’re about to have.

It’s a small narrative layer that gives every room an identity, and gives people a subtle emotional connection to the space they choose.

The Icons also hint at how the rooms should be used: calm introspection in The Jung, structured thinking in The Euler, bold ideas in The Piccards.
Storytelling becomes guidance. And it makes the whole experience more… human.

Our New Room Types at Paradeplatz

As work evolved, our meeting rooms evolved with it. Paradeplatz introduces entirely new room types — and new ways of thinking about what a meeting room even is.

The Hybrid Meeting Room — The Corbusier

A space built specifically for hybrid meetings, not retrofitted for them. The half-circle table brings every participant — in-room or remote — into the same visual field. No “bad seat,” no awkward angles. Just clear presence and better collaboration. Clean, structured, architectural.

The Quiet Room — The Rousseau

A room for stillness. For recovery. For slowing down in the middle of a hectic day. Soft light, gentle textures, and a sense of retreat. A room that supports the human side of work.

The Focus Room — The Einstein

A one-person deep-work space: dark, moody, quiet, and completely private. For calls, concentration, strategic thinking, and those moments when you simply need to close the door to everything else.

But of course, you’ll also find meeting rooms with a classic set-up, the ones we all know and need. If you want to explore the Swiss Icons, their rooms, or the Paradeplatz location as a whole, have a look at our room booking page or get in touch with us for a tour.

Because some spaces don’t just host meetings, they shape them.
