The top floors of the newest, highest, and most technologically advanced high-rise in Warsaw, Varso, were the perfect place to bring the company’s vision to life. One of the reasons Varso was chosen was because it meets the highest sustainability standards,  confirmed by BREEAM Interim certification. This also makes Varso one of the world’s tallest skyscrapers certified “outstanding” against the BREEAM Interim certification scale, the highest grade possible. CMS leased five floors at the top of the building and entrusted the design to Trzop Architekci, one of the most acclaimed Polish architecture studios. Still, the client’s team actively participated in creating a plan for the space and influenced several elements of the office’s design.

Trzop Architekci envisioned a five-floored modern space connected by a magnificent staircase. A mural of Warsaw most remarkable landmarks by well-known Polish artist Tytus Brzozowski would also be on display. The workspace footprint is almost twice as big as the previous company’s location, with additional dedicated spaces for collaborative work, café-style kitchens, and libraries. The space also includes unconventional but very functional areas, like creative workrooms, a parents and children room, and even make up room. The entire space draws inspiration from the modernist architecture of pre-war Warsaw and feature a simple, functional, and timeless style.

One of the most novel and innovative solutions are special sensors allowing real-time monitoring of crucial environmental indicators like PM, CO2, temperature, natural light, and noise.

Of course, in the legal business, confidentiality plays a significant role. That’s why the design plan also emphasized speech privacy. One of the designer’s goals was to provide many places for informal, spontaneous meetings where team members could discreetly discuss their projects with each other or their clients.

Acoustic pods were the natural solution for providing much-needed acoustic comfort and privacy. After deciding to make no compromise on design and quality, architects located seven fully-equipped premium-class acoustic pods Space L. All of the office pods were placed close to employee workstations, providing people with a convenient place for a quick video call with a teammate or client.

All pods offer top-notch sound attenuation, effective and soundless ventilation, and smart ergonomic features like adjustable tabletops. A smaller one-person office phone booth Space S is located in business services area, completing the Space pods set. As one of the client’s requirements was to use only sustainable solutions, all pods are made of FSC-certified wood and are equipped with energy-saving solutions like occupancy sensors.

Among other products, Trzop Architekci designers also used two types of Mute sound absorbers throughout the office, Towers and Cones. Towers are free-standing, movable sound-consuming columns and were placed in an internal conference room and in a VC room. With unparalleled sound absorption levels, they help keep noise in shared places down. Cones, our award-winning, sleek privacy screens, added a dash of style and additional privacy to selected workstations located next to the corridor.
