An IT company wanted to move back to the city centre from a spacious office of 800m2 in suburb, preferably to be close to their work-related partners (one of them happened to be our previous client AGE McCANN in the same “Uus Jahuladu” building designed by our office), more over to refresh the company’s image as a creative agency as well as the working environment for better team working.
Our initial task was to accommodate maximum of 35 people within 420m2, thus open office typology was chosen. The floor is divided by ‘green houses’ into two zones: client-related public zone and private zone for own people. We tried to create small scale as well, which workers can easily relate themselves to the room as well as to feel at home.

We believe traces of hand made products and untreated rough surfaces support creative atmosphere signifying “work in progress”.
IT-firma soovis oma suurest (800 m2) äärelinna kontorist tagasi kolida kesklinna, et olla kättedaadav klientidele ja kootööpartneritele (sh AGE McCANN, kellele samuti Uude Jahulattu kontori projekti tegime). Värskendust ootas ka firma imago loomingulise agentuurina, ning uut nägu töökeskkond, mis innustaks tiimitööle.
Esmaseks ülesandeks sai 35 inimese töökoha mahutamine 420m2 pinnale, millest lähtuvalt valisime suuna avatud planeeringuga kontorile. Kontori pind on eraldatud “roheliste majadega” (koosoleku ruumidega) kaheks: kliendi- ja privaattsooniks. Kujunduses panime rõhku ka pisidetailidele, et luua hubasust ja kohaspetsiifilisust. Usume, et käsitööna valminud objektid ja tahumatud materjalid kujunduses soodustavad loomingulist tööd – “work in progress”.
