It’s contemporary office design based on paintings, sculptures, art decor, and lighting. Studio’s proud is handmade lamps that it created and produced for the interior. Like in a gallery, the bank ‘expositions’ can change. No strict bindings to the elements, but to the art itself. “We started with art and finished with art. But we didn’t think about art when we’re working. We thought about things to match a philosophy of a future place” Sergey Makhno, a founder of the contemporary Ukrainian design workshop.

Different textures and combinations allowed to create a more inspiring and comfortable work environment. In addition to this, Sergey Makhno Architects preserved the inner skeleton of the building. For example, integrated old columns in. The walls were chosen as accents from tactile pleasant whimsical 3D panels to plant-covered green walls that extend from an entrance to workstations and hid a cabinet system in the hall.
