The new Eurotrans headquarters began unusually — with a phone call, once construction was already underway.
The general contractor asked us to step in at a stage where the design is normally long since closed. After the first meetings it became clear this was not a cosmetic job. A functional analysis showed that the existing floor plans would not serve the company well — the layout did not match how Eurotrans actually works.
We had to go back to fundamentals and rework part of the brief from scratch, with the deadline unchanged.
Only then came the design.
The expectations were clear: a prestigious, elegant office with particular attention paid to the executive suites. This was a premium project in every sense — advanced technology, high-grade materials, carefully resolved lighting, and a great deal that the user never consciously notices.
Helena Pawlak took the project under her wing and carried the detailing through to the end: lighting, materials, AV solutions and bespoke joinery throughout. One of our favourite elements is the bar tucked discreetly behind the panelling — it only appears when it is needed.
Behind it all we left the raw exposed concrete slab — a counterpoint to the warm veneers, cream textiles and soft light.
On projects delivered at this pace, the outcome depends on how well everyone works together. We were fortunate to have a very capable team on the client’s side, alongside Conspace (general contractor) and Lobos (furniture).
