Unique Properties: The project demonstrates a balance between commercial functionality office and public spaces recreational areas, pedestrian accessibility. The atrium became the main wow-effect and the center of everything – not only the interior space, but also the shaping. The dynamic structure with protruding glass volumes creates a visual lightness and a modern image, emphasizing the connection between the interior and exterior spaces. The main purpose of an atrium is to provide a place for relaxation, and the best way to relax is to change activities or at least the environment.
Dimensions & Packaging: The site covers an area of 4,340 square meters, with a total building area of 7,790 square meters (6,540 square meters above ground and 1,250 square meters underground). The building has a height of 40 meters, with 5 floors above ground and some areas reaching 6 floors
Tags: Urban Catalyst, Office, Urban Renewal, Green Spaces, Community
Production Technology: The building consists of six floors, with retail spaces and cafes on the ground floor. The typical floors 2 to 5 are dedicated to offices. The structural grid allows for a flexible layout system that can be easily adapted to meet any needs and can be modified based on the residents' requirements. The building features open green terraces on various floors, providing a comfortable working environment.
The modular facade geometry with panoramic windows and light-colored concrete panels maximizes natural light while reducing energy consumption by up to 40%.
Design Challenge: The primary challenge was balancing commercial functions with public accessibility..
Research: With all the general rationality and restraint of decisions, it was possible to create an architecture that was not boring at all, with a creative, stimulating atmosphere and an abundance of light. For the success of the project, it was important to achieve durability, elegance and a surreal spatial effect.
Inspiration: Lumen Cube is not merely a structure-it is a light-responsive urban catalyst, where architecture becomes a medium for dialogue between people, nature, and the city. Lumen Cube reimagines the urban office typology through the interplay of light, geometry, and human-centric design. At its core, the project is a modular concrete-and-glass composition where translucent volumes emit a soft, energy-efficient luminescence at night-transforming the building into a beacon of transparency and innovation. The name Lumen Cube reflects this duality-Lumen symbolizes enlightenment, openness, and the flow of ideas, while Cube embodies the structural clarity and urban presence of its geometric massing.
Project Duration: Design period 2023-2025
Location: Belarus, Hrodna
Operation Flow: he project combines advanced architectural solutions, environmental innovations, and social responsibility, creating a space that not only meets business needs but also improves the quality of life in the city.
The urban planning significance of this point is reflected in the design of the new building's corner, which features a broken "cubistic" line. The sculptural nature of the corner is enhanced by glass consoles arranged in a cubic composition. The corner of the building features a recessed entrance, which extends the street square and "lures" passersby inside. The pattern of the concrete tiles unobtrusively "directs" the flow of people in the right direction. The atrium's full-glass construction creates a dynamic interior space and allows sunlight to enter the building, creating a connection between the inside and outside. In the evening, the building is illuminated, becoming a visual and color focal point.
