For the Brno branch of SMC we renovated several closed offices, a reception and open space offices. Even though the individual rooms are located on different floors and segments of the building, we also wanted to come up with a new overall design concept that would gradually blend into the currently unresolved rooms, which we are gradually achieving. So far we have renovated about 7 rooms with an area of about 330 m2.

SMC is a Japanese company, so the basic brief from the client was that the feel of the mother country should also permeate the new spaces. We added a red circle, the symbol of the Japanese flag, to the dominant blue colour of the logo. Circles or rounded shapes appear throughout the interior. The offices are illustrated by the wood material, so typical of Japanese interiors, including the partitions of the workstations, which are visually based on Japanese walls with paper panels. We only replaced the paper with milky plexiglass and designed the entire partition to be more usable for storage, lockers, locker room, copy center, etc. On the other hand, we used paper for some of the light fixtures. In the open space office, which is divided only by high partitions up to the ceiling height, we placed a padded paneling made of striped panels on the front wall. This gradually transitions from a light blue-grey to a deep, deep blue to represent the Japanese sea. The upholstered panelling also greatly assists the room, which is used as a call centre. Wallpaper and acoustic paintings of Japanese landscapes complete the overall interior of the Asian company.

The design of the reception area was focused on design elements, which is why the reception desk is made of artificial stone, lighting fixtures from the Czech glassworks Bomma and sculptural porcelain elements from the workshop of Czech designer Daniel Piršč.

Redesign of the client's offices with a total area of 290 m2.
The project included demolition of existing structures, new plasterboard and glass partitions, adjustments to the positions of the end elements of the technical equipment of the buildings, adjustments to the raster ceiling, painting and flooring.
