Relaxound by Bruzkus Greenberg

The colorful and flexible workplace for Relaxound offers employees a choice of the spaces where they want to do their work – as well as giving them a strong sense of unified purpose – feeling good about being part of a team. The design is based on social contact – collaborating in real time and space – but also refuge from social contact – for concentrating or withdrawing to do focused work.

The office for Relaxound makes a strong argument for the importance of physical office space to a company’s collective culture. In order to create a sense of shared identity, a new mezzanine was introduced perpendicular to an existing one, to together overlook a double-height studio space. In the areas with lower ceilings, very small rooms with sliding doors create spaces for employees to work alone or in small groups, with acoustical privacy. All building materials are used in a way to make one aware of the nature of the materials used. These small rooms are designed for acoustical control. Color and light are used to create spaces of different qualities. The design intends to be coherent but varied: the idea is to have real, atmospheric choices.
