The Design

About IT Factory Diseño de interiores de oficina

IT Factory es un interior de oficina creado en un edificio industrial rehabilitado en Járkov, Ucrania. La oficina abarca 4500 metros cuadrados y funciona a todas horas, por lo que las zonas de trabajo y las zonas de descanso están equilibradas. Las estructuras de hormigón existentes y las riostras metálicas en ángulo se conservaron y se emplearon como acentos del interior. Un espacio de doble altura en la segunda planta añade puestos de trabajo sin renunciar al espacio para el descanso. Los nuevos sistemas de ventilación, calefacción y aire acondicionado permanecen a la vista como parte del interior. Los acentos de color vivos y comedidos evitan la monotonía.

Production Technology: Renovation of any old premises, as a rule, involves significant alterations of the engineering part. And this is one of the most difficult parts of the entire construction process. It is known that objects built during the Soviet era do not have modern ventilation, air conditioning and heating systems. Thus, the new engineering networks have become an additional element of the space.
Design Challenge: The most challenging in this project was deciding which construction to leave as it is, restorate or demolish. It was a priority to preserve the existing structures so that they could be used in the interior - for example, metal knee brace. But still some constructions required complete restoration - the walls of the second and third floors were built again. Using engineering systems and constructions allowed to create office identity and turn obstacles to advantage.
Inspiration: The main interest and inspiration for the studio is the very essence of the renovation project - the restoration of an empty space of an industrial building and the embodiment of a new life in it through the introduction of new functions.
Project Duration: Project started in September 2020 and finished January 2021, in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
Operation Flow: The main factor for the formation of space is office working hours - it is open 24/7. Such an environment has to be comfortable, thus the balance of functional zones becomes as important as it’s set. To create in open space enough working places but save room for resting zones double-height space on the second floor was developed. Choosing a colour scheme the decision was to introduce bright but carefully measured accents, which don't take all the attention.
