A building of one of the local IT pioneers – Novkabel, will be turned into a multifunctional business environment for around 300 employees, while keeping the elements of brutalism and industrial architecture.
The facility has 12 floor and an area of 5,500 m2.
According to the Gradnja portal, the privatized
Novosadska fabrika kabela AD is entering this project of the reconstruction of a nearly four-decades old building with the intention of turning it into
a modern business facility tailored to the demands of the now all-present IT industry – the future NS Office Park.
The architectural part of the job was entrusted to the studio
Vasona d.o.o. from Novi Sad, led by the head designer Aksinja Lukic and her colleagues Svetlana Vujinovic and Radmila Markovic Vavrin.
The project could not achieve a full reconstruction, in the sense of keeping the absolute appearance of the facility, so
the choice came down to the metal façade.
The plan is for
the first two floors to feature a modern art gallery and a multifunctional space for education and various semi-public features.
When it comes to the interior, the basic idea behind the design is based on forming productive workspaces, that is, for a good natural daylight, natural color schemes and large quantities of plants to form comfortable, tucked-in work environments, equipped with quality office furniture.
Currently, all the finishing works are in the final stage, and
the plan is for the tenants to move into the facility at the beginning of the summer.
The contractor is
Koto doo Belgrade, and
MAG Arhitektura was in charge of the renders.
