The intention was to create a bright, minimalist space that would serve not only for work but also be an inspiring place. The original condition consisted of two separate rooms, a corridor, sanitary facilities, and a kitchen. By visiting the Archive of the City of Bratislava, we confirmed the assumption that the original layout was designed as a whole. The previous owner had bricked up the window openings, and the entrance to the space was restored to its original state, creating large glazing using steel frames. This also restored the original character and appearance of the building's facade. The current design of the space is tuned to light tones. Natural materials are used in the form of custom-made plywood units, with greenery being an inseparable aesthetic and psychological component. By integrating a light, suggestive, dividing structure, a space for a meeting room was created. The addition of a light semi-transparent curtain optically separates the room. This division does not appear cumbersome and enhances the intention to create an airy, light-feeling space. Following the meeting room, a lockable kitchen nook was created, integrated into the furniture set. Within this furniture set, a passage to the technical/sanitary facilities consisting of a restroom and a small storage room is integrated. The functional distinction of the spaces is also defined by color representation, which is diametrically different compared to the office space itself. The main working area features two dominant work islands that were custom-made according to the nature of the work. An inseparable dominant element of the space is an amorphous light fixture that disrupts the linearity of the entire space with its shape, thus balancing the minimalist decor of the interior.
