ABB Office

The ABB Office, designed by MAD Architects, represents a groundbreaking approach to modern workspace design. Located in the vibrant business district of Moscow, this new headquarters spans two floors of a contemporary business center, embodying the principles of ergonomic and efficient office space. The design aligns with ABB's global development program, which emphasizes collaboration, flexibility, and a dynamic work environment tailored to the needs of its employees.

At the heart of the upper floor is the reception area, characterized by a stunning ceiling lighting design that creates an inviting atmosphere for clients and employees alike. This area is complemented by offices designated for top management, legal advisors, financial analysts, and IT professionals. On the lower floor, a spacious open workspace is designed to foster teamwork and creativity, featuring a sleek grey carpet and bright white ceiling panels that enhance the feeling of openness while ensuring a professional setting.

The architects have meticulously crafted an array of spaces within the office to facilitate both collaborative and individual work. The vibrant design elements, including dynamic carpet tile patterns and graphite-painted open ceiling communications, serve to distinguish various functional areas. Collaboration zones, small team rooms for discussions, traditional meeting rooms, and cozy sofas provide opportunities for informal interactions. Additionally, telephone booths ensure privacy for personal calls, while fully equipped kitchens and showers on each floor add to the modern office's appeal.

Incorporating cutting-edge technology, the ABB Office features a 'smart house' system installed by the client, which automates the control of lighting and thermal regulation. This system is seamlessly connected to projectors and curtains in the meeting rooms, showcasing how technology can enhance productivity and comfort in the workplace. The strategic design choices made by MAD Architects reflect a commitment to sustainability and innovation, essential components in today's evolving work culture.

Overall, the ABB Office stands as a testament to the future of workplace design, where flexibility, technology, and aesthetics combine to create an inspiring environment. MAD Architects has successfully transformed the traditional office into a space that not only meets the functional needs of ABB but also promotes a culture of collaboration and well-being among its employees.
