Graffiti in the office – more than decorating the walls

In conditions of a changed environment and total confusion and exchange of functions of residential and office spaces, decoration plays a strong role in identifying the place with the company’s brand. The office environment is already perceived in a new way, and this could not be ignored as a factor.

“Last summer, we had the task of renovating the office of Independent Media. However, this task extended far beyond cosmetic changes and our intervention as interior specialists was key.” – says arch. Iveta Popova.

When employees have been working from home for a long time, the return to the office should be positive and bring the touch of comfort that the home provided, but at the same time create space for creativity, concentration and increase the energy charge.

“That is why we perceived our assignment as a mission of change and quality revitalization of the premises,” adds arch. Dare.

The name of the company itself also implies an expression of individuality, and the solution was to customize the space so that it declares a position.

The relationship between graffiti and office décor

Graffiti is widely perceived as a voice of protest, an expression of stable social criticism – a message that an independent media carries. We liked this as a concept to develop in the meeting room and was embraced by the client.

This contemporary visual language suits the brand very well and from art associated with the street, we transferred it to the interior as a shared expression of the company to carry its values in the image. The mural created in this way will always remind of the power of personal position and independence.

“When choosing the street art to implement in the project, we needed a deep conceptual conceiving of the drawing so that it conveys the overall vibe of the brand as a factor and complements the interior to make the project warm, welcoming and with a story that makes it mostly unique.”

We chose a distinctive pop art style with bright colors and a simple image that clearly communicates the idea. The thickened contour further emphasizes the message and we believe that the project supports the interior concept well.

 

 

 

All over the world, and more and more often in Bulgaria, we see architectural studios implementing street art and graffiti in their projects. This contemporary visual language, inherent in the urban environment, is capable of giving a cultural and artistic soul to office spaces and is a powerful tool for living in large volumes. The variety of shapes and styles is so great and can always be harmoniously woven into the bigger picture – from black and white strokes to colorful and classic graffiti, from realism to comics, everyone can find their own form that will nourish the creative thinking in the team and give a new image to the office.

THE OFFICE SPACE IN THE MODERN HOME

In the daily lives of many Bulgarians today, working from home has abruptly acquired a different meaning and it is no longer only freelance professionals who take advantage of this advantage. The fact is that many homes are not equipped with this functionality, but this is a good time to think that in the dynamics of modern society with a focus on career, having a comfortable space at home for work is a necessity.

But there are also many people with their own business, for example, for whom professional development has been among the top priorities for a long time. This naturally imposes the vision of the modern home with the presence of an office as a separate room. Well, don’t you think the era of the guest room is over? And what about transforming it into a home workspace?

The creation of a cabinet in one way or another is an expression of the search for a convenient implementation of a space for a work process in the home. If you haven’t had it before, then you probably already think that it would be incredibly comfortable to have a special room for work inspiration and creative process, right?

There are no two opinions that working in a supine position from the couch is great…, but for half an hour. And how does the interior give a solution to the messy sticky notes and the crumbling table in the dining room with all your electronic gadgets or to the hunched stand because of the low table in the living room?

We will share our experience as architects and will state that we have recently taken into account the need for the presence of office space in the home. That is why we often advise a client to create this important part of his future home due to a number of advantages. Of course, personal context is fundamental, and that is why we are going to present a very specific example of an interior completed this year.

Cozy cabinet for family business

In project RD-1 , the client’s task was to build an interior that the whole family could share for gatherings and workshops. The family business was the leading reason for the need to separate, in addition to a large open space for business meetings, also a secluded corner to focus on tasks.

Here the plot clearly told us that the creation of a cozy office is mandatory and it was not difficult to assure the owners of this correct decision. Thus, we have separated a compact space in which there is both a desk with directional lighting and a small library with a comfortable armchair for relaxation or concentration.

The choice of materials in this room corresponds to the overall line of the apartment, but is distinguished by the warm presence of wood and leather. Thus, the cabinet has become an important part that carries its own spirit and at the same time complements the home in a rational way.

What is your context and is it a functional solution to set up an office – we hope that working from home now will be a good starting point for assessing a future renovation or your new home. Our team of architects is available for consultations and preparation of a comprehensive plan for your home. [:]
