“Energy runs freely, is captured, solidifies in a clearly directed form”.

Due to the very confined building ground, we were looking for a form that could expand and move. The cylindrical geometric office floors have evolved from the free form.

It is like after an acceleration process, after which the object/thought glides back into harmony. In order to highlight the relationship between the two forms, the idea of the spindle was created, which permeates the entire building. The funnel-shaped spindle also grants the optimal light penetration. In order to work with all the elements, we also wanted to make it possible to experience the element of water, which manifests itself in the form of a water basin in the spindle. The space above the basin serves art installations.

Just as the design evolved from the idea of the company’s most primal element, “energy,” so too did the color scheme evolve from the material.

The first floor is made of profilite glass, and by itself has a slight green tint. We have taken up this green again in the building. To set a counterpoint, all flexible furniture is chosen in the spectral color orange, which also gives the necessary warmth in the color design.

The building itself transforms its appearance between day and night.

Through the satin glass slats, the effect of light penetration is reversed, and the building shines from the inside.
