Located in Yekaterinburg, Russia, Yandex Office holds the fifteenth floor of a new business called Palladium. The floor of the building is shaped like a horseshoe and consequently, the offices are concentrated around the vertical circulation systems located in the center. Due to the Yandez office culture, the design is not limited to traditional areas of work. The conference rooms large and small, are accompanied by a sports area, a kitchen, coffee stations, and “cells” of media cameras. All designated spaces give to the hallway, separated by partitions. The materials of wood and cork were specially chosen as the walls of thin profiles into the aisles. From the corridor low ceilings have become more visual as well.
This office interior renovations and expansions project by Sebastian Bravo is located on the top floor of a building of textile mills in the district of Patronato in Santiago,Chile. The strategy was to locate the only private premises of the office, a closed-room meeting to the center of the plant. Reception, dining room, bathroom, kitchen and a large work area are spread around. A rather limited budget forced the architects to seek solutions and materials as simple as possible. Thus the floor, walls and windows are kept as they were. The resulting design recalls the origin of the building, providing flexible configuration that fully reflects the working methods of the client, SMOG.
