Horizone Studio has once again designed an office building for an IT company. The Polish-Belarusian company Epol Soft will have its new headquarters in Brest, Belarus.
The investment is located close to one of the main streets of Brest – Moskiewska Street, near the Brest Technical University. The office building is set to become a new landmark in the city’s landscape.
The facility comprises of two parts arranged around a publicly accessible courtyard: an upper one with office areas and a ground floor with restaurant, conference and service functions. The main, triangular office building, dominating the entire complex, has 6 above-ground floors. The IT company will occupy a part of the floors, while the remaining floors will be available for rent.
A friendly common space for future users was designed around the building.
The Epol Soft office building is designed to attract tenants and their clients.
The building’s central point is the internal courtyard, accessible from multiple directions. This green urban interior is designed to invite you to relax. The bottom floor of this office center has space for commercial premises for rent and a restaurant with an outdoor garden.
Designed by Horizone Studio pedestrian route with green islands and benches right next to it is planned to be a space for walking by residents and students of the nearby university.
The authorities of Brest have recognized the potential and city-shaping role of the building with publicly available services. As a result, they have decided to relocate the pedestrian promenade leading to the university so that it runs adjacent to the Epol Soft headquarters.
The Epol Soft office building features facades that have been designed to complement the building’s dynamic architectural form. The facades will achieve their unique look through the use of vertical “razor blades” that are two stories high and irregularly spaced around the entire building. All external joinery elements and facade finishing will be in copper colors, resulting in a modern appearance that sets a new standard for office buildings in Brest.
