Hidria institute lobby

The entrance lobby represents the first point of contact for visitors. Prior to our intervention, the lobby had not been specially designed. It featured prominent Hotavlje marble, a round staircase, and the building's curved corner. As a high-tech company that deals intensively with automotive electric motors, the design's central theme was movement and circulation.

We established two focal points in the space, around which the program is radially organized. The first is the reception and exhibition area, and the second is the main staircase. Curved walls, furniture, and lighting elements appear in segments around these two centers. The curved walls shape the space and create display surfaces. They guide users towards the staircase while concealing access to the high-tech production areas. Curved wooden furniture serves as reception desks, product displays, and storage, providing stability to the thin curved walls.

Through the concept of circulation and movement, we expressed the company's character, further emphasized by the lighting. The renovation has given the entrance lobby its representative look.
