Structural Beauty
Structural Beauty is an office interior designed for daily work and client reception. The design emphasises the influence of the spatial structure itself on people, and seeks a relaxed and natural comfort through calm and restraint. Simple and smooth lines appear carefully cut. The colour scheme combines clear white with firm grey. Terrazzo, panDOMO, gypsum board, wood and paint form almost all of the surfaces. A raised platform to the north divides the space and opens the views outwards. Natural light from north and south meets in the centre of the hall.

Structural Beauty Office won the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design competition that rewards superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
