A unique pre-revolutionary era space. During the removal of modern finishes, brickwork dating back to the 1880s was uncovered.
The standout feature of this space is its architectural vaulted ceilings, locked with keystones — one of humanity’s earliest engineering innovations, which continues to impress with its aesthetics and functionality. These vaults evoke a sense of grandeur and depth, serving as a testament to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of pre-revolutionary engineers.
Another unique detail lies in the use of tramway sleepers within the building’s structure. In pre-revolutionary Russia, this method was employed to reinforce facades, adding historical significance and a distinctive charm to the project.
We strived to preserve the spirit of this unique space, leaving it nearly untouched while adapting it to modern needs. The centerpiece of the design is the massive “levitating” desks, which create a sense of weightlessness and visually expand the space. These desks are perfectly suited for the workflow of >RocketBank® client support staff, combining functionality with a contemporary style.
Preservation of historical heritage. Modern functionality.
This project exemplifies how historical architecture can be seamlessly integrated with modern functional design, resulting in a unique workspace that reflects the values and style of the company.
