We don't really know the Eastcountries, especially in the design field. That's why it seemed interesting to highlight the design of the new offices of Vizor Interactive, by the architects of STUDIO 11who have combined brilliantly some borrowed codes from the ex-USSR to a deeply contemporary and singular universe. Welcome to Belarus!

THE BEAUTY OF CONTRADICTIONS

What we like in this project, it is the intelligence of STUDIO 11 in its own way to bring opposites together. First of all, it is to take into account that an architect is generally the Slave" of the place entrusted to him. Because a place cannot evolve in the same way whether it's a Parisian apartment, or as here, an industrial building.

But the Belarusian studio has more than one trick up its sleeve, and was able to create the right mix between some codes of the former Soviet bloc (red, green, the thoroughness of lines) and clearly contemporary elements and which make the trends today. This brilliantly found balance between black and white, cold and warm also highlights vintage influenceswith the presence of Walnut veneer and tubular structures, for example.

STUDIO 11 also brings a sort of balance between a place that one might think aseptic and the grain of madness that goes well. Somewhere between the inert material and the living, by cleverly adding some plants in a place where they would not normally have their place or a bit of lightness in this world of heavies.

STYLE, EFFECTIVENESS, DARING

STYLE. At the beginning there's the dark shade of the shadow that the Minsk studio perfectly masters, defining with confidence the outlines of this project with industrial and metallic origins. We will notice a clean style, compensated by white. These two opposites give a graphic and therefore very current aspect to these premises, especially thanks to the use of tiles that bring texture, depth, and minimalism in the art of renovating a workspace.

EFFECTIVENESS. Then here's the wood, which intelligently was dispatched between the kitchen and the open-space. As mentioned above, it is a matter of balancing the coldness of the neutrals with a living, vibrating material, which warms the heart of the occupants at a glance. Who better than wood to fullfill this role, binding the whole project?

DARING. And finally here's the red color which is without a doubt very difficult to use in interior design without making people completely crazy. But just like the shade of 2017 Greenery, fortunately, there is not a single shade in a color. The choice of Studio 11 was on a red, sometimes burgundy in the light, sometimes wine-coloured. This reminds us of the geographical location of the project without increasing the weight of history.
