The Idea M stationery shop in Prishtina Mall is a project that is eye-catching now, but with its ability to adapt to changing needs over time it is set to be attractive for years to come. For this project we decided to explore and embrace modular design inspired by scaffolding and employ off-site assemblage which makes it distinct project, bringing the benefits of lower cost, faster build times and sustainability.

The Buzuku bookstore in Prishtina mall, designed by us, features a design that incorporates whimsical elements and fairy tale-inspired artwork. The shelving displays are intricate, inviting visitors to explore and discover new stories. The use of natural materials and earthy tones creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The reading areas are scattered throughout the space, providing visitors with a place to relax and enjoy a good book. The design is an example of how functionality and aesthetic appeal can blend together to create a pleasant and inviting space.

Aside from our big projects with big budgets, we take the most pride in the small scale ones, as we believe they have the most potential to change people’s lives, and sometimes even start a new family legacy. Taking part in these journeys is both humbling and a privilege.
We poured our hearts onto this one…

Minimal with a shine..

A task was in front of us: Add an adjacent space to the existing venue that would serve for a fine dining experience while preserving the ambiance of the existing venue and parallelly upgrade the existing venue with minimal interventions. The aim was to create a sophisticated environment, where the old and the new fuse into one.

Telegrafi offices – Moving still space

Our client, Telegrafi.com is one of pioneering online media as well as the most forward-thinking one in the region. Working in the online world, can be often translated into sedentary activity, with less social interactions, with employers often reporting that it is harder to switch off, and that they resort to unhealthy lifestyle. Being aware of this, we thought we could tackle these drawbacks of working online, with design. Thus, the underlying theme of design in Telegrafi offices is “Technology as an invisible bond between people and space”, giving the latter much more agency than it usually has. A space that has agency is more alive, it interacts and gets to know the people it interacts with, and by developing through learning, it achieves a long-term symbiosis between the two. This was done using smart systems, which analogous to the role of the brain in the nervous system, control, modify, adapt every aspect of the space, ensuring a work environment that is focused on the wellbeing of workers meanwhile maximizing work effectiveness. An innovative use of such smart systems was incorporated in 26 round lights custom built for the space with LED strips on the perimeter fading towards the center creating a unique effect of natural light, a contrast to the monotone plain light surfaces used nowadays as a result of technological advancement. When these same 26 lights that are equipped with RGB light are put in work by a smart system, and some of them “the odd” ones, and are assigned random colors which discretely change places throughout the day create a feeling of movement and passing of time, similar to the notion of how each time we look at the sun during a day, we perceive its position to be moving . To address the unhealthy lifestyle so common in the 21th century workplace, every hour lights start a light show, as a way of reminding people to stand up and move. Furthermore, the smart system can use these lights to personalize the space for event such as birthdays, anniversaries, national holidays, welcoming guests, changing the mood etc., thus creating a unique context related perception of space. Also, on a more functional level, since the entire space is intended for shooting of various types of visual materials, they serve an additional purpose, that of creating sceneries & intros for shows.
Element design is rather simple, with no elements that serve as only decoration. Every element has a function, with some of the elements even exceeding their primary function, for example the greenery stands are also used as an installation duct, enable cables to reach tables from the ceiling mounted cable trays, as we named them “Power Plants”. The ceilings were left untouched, bare concrete, with metallic black painted cable trays put in grid so every position on the ground has accessible installation. Seating layout in designed in a non-orderly, non-hierarchal fashion, providing a sense of freedom to workers. All journalists work in the same space, divided in two zones, each consisting of 10 stations. Some more private working areas such as the meeting box, phone booth, transcript & video-chat box, were also integrated into the design due to the competing needs the space was supposed to meet, that of a co-working space, and of a quiet, private areas to work and handle delicate information, with an additional role of one of these areas (The meeting box), that serves as a shooting setting for a short online show called “Boxed” . The second floor of the offices is dedicated for executive staff, financiers, sales and other administrative staff that are accommodated in four offices. The floor also has a training area, a meeting room, all linked via a hallway/waiting area, dominated by a bold pink cushion seating, and common kitchenette/bar.

Gifted students “Ice and Fire club”

Having a rather challenging brief of incorporating multiple functions of being a cinema, debate club, book club as well as a space for group meetings, nonformal lectures and a collaborative/working space we had to come up with an innovative way of addressing the client’s needs in a cohesive space.

The debate space: The orange, blue walls was a reference to the Game of Thrones  Ice and Fire theme as well as to the opposing teams in a debate context, and it is completed with accompanying wooden chairs and table of the same color giving this scheme a clean elegant look. The monochromatic effect was used so it wouldn’t draw attention to itself, enabling the content “the debaters and their arguments” shine. The blue and orange go well together, producing a soothing effect that is very pleasant for the eyes. This space also addresses the need for a collaborative/working space offering a 6-person seating on each side.

The book club: The remaining space was painted with baby pink, known to have a relaxing effect, much needed in a recreational environment for the highly gifted. To accommodate the growing number of the books the institution had, two wooden shelves were built. Additional book space was given in the white table at the center of the space. The white table together with the informal seating arrangement serves as a space for the book club. The choice of the round table was made to encourage sharing, collaboration and a sense of togetherness.

The cinema: A step seating was designed due to its flexible and comfortable nature. It accommodates x people and has wheals and can be reconfigured for any use. The main aim with this was to bring people sitting closer together, and to offer a comfortable way to assemble a large or small group without taking over an entire space.

Nonformal lectures space: The space as a whole was conceptualized to be appropriate for nonformal lectures. Bean bags, the step seating and the white table can be easily be moved as needed, leaving enough space for a lecturer to use the white board behind, also ensuring visibility and closeness to each participant. With its clustered seating the space ensures all students are equally engaged and have equal proximity to the presenter, promoting collaboration and connectedness.

Assessment & Psychotherapy space

The space had to address to opposing needs, that of a “well lit, clean, neutral, non- biased’ intelligence assessment area as well as a “welcoming, relaxing, cozy” psychotherapy area. This was achieved once again by using color division within the space.

The assessment area was put by the window, to enable the use of natural light, with extra lighting for special needs of the candidates. A white table was used for its neutral, blank slate properties, in order not to compromise the delicate testing process. The walls are in baby pink, offering once again a soothing space and reducing the potential stress test takers may have. Wall shelving is used to accommodate psychotherapy books and handout materials.

For the psychotherapy area it was important that the space doesn’t trigger any negative response and doesn’t associate to a traumatic event/ memory therefore the space was painted mint green after extensive research on the possible effects different colors can have on human’s mood. According to research with psychotherapy clients, certain shades of pink and green are the dominant preference and evoke tranquility and serenity. Two complementary maroon colored cushion chairs are offered for comfortable seating while in session. A ceiling lights fixtures and a floor lamp provide means of control for ambiance, mood and how you use the room. Abstract paintings with playful tints and shades of both pink and green were used to achieve a unified space.
