The office concept is inspired by the image of a Soviet-era industrial building, utilizing architectural features to create a modern space with geometric shapes and volumes in the 'Sovmod' style.
The color palette evokes emotions reminiscent of a Soviet sanatorium, while the public dining area captures the ambiance of an outdoor café.
The workplace design focuses on alleviating stress from heavy production conditions, fostering a relaxing atmosphere.
The identity of the office is expressed through the visual and tactile properties of metal, with metal details creating rhythm and meaning within the space. The interior appears pristine white in daylight and takes on subtle bluish tones on cloudy days.
Translucent perforations, partitions, and exposed utilities fill the space with air and light, softening the geometry of the narrow and elongated corridors.
