About Acronis Sofia Kantoorruimte

Het kantoorgebied van Acronis Sofia strekt zich uit over 5 verdiepingen in een van de meest vooruitstrevende kantoorgebouwen in Sofia, NV Tower. Helen Koss Interiors kreeg de opdracht om een kantoorontwerp te ontwikkelen gebaseerd op de merkidentiteit van het bedrijf. De ontwikkeling van de indeling en het ontwerp werd uitgevoerd via online workshops in samenwerking met meerdere teams binnen het bedrijf die wereldwijd zijn gevestigd. Het ontwerpteam implementeerde de hoogste normen voor afwerking, beveiligingsfuncties, hygiëne en innovatie. De inspiratie voor de verlichting in recreatie- en samenwerkingsruimtes was afkomstig van de betoverende werken van James Turrell.
