The office building is surrounded by a full-grown birch forest, which served as the inspiration for our bureau when searching for an architectural style. The inversion of the natural environment was used as an artistic technique. A dark volume of the building appears against the background of smooth white birch trunks. In contrast to the lower part of the birch trunks covered with black rough bark, a light fragile facade of structural glazing was formed. The form of the building was given by its function. This is a building with a closed outer perimeter and an inner courtyard. The dynamic volume of the building is defined by the illumination of all its elements and the elements of the courtyard. The courtyard is the heart of the facility, around which office and public spaces are formed.
The facade reminds of birch charcoal structure. It is multi-layered, textured and expressive. The facade itself is an active element of interaction with the environment due to a variable cross-section with an amplitude of 600 mm. The finishing material of the facade is Rockpanel.
