Four floors, more than eight thousand square metersmeters, a unique arrangement of space and original technical solutions - this is just a modest list of the advantages of the BASF office. After our excursion, you will probably want to retrain as a chemist, because the opportunity to work here is worth fighting for! The nominee of the Best Office Awards 2016 in the category "Organization of Space" - the office of the chemical concern BASF - is designed in a restrained, laconic style. The architectural bureau ABD architects set itself the task of creating not only a beautiful, but also a functional office, so a lot of attention was paid to the organization of transition zones.Thus, the network of corridors creates a singlecommunication space, where open space gives way to cozy nooks with, and individual meeting "compartments" - to halls and free recreation areas. Such a branched layout, reminiscent of a complex molecule, allows not to concentrate the entire work process in the open space, but to solve problems in any convenient format.Individual copy rooms are equipped with all necessary equipmentequipment for printing, scanning, copying and everything else that office work may require. The executives' workstations are located together with the workstations of other employees, only here and there separated by a glass partition. Maria Korneeva, ABD architects: - The project for BASF will be remembered for a long time for how the client and I managed to get on the same wavelength of the feeling of the interior that was to be created. BASF supported the unusual layout solution. This organization made it possible to avoid the linearity of the interior, created psychological comfort and helped to highlight the communication zones that organically complement the open-space. abdcom.ru If you think that the abundance of meeting rooms of various sizes can confuse employees, rest assured - Steelcase terminals allow you to book meeting rooms and display the presence of people in the room in real time.Employees can always find privacy in thiscalled retreat-room — a small soundproof room where you can talk on the phone, relax or, on the contrary, concentrate on an important task. Maximum effort was made to create a comfortable working environment — linear laser-cut suspended ceilings, supplemented with a layer of Basotect material (developed by BASF), provide excellent , and dense carpeting of the floor only enhances this effect.BASF doesn't skimp on employee comfort— Bene furniture, adjustable tabletop height, Fagerhult LED lighting — all this and much more allows you to truly enjoy the work process. Hanging oblong lamps in the open space are oriented perpendicular to the facade, which allows for minimal shading. Thanks to all the efforts of the architects and designers, the open space turned out to be truly light and airy — light furniture, panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, and bright color accents all played a role here.Due to the lack of walls and doors betweenThe functional departments of the office are zoned using design solutions such as color, lighting levels, and finishing elements. Monochrome, discreet corridors with gray walls, natural basalt floors, and carpeting are subdued by warm, diffused light, while informal work areas near the windows are filled with bright color elements and potted plants, and bright daylight further emphasizes the richness of the colors.Relaxation areas - so-called coffee points— finished with wooden acoustic wall panels, and the use of colored mosaic panels coupled with a shadow lamp allows to break the linear motif of the corridors and visually separate the area.
