Text description provided by the architects. The V-Confession Office is located in the historical part of Moscow close to Ostozhenka Street. It occupies the 4th floor of the old mansion. At that time the place was decorated by cheap traditional office solution such as suspended ceiling and painted wallpaper. In the process of clearing the space we found a number of different materials – brick, concrete blocks, wooden rib walls. Concerning the historical value of this building we decide to uncover some construction elements and save all survived decorative elements such as parquet, plaster moldings.

Stylistic preference for office space is minimalism. The architectural method of perimeter white background is widely used for exhibition spaces. The diagonal volume shifting is inspired by V-Confession corporative style graphics. The office geometry including furniture (metal tables, book shelf) is based on it.

Executive Office

The cabinet was especially designed in contrasting tones to oppose it to the rest working space. We wanted to create a sense of absolute chamber room using active deep colors combined with a replica of the classic wall panels.
