K2 Design Lab is the general contractor for a new fit-out, scheduled for completion by the end of 2025, coordinating the project from concept to implementation and guiding every phase of the process.
This new office covers an entire floor of almost one thousand square meters and is designed to support several companies working side by side. The layout is structured to provide efficiency and a human-scaled design, with one hundred and fifty workstations arranged in clusters that create a steady rhythm across the space. Meeting rooms of various sizes shape a clear functional backbone, offering places for quiet discussions, team reviews or larger sessions.
At the heart of this landscape, the lounge becomes the key element of the interior. It is placed along the main circulation axis and functions both as a laid-back setting and as an informal meeting area. The space is shaped with a calm and inviting character, defined by soft modular seating, layered volumes and a geometric carpet, encouraging employees to slow down, talk, exchange ideas or simply take distance from their desks. Terracotta accents link this area to the identity of the resident companies, all of which use red in their visual language. This shared chromatic direction brings coherence without overwhelming the design.
The chromatic direction strengthens this role. With all tenant brands using red in their identity, these tones introduce a unified visual language that integrates branding and avoids additional markers. The rest of the interior follows a warm palette, with muted tones on the ceiling and floor, wood surfaces and carefully placed color accents. Integrated lighting lines define the ceiling as an active layer, ensuring uniform illumination and guiding circulation across the floor.
Sustainability plays an important role in the project and is approached through practical, architectural decisions. On the MEP side, functional equipment was reused wherever possible and adapted to the updated requirements of the new tenants and current norms. This logic extends to the partition strategy as well. Some of the closed rooms already present on the floor were preserved and reconfigured to accommodate new functions. Glass partitions dismantled during the early phases were reused in other new-built walls, extending the lifespan of the materials and maintaining consistency across the design.
These interventions form a chain of decisions that keep the project efficient and responsible, supporting the idea that an office fit-out can integrate new functions while preserving valuable elements of the existing condition. The result is a workspace that avoids unnecessary demolition and priorities adaptability over replacement.
As the project moves toward completion at the end of 2025, the floor is already taking shape in a way that mirrors the core values of K2 Design Lab. Beyond meeting functional requirements and adapting the space to the specific needs of the tenants, the design establishes a setting shaped for long-term comfort and employee well-being. The result is a coherent and characterful workplace, carefully detailed and aligned with the way people work, interact and spend time.
