Mojang

Here, Tengbom’s interior architects, in close collaboration with Mojang, have created a “geek friendly” atmosphere and workplace, rather than a stereotypical “sci-fi laser” place. The not-so-tech savvy of you may be wondering, what does that mean? Well, a familiar, safe place that you can be yourself in, and that is not too rigid.

Geek friendly” atmosphere and workplace, rather than a stereotypical “sci-fi laser”.

On behalf of Microsoft, Tengbom has been involved in this mission from the very beginning and even helped Mojang to find a location. The choice fell on Münchenbryggeriet, where three floors were designed and adapted to become an optimal workplace for Mojang’s more than 140 employees. The process has been very much a collaborative process, with around 20 people from Mojang participating and making decisions.

The first impression as you enter is just ‘recognition’. Here you will find a large mosaic in the Minecraft motif, a so-called selfie wall, for fans and visitors. The room grows into a general area with bar, kitchen, games, and relaxation for guests and employees. A prominent staircase leads up to the top floor which is dominated by desks and meeting rooms. An internal staircase leads down to the middle floor with even more work stations. Here, Mojang sits in different teams and a lot of focus has been on planning the work stations so that colleagues should not disturb each other by passing through, for example.

Mojang fills their office with humor. They created playful names for the meeting rooms and designed the graphics themselves. Hidden monsters, toilet humor, and etiquette add to the fun. Their creativity shines through every detail, and we truly love working with them.
