RUSSIAN COPPER COMPANY HQ, YEKATERINBURG FOSTER+PARTNERS


JETBRAINS ST PETERSBURG OFFICE, RUSSIA UNSTUDIO


UNStudio has designed Czech software developer JetBrains’ new St. Petersburg office, transforming their current premises into a “modern, immersive campus environment.” The design “focuses on comfort and wellbeing,” said the architects. The campus has been designed in full detail, following the client’s specific approach to work culture, which led to custom-made “healthy” workstations for all employees. Central to the design is the large, vertically stepped, indoor atrium. This generous open space, which connects to an outdoor courtyard and outdoor terraces provides expansive views of the Gulf of Finland. The atrium forms the core of the new ‘JetBrains community,’ contrasting with the office floors, which are based on team and individual focus, rather than an open-plan approach. Central meeting rooms, breakout spaces, auditoriums and the central restaurant are all organised along the stepped atrium. Bridges span the open areas, while carefully designed and intertwined biophilia form the natural backdrop for all activities. Acting as a vestibule, the imposing lobby creates the first views towards the atrium, while providing cloakroom facilities, showers and exercise spaces. The facade design embraces a sustainable approach, blocking heat gain while providing daylight. For the large atrium, a highly transparent stable zigzag glazed facade was chosen, at times spanning five floors. In addition to soft acoustic shading on the inside of the glazed, cantilevers shade the unitised facade. Protruding glazed ceramic elements provide shading, reflect light, and create a “tactility and reflection that will play with the constantly changing light of the sky,” said the architects.


Foster+Partners’ first office building in Russia – for the Russian Copper Company – reimagines the conventional cellular office to set new standards in quality, comfort and flexibility. The 15-storey building’s innovative modular office units are enveloped in an “energy efficient enclosure,” said the architects. The building’s triangulated elements draw inspiration from the “crystal lattice of copper.” The crown of the building integrates RCC’s new logo, which itself has been inspired by the architecture. “The starting point for the office floors was to reinvent the headquarters as a ‘house for staff,’” said Foster+Partners – instead of the conventional large, communal workspaces, the rooms are of a more intimate, domestic scale. The practice’s workplace consultancy group analysed the client’s operations and helped to devise the modular system for these rooms. Each two-storey module comprises a stacked pair of offices – this is expressed externally through the double-storey cladding module.
