Design that demonstrates attitude<\/h2>
For the communal areas, Kinzo relies on materials that say more than a thousand mood boards: terrazzo, wood, textured exposed concrete, plus wine-red accents that make an unobtrusive statement. The rooms remain neutral enough for any industry, but characterful enough to avoid falling into the \u201ccorporate beige\u201d trap.\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n

Ina Nikolova: \u201cAn attractive office requires a combination of functionality, modern furnishings, and an inspiring working environment.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It sounds straightforward – but in reality, it is the secret recipe behind this elegant, subtile confident design.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

\n Lobbies are more than just decorative reception areas: a flexible design language that creates identity without excluding specific industries or target groups offers the opportunity to provide services for a diverse tenant structure. \n <\/div>\n \n

Luca Marinelli: \u201cWe developed a design element for each function that acts as a catalyst\u2014from the reception desk to the seating area.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In other words, every area has a purpose. And an attitude.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

Sustainability for taking a deep breath<\/h2>
SELLER 17 meets LEED Platinum and WiredScore Gold standards and is aiming for WELL- Certification \u2013 this is not greenwashing, but a clear commitment. Green roof terraces, courtyard gardens, bicycle parking spaces, electric charging stations: here, sustainability is not treated as a trend, but as a fundamental principle. The spaces are designed to remain efficient in the long term \u2013 energetically, socially, and functionally.\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

A process culture that actually makes a difference<\/strong>
\nThe project was planned using a weekly LEAN management cycle. This meant less friction, more transparency, and faster responses. And yes, sometimes honest discussions about what really works. The result? Transparent communication and quick decisions made the planning process efficient and flexible. A best practice example of modern collaboration between client and architectural firm.\n<\/div>\n \n
