PDAD Creative Office Building

The design concept for the exterior of the refurbished office building creates a modern appearance with a restrained elegance and enhances the interior space in terms of use of natural light and flexibility of layouts for the office floors.

The architectural form and style language of the building’s exterior is reflected in the interior design. The exterior emphasises the different building volumes by the use of various light and dark materials, as well as creating transparency and relations between the interior and exterior. This concept is continued in the interior design by keeping the material and colour palette well defined to achieve the same restrained, modern elegance of the exterior appearance. The aim is to highlight the aesthetic of the spatial composition created by the contrast of light and dark surfaces. Focus is on the choice of quality materials (e.g. wall panelling, plaster, stone, glazing, etc.) rather than over-decoration. The light coloured timber elements for key areas and features add a warm and natural effect to the minimalist architecture and create a inviting, calm atmosphere.
