Timeless, carefully selected details create an interesting spatial look, in line with the surrounding industrial area.
The common areas of Orion’s temporary office encourage to meet others and to exchange ideas.
The facilities were designed to meet the company’s needs, taking the future into account. The earthy materials and tones soften the otherwise industrial feel.

Challenge
The goal was to design temporary office spaces for Orion, a pharmaceutical company, in an agile and cost-effective manner. The change in Orion Diagnostica’s office space is a part of a larger work environment renewal, consisting of eight different buildings. Diagnostica’s design was done in accordance with Orion’s environmental values and principles of sustainable development.
Benefit
Kohina was responsible for the architecture and interior architecture design of the office space. The inspiration for the design was drawn from the surrounding industrial environment. The previously empty space was turned into a calm and functional office space, in which every square inch is utilized to the fullest. The industrial-inspired, timeless, look continues throughout the space. The concrete, warm wood and soft, acoustic textiles create an interesting contrast. Neutral furniture and interior design elements can be easily re-used in the future. The look is completed with tinted versions of Orion’s brand color scheme.
