FRAME is a new conceptual business space in the premium line of Workplace. The project, with a total area of 69,700 square meters, will be implemented in the urban quarter Republic.
The visual concept emerged from the structure of the space. The architects designed a series of portals that conditionally divided the lobby into distinct zones. These portals serve as frames for visual narratives and original compositions.
The terracotta color becomes the heart of this building, glowing from within and making a strong impression when approached from the street through the windows. The choice of this hue is not only an artistic decision but also a meaningful one: it emphasizes the connection of the new building with nearby cultural heritage sites made of red brick.
Natural stone with rich texture continues the overall hue and adds an element of natural vibrancy, authenticity, and sensuality. One would not expect emotion in the interior of a strict office tower; it is precisely this contrast that makes the design intriguing.
The solidity of the color on the first floor reveals the geometry and beauty of the space: harmonious proportions, high ceilings, portals, and rounded lines. The color is so appealing, significant in meaning, and unusual for an office environment that it becomes a defining element of the concept.
The lobby primarily serves a representational function. It creates the right impression of the resident companies in the building. Its uniqueness and memorability are important. The lobby provides a space to hold brief meetings, wait for colleagues, and enjoy a cup of coffee. It allows people to be productive and fully appreciate the moment.
BABAYANTS ARCHITECTS
The BABAYANTS ARCHITECTS team has been exploring contemporary design forms for ten years.
The studio designs and implements interior and architectural projects in a minimalist style.
For us, minimalism is not just an aesthetic direction, but a response to modern life, a necessity. It reflects our approach to the world and life, and only later influences artistic characteristics.
We live in the future, aiming to stay ahead of time with every sketch. In each project, we strive to create something new and make a discovery. We design not just spaces, but sensory experiences, inner states, and emotions.
