Kantar CZ - building a functional and personalized workspace

We were given the opportunity to create a unique office design for Kantar, the world's leading data, insights, and consulting company. The goal of Cushman & Wakefield architects was to act in keeping with the recommendations of conservationists by building the modern interior in harmony with the building’s historical functionalist exterior, thereby allowing for both employees and visitors to enjoy the euphonious combination of historical heritage and a contemporary workspace.

In creating a functional and personalized workspace for Kantar, the architects based their utilized color palette on the company’s visual identity – the entire interior was adorned with a tasteful blend of white with contrasting dark walnut wood and gold details.

The walls were lined with illustrated portraits of the world’s leading researchers, aiming to inspire the users of the space as they engage in their sociological research. The illustrations were complemented by arched furniture, refurbished armchairs, and luxfer partitions, which serve as an untraditional means of creating partitions within the office space.

Despite the implementation of all contemporary elements in the interior, certain features, such as the corridors and corridor ceilings, were made to be reminiscent of the design of the historic corridors of the main building, allowing for the historical character of the building to permeate the office space.

Through the stylistic blend of the historic exterior and the neo-functionalism interior, our architects, in cooperation with our Project Managers, preserved the genius of the unique historic building and created a unique office for our client.
