The Glade Office Campus is an unrealised competition-winning design for an 18,000-square-metre workplace development in Marousi, Athens. Developed by Urban Soul Project in collaboration with UNS for Prodea Investments, the project was selected as the winning proposal in the architectural competition. The design was not subsequently taken forward to construction and is presented here as an unbuilt architectural concept. Caption Caption The project explored a workplace model in which architecture and landscape were conceived as a continuous environment. Its design was organised around three related ideas: Forest, Glade and Foliage. Caption The Forest formed a planted perimeter around the campus, creating a transition from the... More

Designed for HT Media Ltd., one of India's premier media organisations, this project reimagines the traditional office as a collaboration-cum-coworking hub built entirely around Activity-Based Working (ABW). Rather than assigning fixed desks to fixed tasks, the design offers a spectrum of settings — focused workstation bays, high-table zones for quick huddles, soft lounge seating for informal conversations, enclosed meeting rooms, and a café counter that doubles as a social anchor — allowing teams to choose the setting that matches the task at hand.

The Food and Agriculture Organization office in Phnom Penh is a contemporary extension to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries compound. Carefully planned to sit within its context rather than stand apart from it, the two-story concrete structure responds to the familiar gabled rooflines of the surrounding government buildings through a double-sided gabled roof and a continuous shaded walkway. Bruce Vincentiis The building is organized around a simple concrete volume where the shaded perimeter walkway forms a protective layer between the exterior compound and the interior workspaces. This walkway supports light, views, and cross-ventilation along the facades. Enclosed offices, meeting rooms, and support spaces are grou... More

The Redstone development company has opened the doors to its new headquarters at a prestigious address in the historic center of Prague. The boutique interior, designed and executed by architects from the arkhe studio, offers an innovative blend of corporate identity and a modern office concept with unique design elements across a total area of 740 m². Ján Martin Púčik Ján Martin Púčik The company approached the architects with a vision of elegant, prestigious spaces that would provide employees with sufficient quiet for focused work. A classic open-plan layout did not suit these needs; however, due to the low clear height, dividing the spaces with partitions was not advisable. The architects ther... More

The office interior was designed around a functional layout approved and appreciated by the client, organizing approximately 1,400 sqm into multiple open-plan working areas. Workstations are positioned to create a secondary perimeter circulation path along the façade, allowing natural light to reach the majority of workspaces while offering views of the surrounding greenery. Informal work areas and soft seating are located along this path, supporting collaboration, flexibility, and moments of relaxation.

Urban Living Solutions required a headquarters that could reflect its working culture, support a team's daily rhythm, and adapt as the business evolved. The 275 square meter workplace, located within Rose Apple Square in central Siem Reap, answers that brief with a straightforward material language, a modular design logic, and a spatial layout that balances focus with collaboration. Rose Apple Square is a mixed-use destination combining residences, retail, co-working, and cultural facilities. Positioning the headquarters within this environment places the office at the intersection of community and commerce in a city that is rapidly developing its commercial real estate sector.  Robert Kleiner A plan built around flow T...

Person Inmobiliaria contacted us with a clear premise: to design a space that was nothing like typical real estate offices. In addition, they proposed a layout with a high density of simultaneous workers on the ground floor and meeting rooms on the upper floor. Sebastian Erras Sebastian Erras Due to the nature of their work, real estate agents are not always at their desks in this office, but rather visiting properties. This allowed us to think outside the box when designing custom work tables that adapt to the layout of the space and maximize its capacity. These desks therefore fulfill not only a functional role but also a decorative one, giving the space its own identity with their sharp angles and irregular legs.  Seba... More
