Fun, joy, enthusiasm and engagement - these are the keywords describing the new Keyloop office in Warsaw. Creating a unique space that attracts employees to the office was the main goal for the architects from Massive Design. The idea was to create a space towards which people gravitate and enjoy. Traditional workplaces take less than 30% of the total area.

A conducive to the implementation of these assumptions was the choice of a great space on the 21st and 22nd floor of the Central Point building. It’s advantage, apart from the excellent location and views of the center of Warsaw, are mezzanines connecting both floors into one impressive space. - says Adam Choiński, Designer at Massive Design.

A key criterion of design was the introduction of elements evoking positive associations, and very often provoking a gentle smile on visitors’ faces. Relevant features include not only automotive-related details, but also, most probably, the highest located non-water slide in Poland. Going down the slide takes you from the mezzanine to the lower level, where the main entrance to the office is located.

In vain to look for a reception desk in the entrance area. The central spot is occupied by a sofa built into the body of the Polish Fiat 126p and a unique retro slot-car track. The whole space is complemented by a fantastic panorama of Warsaw, presenting the entire business district from a new perspective. Adjacent to the entrance area is a multifunctional canteen resembling a gas station. It is connected to a brainstorming room that can be separated with a foldable wall at any time. That is not the end of automotive industry references. The decoration of the conference rooms takes its aim at presenting selected icons of the Polish automotive industry: the “queen of roads” - FSM Syrena 105, Fiat 125p and the no less popular FSC Żuk.

Carefully planned and implemented greenery arrangements were also an important part of the project. As a result, there are green walls, potted plants of various sizes placed on the tops of design tables, or in special shelves, distributed evenly around the space. Concrete beams supporting the mezzanine structure were also utilized as the location for potted plants hanging over the desks.

The space for focused work was created in the form of semi-open, intimate nooks, separated from the surroundings by custom designed shelves with built in white boards, pots for greenery and functional cabinets. Both, collaboration spaces and booths for videoconferences have been located evenly among the regular workstations. Complete setup creates a coherent and effective space for daily work, both collaborative and individual.

Mateusz Parzychowski, representing Project Management from Savills, played a significant role in the project, supporting the architects' activities and overseeing the implementation of all works, including the supply of equipment, decorations and furniture as part of the Open Book service.Designing such a space gives great satisfaction. We can only say thank you Claus and Martin, for the trust and support in implementing all the crazy ideas. – summarizes Konrad Dowejko, Massive Design.
