The project we did for investor Marinko Smolčić is an excellent example of good cooperation between investors, contractors and us as project designers. Project itself was adapting and renewing his business space CORPUS CENTRUM for body care, health and medicine. Quality communication during design also reflected on the concept of space organization that we have shaped so that it has its centre, good flow and clarity.
The limitations we encountered were the minimum height of the space, the relatively demanding installation and the large number of small rooms with the default usage. Combining our knowledge of technical solutions and materials and their innovative application, we have created a recognizable, dynamic, functional and comfortable space within the planned financial frame.
The interior of the space corresponds to the serious nature of the business while at the same time creating a sense of warmth and openness. Our creative approach to using “low budget” materials has achieved an elegance we were aiming for. Given the small height of the space we decided to leave the ventilation installations visible and then used them as an element in interior design. We opposed the “raw” and the refined, and with that created the contrast that provides dynamics in the interior. We have applied the same principle when selecting finishings and materials.
As owner and user of space, Mr. Smolčić likes to say, “What is stuck needs to be released, and what moved should be returned to its place” so we also created a space where one can feel that everything is in its place.
