Offices CZECH PROMOTION Vol.2

Area 1300 m²  •  Principal architect Zuzana & Jan Kurz  • Photo Lucie Fenclová  

After 6 years, we are returning to Palác Karlín, the headquarters of the marketing agency Czech Promotion, to create another distinctive office space of over 1000 m2, which differs from the current design trends with its airiness, diverse structures and recycled materials. The layout accentuates 2 key requirements: movement and communication. The main element of the open space is a dynamic multifunctional corridor filled with round mini meeting rooms. Recycling was a key element of the project, with the aim of finding sustainable, logistically and economically accessible materials, reflecting one of the agency's most important philosophies, to design functional solutions that maximise the desired effect at the lowest possible cost.

In the interior, you will find a window constructed with wine bottles, glass walls made from the original windows of the Palác Karlín, second-hand doors, wire mesh ceilings extending over the columns, and wooden wall panelling made from old beams. The space is filled with restored antique furniture combined with modern pieces from Czech manufacturers and bespoke furniture, such as the 9-metre-long work table.

The walls of the round mini meeting rooms are covered with pillows creating suitable acoustic conditions for work. The white color is the theme unifying the raw texture of the materials, whether it is the brick walls, the fire retardant paint or the building services. Greenery grows throughout the interior and gradually overtakes the white spaces, symbolizing the dynamics of the company and natural growth.

The construction works were carried out by 4interior&tiles.

The interiors feature brands such as TON, Lucis, Oresi, Princ Parket, Barkotex, Hager, Monobrand, Egoe, Textil s citem and Maimana.
