The Synaptic Medical office space was created through the conversion of a former factory building with a one-storey concrete and two-storey steel structure. The interior concept draws on the original materials of concrete and steel, complemented by wood veneer to add warmth to the atmosphere. Skylights bring natural light into the 60 × 40 metre hall. Glazed rooms at the centre and concrete structures form clusters to use for meetings, breaks and offices. The remaining area is left open, highlighting the spaciousness of the hall construction.
Statement by the Jury
The Synaptic Medical office unites a generous spatial concept, minimalist design and high functionality to create an effective working environment.
