The concept: an “office of the future” for the Gazprom Neft Vice Presidents. Located in supertall skyscraper the Lakhta Center, the headquarters are based on the latest research into personalized office design. Each VP’s office includes an entrance area with two workspaces for assistants, a coffee-making room, and an executive area with three sub-zones – a roundtable for formal negotiations, an informal discussion area with sofas and a coffee table, and a work/dialogue area at the desk. Aesthetic choices emphasize the richness of Russia’s nature: Siberian cedar panels, malachite detailing and Ural stone. These age-old materials meet contemporary design in artistic data visualizations presenting key information about the company.
