Head office of one of the biggest Ukrainian retail companies

Office interior for one of the biggest Ukrainian retail companies. The project area is 3000 m2. The main task was to provide sunlight and insolation in spaces with ceiling 5.6m height. The additional task was to create space, where people can work with pleasure and have some rest. It was decided to create ылнlightы and glass partitions in order to create second levels and maximize area utilization. This was crucial in spaces where сompactness were more important then flatness. Relax and activity zones were designed for workers’ rest and productivity.

The main concept of the planing is in combinatorial location of almost 50 departments on plane, considering connections among them, and transitional and resting area, where every transit can be a place for communication and coffee breaks

Almost 120 m2 on the ground floor are reception and waiting zones. They are used as a transit to the first flour

Reception is closely connected to waiting zone with couches

One of the tasks was to create decorations on the wall with natural motives. Thus was embodied in trees on the columns that protect from the over insolation in summer and make the height of the floor more proportional to human dimensions

Trees on the columns are a perfect example of avoiding the stage of creating of working drawings, when model is presented on pages and then sent directly to mchine to be printed using CAD technologies

In the case of 2 levels the branches of the tress are placed exactly in the interlayer ceiling

Marketing department gets the most motley colour solution, which is the most creative of all

Marketologists get not only 3-D tree-columns but also a pattern which was generated by formalised rules of flora

The director’s office get’s the most streamlined geometry. The first table is for writing, the second is for meetings

The meting table is connected with the main lightning device of the room which is  lightning strip, that is raised like a spiral to the high ceiling

In the cantine/food corte zone co-workers can see the molecular structure of the food/drinks that they eat. For example: caffeine and vitamin B12

Active zone consists of several meeting rooms with module tables, that can be transformed in different configurations: circle, string, wave, if it is needed

Projector for office meetings for 300 persons installed on the one side of active zone

On the other side installed mini golf, mini football and other entertainments

Partitions can protect not only visually but also from the noise on the level up to 40 dB

Active zone has two levels and is connected to the transition zone

Open space without partitions

Here person can work apart from his department

In relax zone you can see artificial waterfall and comfort places to sit and lay

The main idea of relax zone could be described in the words from the song that doesn’t exist: «where there is no Wi-Fi, where there in no cell connection»

Trees’ brunches light the entertaining zone

The windows inside director’s office were on the mark 2400 mm (total 5000 mm). So, it was decided to raise office on the mark 2400 mm and to make windows from floor to ceiling and to make warehose space under office

Under the director’s office there is a little local zone for waiting with running info line with economic indicators of company and other info

In the wide corridor there are modules for communication, telephone talks and lonely work

Big meeting room can also be used as a place for sitting on the stairs

Inside both bathrooms there are big cactus

Long washbasins and urinals located closely not only to cactus but also to info about them, so people could learn something new

Long lightning devices droops from the ceiling on the distance, so they can lightning only the main zones, living the rest of the room inside semi-darkness

The main interest of relax zone are the celings for loneliness

Other attractor is five-meter aquarium

The theme of water is the main theme for relax zone. Big construction of the drop is drooping under the point of the main sagging of rope attraction
