Our new project is an office space for an entrepreneur who wished to manage all his business matters outside the home. Should they need his family members might use the space for their business or private meetings as well.

The key idea of the interior is business sophrosyne and functionality.

The space (total 69 sq. m) is airy and light, the effect is achieved thanks to the high ceiling (3150sm), that creates presentable appearance and working mood. The main colours in the finishing are dark and smoky thus there is no doubt that the office has a masculine character.

The wall panels are finished with wood, the floor is covered with tiled carpeting, this method allow to quickly restore only the damaged areas. Thus, the office has got traits of reliability and comfort as per the client’s wishes.
The space is zoned, with the working area for brainstorm being the main one. It houses the negotiating table with built in electric outlets, thanks to which they become fully functional working places.

The storage system, an important element for the working space, is realised in both open and closed version. A curious detail is book case columns that double as hiding-place and a wardrobe by the entrance: both are a very effective solution for a narrow buffer zone. The wardrobe is covered with fabric close in texture and colour to the wallpaper to help disguise it; that was skilfully made by local craftsmen. This cover is distinct in that it’s pleasantly tactile and presentable.
A number of functional objectives were solved alongside general design. For instance, the developer’s layout could not be changed. The partitions frames were kept as they were but they were erected not reaching the ceiling and in glass and turned out to be in tune with the correct trend.

The space has got even more light. Fitly, the bathroom door is made of transparent glass, however, the exterior pattern does not allow to look in. Considering the climate, a shower unit has been planned next to the toilet, with walls finished with facade travertine, in antique style. The stone added brutality to both the area and the whole space.
The main furniture was made by local craftsmen from the south of Russia. For example, the company MAGOFCC (Sochi) was trusted to produce certain exclusive items. They can work with radial forms and are not afraid of challenges. For this project the team made a copy of a vintage desk (a negotiating table), and an oval cabinet for documents. a console table for documents was created to the designer sketch.

Ergonomic and stylish, real leather office chairs are by LAS factory.

The customers chose high quality decorative and technical light. "Centrsvet" company implemented the technical light. Decorative lights were by Italian factories Flos and Aromas, leaders of the lighting industry. Wall lighting fixture by the brand with unique retro charm in the shape of a powder case (Dcw collection) is installed in the bathroom.

Arte wallpaper contribute to the businesslike character of the space, the other walls are covered with laminated medium density fibreboards.
The glass partitions were made by craftsmen from Tm studio (Rostov-on-Don), a studio of unique metal and glass items.
Furniture and decor
All in all, the office design is perfect for business meetings. The office has obvious working style, being low-key and rather informal at the same time.
