Avito | ABD architects

The main idea of the interior of the new part of the Avito office was born easily: the Avito team is young, everyone is keen on sports and travelling, so the interior theme was obvious – Yachting. Pyotr Fidelman, Chief Project Architect of ABD architects: “Yachts are the joy of discoveries, positivity, competition and struggle, team work and individual skills. Moreover, the yacht is a paragon of rational design, where each cubic centimeter of the space is meaningful and functional, which is quite relevant an office space too.”

The office is planned on the Activity Based Design principle. This means that for all working situations and processes, whether it is an intense consultation of the design team, focused work of a single employee or a confidential tet-a-tet talk or anything else, the architects from ABD architects provided an appropriate zone and created convenient conditions. Much attention was paid to the team work: the layout and furniture solutions encourage communication and cooperation of the employees. There are numerous convenient and diverse interior zones for groups from two or three to twelve persons, which approximately match the number of design teams. All conference rooms and open zones of communication are designed differently, with none of them looking like the other. There is a hammock from a twin-hull ship, a lifesaver ring bench for brainstorming, the hold, a submarine cabin and the “boatswain’s back” meeting room with sun-tan color walls ornamented with marine tattoos, and lots more.
