The world of work is like a training ground for life. Architects Jakub Heidler and Jan Kačer of Studio Reaktor interpreted this popular wisdom literally in their expansion project Prague offices of Livesport, a service provider with websites and apps, live results, news, statistics, and info for over 35 sports.
The design runs parallel to the sporting world, given expression in the spaces for office work. The design has three main focal points. There are a series of lines exactly like those marking the bounds of a playing field, used to orient the spaces and bound its areas, which include workstations, offices, meeting rooms, and relaxation spaces.
And they highlight storage areas, entrances, and warehouses. The design brings to mind sports equipment used by athletes for training, aiming to achieve optimal work results within daily routines. Architectural structures suggesting large wooden and metal boxes separate the spaces and are also sound-insulated spaces for quick meetings. Then, there had, of course, to be tactics.
The right strategy and players’ movement plans are pivotal to winning the game and bringing athletes closer to their goals. Tactics are also analyzed during sports broadcasts using an electronic track built into wavy linear lighting that fluctuates throughout the interiors. Gathering points are marked by an X based on their importance, while the most significant ones are surrounded by light. Jakub Heidler and Jan Kačer are known for thinking outside of the box in their designs that always aim at improving our living environments.
