Project: Masaryčka
Award: Workspace Interiors - Communal Areas, 2024
Location: Prague, Czech Republic
Design practice: Barrisol, Normalu, Zaha Hadid Architects
Client: CS Lyon Praha spol. s.r.o
Intended to serve as a communal space within a co-working building, the Masaryčka lobby in Prague, Czech Republic, has been carefully designed to encourage interaction and collaboration between the people who work there, as well as promote well-being among its users.
Special relaxation areas have been created to encourage informal interaction and collaboration, enhancing the overall user experience.
Prioritising sustainability and innovation, the project creatively uses state of the art Barrisol materials to form complex shapes and unique patterns on the ceiling and walls, giving the lobby a distinctive visual identity that turns it into a visual landmark within the building. The lobby design combines aesthetics, functionality, sustainability, and innovation to create an inspiring and enjoyable communal space.
Design highlights
The project uses recyclable Barrisol stretch ceilings to create optimal acoustics by reducing background noise, promoting a serene and productive working environment. Additionally, the use of RGB LEDs in the Barrisol Lumière Color® solution allows for varying lighting ambiances, enhancing the visual experience and contributing to energy savings.
