Facility
We designed this office for a travel company that plans business trips and corporate travel around the world. The premises chosen by the client are located in the Grani multifunctional complex on Bolshaya Zelenina Street.
The complex consists of two historical restored and reconstructed buildings from the XIX-XX centuries and a new modern building. This is where the future interior is located.
Planning solutions
A simple and open layout is the ideal way to fill the office with air and light. The space is very delicately zoned with glass partitions and perforated metal panels.
In the zone of managers' work there are three tables in island mode, a few chairs for visitors and a multifunctional cabinet with a shelf, in which the necessary appliances are concentrated.
Only the managers' area is separated into a separate room separated by a glass partition adjacent to the shelving unit, which creates additional soundproofing.
The area at the entrance of the office was decided to be used for rest and presentations.
Finishing
We have tried to incorporate into the interior the materials that already existed prior to our work, making use of their decorative possibilities. For example, we left the surface of the concrete façade wall untouched, and coated it with a dust-free varnish. And the expanded clay aggregate blocks, of which the partition was made, we painted them with white paint and illuminated them. The section of concrete ceiling with exposed exposed wiring was also left untouched.
The interior turned out to be monochrome and very restrained.
A soft pearl-gray color scheme is supplemented by point lamps and sconces with a graphic base in black powder coating, metal tables and carts, and black and white posters in the spirit of the Bauhaus school. Such a palette made it possible to emphasize forms and rhythms, textures and important details. And to keep the interior from being perceived as cold, we added natural oak surfaces, which can be found in the curved backs of chairs, cabinet furniture and window frames.
