Project: MTS Office
Design by: Balbek Bureau \ Slava Balbek, Andrii Berezynsky

Location: Kyiv, Ukraine
Completed in 2014
At the beginning of 2014 MTS Ukraine came to us with a request to create several functional zones of company new office including reception area, meeting rooms, chill-out zone for employees and office of company CEO.
White color dominates in reception area. This way we wanted to “clean” space from distracting objects and as such focus guests’ attention on dynamic screens of the front desk. The only exception of the “clean space” concept is the ceiling construction with embossed names of Ukrainian cities, which serves as decorative element and at the same time as a ventilation grill.
Glossy materials and stripes of LED lamps created an effect of the complex, multilevel space and stretched the room. Chill-out zone is much more colorful than other spaces.
We deliberately avoided direct usage of company logo and corporate color (straight red) in interior design, offering its broad interpretations instead. As such, we have chosen an extensive palette with all shades of red for furniture and floor coverings and painted decorative wall recalling shape of company logo. Meeting room area stands on the upper floor of the office building and has access to a terrace. It has lots of ‘air’ – room has top-to-bottom windows from two sides, space is divided with glass walls, ceiling frames and utility lines have been kept open.
CEO office has a breathtaking view over the city therefore we decided to create a space that would not conflict with it. The only visible element that attracts attention – is a wall decorated with wooden panels of different geometric shapes.
