The customer of the project was the leader of financial indicators - Privatbank. We were tasked with creating a design project for a premium class department in a new style without reference to the existing corporate style. At the same time, it was necessary to invest in a fixed budget and a short deadline for the development of interior design.
Initially, it was a small room in the Shell & Core state on the first floor of the IQ business center, with almost no natural light and with a lot of transit engineering communications.
We put the design of the bank's project as the basis for creating the most extensive and very bright space of the client area, at the same time strict and comfortable. To achieve this, we used all available means - from planning and design to technical.
The customer has come with a ready-made layout. It was technologically correct, took into account all the features of the processes occurring in the department, but did not imply an extensive client area. Since the customer did not limit us in creative searches and was open to offers, we developed an alternative layout. By combining the managers area with the waiting area, ZIKZAK architects managed to double the size of the client area and form a fairly vast space in which to have a good time. All other rooms were placed in a recess along the outer walls, which allowed to give the central space the most regular shape and representative appearance.
The meeting rooms are located behind all-glass partitions with curtains, which allow you to separate the room not only visually, but also acoustically: the dense fabric absorbs sound and enhances the soundproofing properties of the partition. In the interior of the bank, we used luxurious burgundy-colored inserts on a strict monochrome background. Although the color is not corporate, the customer agreed to use it in order to emphasize the high status of the premises. At the same time, it is impossible not to note the complete absence of the usual corporate green. It was a difficult decision, but it also takes the branch out of the general row and emphasizes its latest format.
The customer was ready for radical changes, which allowed to rethink the logo over the waiting area. We made the image more concise, using a modern thin font and metallic surfaces.
No less important for us was the lighting solution. We compensated for the lack of natural lighting with a structure of vertical and horizontal light tubes assembled in several cloud groups. As a result, ZIKZAK architectural studio managed to achieve a comfortable level of warm lighting.
