It started with observation: thousands of meetings, hundreds of teams, and every possible work style. We learned that rooms don\u2019t have to be big; they have to be balanced. They don\u2019t need the newest gadget; they need clarity. And they don\u2019t need noise; they need intention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why the Paradeplatz rooms feel different the moment you enter them.<br>The light is softer. The materials are warmer. The lines are cleaner. The colours are calm. It\u2019s the kind of design language that doesn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And it is more than just aesthetics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s about creating the right conditions for work to&nbsp;<em>actually work<\/em>. That\u2019s 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\u2019s view in seconds, and layouts that finally take hybrid work seriously. The kind of things you only notice when they\u2019re missing, not when they\u2019re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything is designed to feel intuitive rather than technological, warm rather than corporate. Because the best meeting room is the one you don\u2019t have to think about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Naming the rooms after Swiss Icons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It started as a design detail and quickly became something deeper. A room called&nbsp;<em>The Corbusier<\/em>&nbsp;sets an expectation before the door even opens.&nbsp;<em>The Saint Phalle<\/em>&nbsp;sparks a different mindset than&nbsp;<em>The Giacometti.<\/em>&nbsp;You walk toward&nbsp;<em>The Roger<\/em>already knowing the posture of the meeting you\u2019re about to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a small narrative layer that gives every room an identity, and gives people a subtle emotional connection to the space they choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Icons also hint at how the rooms should be used: calm introspection in&nbsp;<em>The Jung<\/em>, structured thinking in&nbsp;<em>The Euler<\/em>, bold ideas in&nbsp;<em>The Piccards.<\/em><br>Storytelling becomes guidance. And it makes the whole experience more\u2026 human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our New Room Types at Paradeplatz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As work evolved, our meeting rooms evolved with it. Paradeplatz introduces entirely new room types \u2014 and new ways of thinking about what a meeting room even is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Hybrid Meeting Room \u2014 The Corbusier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A space built specifically for hybrid meetings, not retrofitted for them. The half-circle table brings every participant \u2014 in-room or remote \u2014 into the same visual field. No \u201cbad seat,\u201d no awkward angles. Just clear presence and better collaboration. Clean, structured, architectural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Quiet Room \u2014 The Rousseau<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Focus Room \u2014 The Einstein<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>But of course, you\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because some spaces don\u2019t just host meetings, they shape them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-background-color has-background has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/flexoffice.swiss\/en\/co2-en\/\" style=\"font-size:16px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n      <div id=\"block_abbd38bd4f27867032d4cd540e34e2b4\" class=\"block-cta  l-block\" >\n  \n      <div class=\"team-hero space slider-style-one\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n        \n                        \n            <div class=\"slider\"><div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"slide-img\" src=\"https:\/\/flexoffice.swiss\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZHPP_Meetingraeume-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"slide-img\" src=\"https:\/\/flexoffice.swiss\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZHPP_Meetingraeume-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"slide-img\" src=\"https:\/\/flexoffice.swiss\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZHPP_Meetingraeume-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"slide-img\" src=\"https:\/\/flexoffice.swiss\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZHPP_Meetingraeume-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\t\n    <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meeting rooms aren\u2019t what they used to be.
