A New Development Phase for Livar
Livar d. d., a specialist in complex foundry products, entered a new development phase and began investing heavily in the modernization of its production. As part of this shift, the company also decided to renovate its business premises and administrative processes. Because of this, they invited Kreatif architects to design a modern and efficient interior for the administrative building. From the start, the goal was to create a space that supports employees and reflects the company’s evolving identity.
Creating a Unified Working Environment
The diverse activities within the company—sales, logistics, and development—intertwine in shared spaces. Therefore, we needed a creative approach to connect all functions into a coherent and balanced working environment. To achieve this, we focused on ergonomics, calm color schemes, and both natural and artificial lighting. In addition, we addressed sound insulation, functional workspace organization, and indoor climate. As a result, the workplace feels more comfortable, stable, and supportive for all employees.
Smart Spatial Organization
During planning, we paid special attention to the separation between quiet and noisy zones. Logistics, sales, and the utility program generate higher noise levels, while, by contrast, facilities management and development departments require silence. To resolve this, we divided the spaces with glass partitions. Consequently, the interior maintains openness and transparency while still reducing distractions.
Furthermore, equal access to the meeting room was a priority. It needed to be convenient for employees and easily reachable for external visitors. For this reason, we organized workstations in logistics, sales, and the utility program to allow short and efficient movement throughout the office.
A Design Language Inspired by Foundry Technology
The concept for the office interior takes inspiration from Livar’s own products and technology. Since the company logo and many of its products feature curved edges, we introduced soft, rounded forms and layered structures into the design. In this way, the interior expresses the essence of modern pre-casting methods such as 3D printing. Ultimately, these elements form what we refer to as the foundry concept, a visual identity that links the space directly to the company’s core activity.
Materials, Colors, and Acoustic Comfort
Natural materials and glass play a key role in the business interior. Moreover, neutral white surfaces create a calm backdrop for bold red metal accents, which express the company’s visual identity. At the same time, anti-allergenic textile flooring helps reduce noise throughout the offices.
In addition, the color palette supports the company’s commitment to environmentally conscious production. This idea continues with a living green wall, which adds texture and improves the overall indoor atmosphere.
Lighting as a Unifying Element
Special care was given to the lighting concept. Linear ambient lights run through hallways and office zones. Because of their placement, they follow the edges of the suspended ceiling and visually connect the entire office. Consequently, the lighting creates a calm, unified, and well-illuminated workspace that supports focus and communication.
