We were invited to a great challenge: to design a modern research environment for scientific research. What is the environment in which scientists work and develop new discoveries today? We wanted architecture to become part of the research process, encouraging curiosity, focus, and creativity.

The laboratory also wants to attract young researchers, and this was an additional motivator for us architects. It was created inspiringly, even with child-like designed elements, in which airiness, light, colors, cooperation are intertwined. Such an environment allows science to be not just work, but to strengthen the experience of research and journeys into the unknown.
