The client wished to adapt a standard office building in the area of Nový Smíchov to his needs and individualise its appearance. To dispel the boredom of long narrow corridors, we separated the offices from the shared spaces with a waved transparent traverse printed with a grid pattern, which can bear improvisation and changes simply by peeling off a square of the coating. The graphic pattern, in the red-green corporate colours, was also inscribed on the building’s facade, for the ground and top floors. At the ground level, the company logo is inscribed in negative into the grid, and stretched across the entire facade towards the busy street.
