The project you see is the office designed and built for our client in Riga, Latvia. It's housed at an old, Soviet time sewing factory, with authentic industrial style ceilings and columns, which was decided to keep, restore and use as an accent, reminding the place's previous life. It's an open plan office with the evident centerpiece - an in-house designed long co-working desk, constructed without visible leg base and "hanged" around two building's supporting columns. This central area is surrounded by various zones, with work-and-chill functions, combining functional furniture with unique design objects and graphic art installations. Private offices and meeting rooms within the shared space, have been constructed with wood paneling, forming cubes with glass partition walls. These glass sections open out into the communal space, allowing them the distinction of separateness without closing them off from the energy of the common experience and dynamics of the working environment.  Team members eat together behind a partition wall, overlooking the central space through a Window with Plants installation. This "window" lets light into the dining area whilst being a stand-alone piece of horticultural artistry. These green aspects literally breathe life into the kitchen. The combination of functional and conceptual developed an interior, filled with unique design pieces, customised and suited to the existing environment, answering all the functional needs and ergonomic rules
