About IT Factory Primærfunksjon: Interiørdesign for kontor

IT Factory er et kontorinteriør skapt i en renovert industribygning i Kharkiv, Ukraina. Kontoret dekker 4500 kvadratmeter og drives døgnet rundt, så arbeidssoner og hvilesoner er balansert. Eksisterende betongkonstruksjoner og skråstivere i metall ble bevart og brukt som aksenter i interiøret. Et rom med dobbel takhøyde i andre etasje gir flere arbeidsplasser samtidig som det holder plass til hvile. Nye ventilasjons-, oppvarmings- og klimaanleggssystemer forblir synlige som en del av interiøret. Lyse, avmålte fargeaksenter unngår ensformighet.

Unique Properties: The priority was to preserve the existing concrete structures and use them as accents of the interior space.The introduction of bright colour accents helped to avoid monotony and uniformity of spaces, as well as to visually refocus attention during the operation of the premises.

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.
