Green Office

State institution with modern democratic design seems so unimaginable or very far for Ukrainian ear. But changes, seemingly, began. In front of you there is a new office in one of official structures in Kiev. . In a new office of one official it is difficult to note any signs of usual official establishment. Design is absolutely democratic. But handwriting of architectural bureau RYNTOVT DESIGN is kept and you can recognize it instantly by small details, architectural minimalism and ecologically correct decisions. . . . . . But in this project plywood abounds instead of the usual for studio massif of wood. That emphasizes the functional method of approach declared by the customer. There aren’t any . plinths, but concrete floors and plaster (that already became distinctive features of studio’s objects) and a big quantity of wooden elements and greenery are used. . But the design of an office looks fresh and absolutely individually even with recognizable decorating receptions. . Among tasks of the space’s organization there was a creation of a small reception, which should be comfortable for work of two persons. On the most minimum area not only workplaces were placed, but also all office equipment was successfully hidden behind big glass with a print. The concrete pole standing in the aisle between the working room and a recreation has the both functional and esthetic features. The small hidden wardrobe for employees is placed there. There are also open wardrobe for visitors. It’s designated by simple hooks-sticks. And the general humane ideology of the project is read directly from a threshold. There are all zones have equal "rights": the same elements and materials are used in the reception and in a cabinet with a conference room and in a recreation area. You can see there the same plywood lamps with economic light-emitting diodes and cases for plants, the same chairs Arper, the same dark textiles at windows and plywood tables. Any of furniture’s groups were not divided on low and high "rank", for subordinates and guests. However thus all author's things made from plywood aren’t banal, Each of them has small but noticeable nuances which are possible only thanks to the individual approach to creation of series. For example, each desktop has an intarsia (the incrustation which is made by a wood on a wood), and there is a niche for the plants on a worktop of a long table. The niche can be hidden under a cover, so a working surface will be ideally smooth. . In general, democratic materials, bright color accents, production of furniture according to author’s sketches, all this has allowed to change completely the traditional idea of interior of official structure. So the image turned out very different from that everybody used to see in offices of officials.
