The planning concept of the back office retained the approach already tested in the previous project: placing block-forms containing meeting rooms, cloakrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and other functions deep within the floorplate, while workstations are arranged along the daylit perimeter. What was new was the emphasis on navigation. Each floor was assigned its own colour, used primarily in the central zone that provides horizontal circulation. Pure blue, red, yellow, green and orange articulate the contrast between the space of movement and the surrounding working environment.

Where in the previous project the central “path” wound between kitchen and meeting-room blocks, here it was decided to “pierce” and “cut through” them. As a result, instead of a flowing space, the architects created a clustered one, in which it is no longer possible to get lost by accidentally walking in circles. At the same time, the open lounges are clearly articulated.

The theme of multifunctional columns growing through the floor slabs also disappeared. These blocks remain stacked one above another, but now each operates within its own space: they are large interior objects with highly varied “skins”, ranging from concrete imitation to channel glass with decorative paper inserted inside, creating the effect of a frost-covered surface. There are eight types in total. As a result, any employee can now arrange a meeting with a colleague by describing the floor through its colour, and the kitchen or meeting room through the distinctive character of its finish.
