And finally we saw a free space and twenty-five luxurious arched windows!” Photo Mikhail Loskutov “Metal beams and a surface lined with a profiled sheet were found behind the suspended ceiling. It was simply painted bright blue, making it the main color accent of the interior.” Geometric compositions of carpets are homage to the project authors’ works of Russian abstract artists.

The plastered walls were restored, tiles from the previous tenant were left on the floor. Thanks to the gray color, it looked neutral and did not spoil the overall picture.” Almost all the furniture is welded, it was designed by the ArchBlack bureau and made under the supervision of the office staff themselves.

In the warmer months, this area expands due to the veranda. The walls in the kitchen used to be sheathed with drywall, under which a beautiful texture of old plaster was found. We left it, painted the ceiling in graphite and added neon.” Photo Mikhail Loskutov “In general, it turned out to be a bright green space with different areas for work and recreation. Free movement around the office promotes good communication between employees, and bright color accents create a creative atmosphere.” ArchBlack Bureau, www.arch.black , @archblack Photo Mikhail Loskutov Original content from the site
