CONSTRUCTOR
[ˈprädəktər ]
A fully reconstructed and renovated floor of a heritage building converted into an office space and work environment for the purposes of a law firm, located right next to the Hungarian Cultural Institute near Crystal Garden in Sofia.
CREATING OFFICE EXPRESSIONS
Adaptation, modernization and transformation of such an interior, in contrast to purely conservative actions, often interfere with the standard fabric in the construction of the building, its modification or in the last case - a new cultural layer and a complete transformation. We chose the second!
OPENS UP NEW HORIZONS
EVOLVING ENVIRONMENT
Along with the structural changes and the reconstructed distribution, it was also necessary to change all installations and systems as they are old and inefficient. This opened up the possibility of using completely new solutions to hide all heating and cooling units in neat, well constructed areas with carefully designed grilles and cover panels.
LIGHT IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT IN INTERIOR DESIGN AND THIS SYSTEM ALLOWS TO CREATE LINES, FRAMES AND PURE LIGHT ANGLES.
ENDLESS CONNECTIONS
The new equipment is designed to reflect the human passion and purpose for "invisible", as well-being is key ingredient of it. Integration of sensors has helped in the complete automation of the office and its management, both remotely and locally. Combination of energy-efficient lighting, heating, cooling, shading and their intelligent management increased comfort, "elevate" the interior design to diferent heights and, last but not least, led to a significant cost reduction.
PURITY & WHITENESS
Each new element is a visual continuation of the previous one and subtle but perceptible bond between the premises. We did everything for purity and whiteness, for the feeling of “fresh air” in the modern interior, for style and eternity. A project where we wanted to enjoy simplicity and creating harmony, working with materials and light.
“”When we are at our most creative state, we aren’t even creating, we are chanelling, we are transcribing, we are conducts for something larger than ourselves to erupt - to express itself throught us””
Unlocking the Extraordinary
An interior which is distinguished by modern solutions and natural materials, the "eternal" materials - stone, wood, glass and leather, giving the space a generous atmosphere. AXVXVIII is exactly that case when we poeticize comfort using not words but solutions and practicality.

Chaising Meaning
Sustainability lies in creating long-term value through a proactive approach to energy consumption according to the needs of the occupants at any given moment. Spaces that emphasize individuality and at the same time offer a unique environment and microclimate, ensuring a comfortable experience in every area thanks to work benches with round and large tops with adjustable height.

Transforming Life
Design is a visual art, but also a craft. Its creation and consumption are processes that require modern materials, technology and logic in order to be realized.
The mission of Interior design is to solve problems, but for this purpose it needs imagination, creativity and knowledge.

Whether we understand our world through art, religion or science, the products, their connections and combinations are the atoms shaping up interior molecule.
