The layout was predetermined<\/h2>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Architects Roman Vrti\u0161ka and Vladim\u00edr \u017d\u00e1k<\/strong><\/a> had their hands partially tied while working\u2009\u2014\u2009the basic layout of the building was fixed before their involvement in the project and they could not change it. Apart from this initial handicap, however, they had absolute freedom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

 \u201cWe could design at least partial layout modifications, which in practice meant the demolition of some partitions and walling in passages, and especially cutting a large circular opening into the reinforced concrete wall in the middle of the showroom,<\/em>\u201d describes Roman Vrti\u0161ka.

\u201cOur goal was to open the space upstairs as much as possible. Part of the showroom is a training room that can be partitioned with a mobile acoustic curtain to create two meeting rooms. The flexibility of the space is also underlined by the atypical lay-out of tables which allows the creation of any combination. The rooms thus serve for meeting people, not just for presenting products or giving lectures,\u201d<\/em> adds Vrti\u0161ka.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

The most distinct element of the interior is the lining with slats<\/h2>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

The most distinct element of the interior is created by aluminium strips<\/strong>\u2009\u2014\u2009slats, from which we in NEVA produce external blinds<\/a>. In this case, we exceptionally did not pass the strips to our rolling machines, but used them for lining the ceilings and some walls<\/strong>. Virtually wrapped with aluminium is a central reinforced concrete wall, from which the strips are routed all over the ceiling of the showroom and meeting rooms.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

Several kilometres of aluminium strips were used to form the original look of the entire interior. This novel solution brought with it several challenges, for example, we had to solve the installation of the ceiling so that the strips could be spread<\/strong> to retain access to utilities or air conditioning.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

In addition to the slats, the interior is refined with the use of other quality materials: solid wood, concrete or cast cement floors<\/strong>. The interior is dominated by corporate blue and accessories in brick colour, the rest is intentionally neutral\u2009\u2014\u2009white, grey or black\u2009\u2014\u2009to avoid unnecessary distraction.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\u201cThe use of aluminium strips in the interior is not just for effect. The aim was to project the soul of NEVA into the interior. Therefore, aluminium was used, therefore the colour scheme was selected, therefore quality materials were used,\u201d <\/em>adds Vrti\u0161ka.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
