The main design requirements were regarding the flexibility of the space; implementation of smart technologies for lighting, air conditioning, and humidification systems; use of environmentally friendly materials.

It was also an important task to place all zones that would create a comfortable working environment for employees. These areas includes reception, coffee point and open space, massage room, master class cabinet, call room, coworking, meeting room and terrace.
SCHEMATIC DESIGN
The entrance area is designed as an open plan space. It combines a reception area that flows into a soft seating area for both waiting and informal work. You can also use the coffee point in the open area. From the open area you can get to the massage room, master class room and soundproof call rooms. The coworking area is located separately, it has meeting rooms that are soundproofed.

This center has a terrace, which is open in warm weather and closed in winter. On the terrace there are steps that lead to the roof where you can relax or have yoga classes.
