Article source: Studio Perspektiv FUNTASTY, a mobile app development company from Brno, Czech Republic, has just made itself at home in a unique conversion of a former parking garage. The new work environment serving forty-two developers, coders and designers was brought to life by Studio Perspektiv. Dozens of cars cruising the garage every day have given way to a full-fledged office without compromises. By completion of this generously equipped office a much larger company could brag about, FUNTASTY achieved the necessary freedom, flexibility and opportunity to throw social events and gatherings in a spacious social zone richly supported by the community kitchen overlooking Kounicova Street.

After the cars left, a vast, empty space remained. A space to be filled carefully, not just sliced and divided into ordinary cubicles. Semi-transparent meeting rooms appeared, separating individual work nests, yet keeping the space continuous and flowing. The abandoned layout was transformed into a walkthrough experience full of community areas, spots dedicated to cooperation and creativity, lounge zones and remote islands for calm, focused work.

There is one, beating right in the middle of FUNTASTY office. Finely crafted “bookcase” showcasing various mobile devices is where all the apps are put to trial by fire. Thanks to its complexity, it looks neat and simple. With the use of seemingly contradicting technological approaches, materials and colors a fragile and cultivated dialogue of contrasts is apparent all around. Only due to unique combination of cool and warm shades in particular ratios used along with layering transparent and translucent constructions it has been possible to attain a captivating illusion of depth and distant views.

Like when it’s necessary to define spaces for individual work and cooperation, or when it’s essential to connect people together. The naked and exposed technological ceiling seems as it has just covered itself with a white veil. And its pipes and ducts buzz and hum quietly in the background…  Image Courtesy © Jakub Skokan and Martin Tůma / BoysPlayNice  Image Courtesy © Jakub Skokan and Martin Tůma / BoysPlayNice Almost every piece of furniture was crafted and created bespoke, as it was a challenge to fulfill the high aesthetical and functional requirements of the client. Desks were designed in cooperation with Master & Master, contemporary Czech furniture manufacturers. Czech design is also present in a form of Whistle lights by Brokis, illuminating the hot desk space in the central area. Creative and funny illustrations by Karolína Stryková brighten the atmosphere, reminding employees and visitors of the company’s history and vision.
