The wide double-sided library creates a circulation
trail which penetrates deep into the space. It is
possible to walk through it, around it, and beyond
it. From one side of the library is an open space
which holds the services wing of the office, and on
the other side, a corridor is created, where along
it the offices of the lawyer and meeting rooms are
spread.
The library, which on it's "office" side
is made of cherry wood, is divided into equal cells.
In the center of each cell there is fixed partitioning,
which is reminiscent of a book made of wood, because
of it's scale. The central lighting of this part of
the office arrives from the top of the library and
spreads from the gap between it and the air-conditioning
tunnel above it, which has the same width as the library.
This way, a wall which is not a wall is created, which
becomes a lighting source, creates a dominant design
language, and serves the function of the office.
At the end of the corridor, on one side there is
a kitchenette and toilet, and on the other side of
the library- a meeting room. In this area it is possible
to see through the library a circular light fixture,
which is hanging in the meeting room like a glowing
full moon which reflects on the glass surface of the
large table which is like a swimming pool.
The design of the office spaces provides severity
and security, whereas the urban landscape viewed from
the glass screen which envelopes the office building,
provides movement and steady flow to the place, day
and night.
As one enters the office the spatial orientation
creates a sense of hospitality, accessibility and
purposiveness. Whereas, opposed to most offices a
reception desk, or a large waiting room do not stay
the visitor. The space welcomes circulation in one
of it's two main axes – right, to the services
wing, or left to the wing with a symbolically heightened
entrance, to the office of it's owners. The hierarchical
structure is exposed here: the location, distance
and even color hint on the position of each worker
and enable maximum orientation.
