This office is the embodiment of such enthusiasm, coupled with economic rationality

“We believe it’s necessary to do something that is beyond what is just suitable. So we are creating something like a large box, and doing what we can to fit within it,” said the company. This office is the embodiment of such enthusiasm, coupled with economic rationality.

Our main focus during the design process was to make sure the composition was not monotonous. We placed the square-shaped counter in the center of the lounge area and used height differences in the conference room’s floor level to emphasize depth.
Another feature is how we dared to deviate from straight-line lighting and use slightly skewed angles. This tilted lighting makes the office space look and feels even more dynamic. For the distinctive café counter, we used a combination of mixed materials such as brass pipes on marble-style tiles, fluorescent lights, and neon signs.
At first glance, the lounge area looks like a rather luxurious space that should be used as such. However, we designed it to be a multifunctional area that can be used as a reception and café, as well as for meetings, events, and other purposes. We have made maximum use of the limited space so that it can also be used for company briefings and other recruitment activities.
