Satellite Office secures listed Berlin building with eCLIQ access control

Challenge
“Work where others would like to work” — according to this principle, Satellite Office has been offering flexible offices and workstations in the luxury segment for 25 years. It is the pioneer for premium workspaces in the leading business cities of Germany and Switzerland, with four Satellite Offices in Berlin alone.
In addition to strict requirements for acoustics and equipment, Satellite Office locations also make no compromises when it comes to security. Due to the flexibility that Satellite Office offers its customers, the workspace specialist was looking for a locking solution that is flexible and able to work anywhere, at any time. In addition, the solution had to be suitable for use in a listed building whose historical appearance and valuable doors must not be altered or damaged.
Solution
The building at Kurfürstendamm 15 was once a luxury cinema — “Gloria Berlin” — from where Marlene Dietrich attracted global attention in “The Blue Angel”. Today, it is one of the newest Satellite Offices, located inside a historic building renovated with great attention to detail, and including a roof terrace.
To filter and monitor building access, Satellite Office deployed the eCLIQ electronic locking system from ASSA ABLOY. The durable and timeless aesthetic of eCLIQ devices combines high electronic and mechanical security. Another major positive for this heritage setting was eCLIQ’s ease of installation: Doors and components do not need to be wired. Power supply to eCLIQ electronic locks is provided by a standard battery inside every eCLIQ key. Satellite Office uses CLIQ® Local Manager to manage their eCLIQ system. Its user-friendly interface is installed locally on a PC and is therefore ideally suited to Gloria Berlin and other Satellite Offices.
The remodelled KUD15 Gloria Berlin with eCLIQ access control received the best possible sustainability certificate from DGNB, Platinum — the first time this has been awarded to a listed building.
