The Novatek headquarters is truly a large-scale example of a new interpretation of the architecture for offices. The building impresses with an exquisite choice of cladding materials and a very well-thought-out form simultaneously spectacular and concise. The windows and wall piers are turned to the façade plane so that they form a wavy line. On even floors, windows and piers are turned in one direction, on odd floors and the basement in the other. Such dynamism softens the massive elements used in the building construction: six-meter single glass panels and thick slabs of Spanish BLANCO CRISTAL granite.
The architectural ensemble of buildings with a wave-like façade stands out against the background not only with its restrained and elegant architecture but also with full compliance to the European design standards for energy efficiency, no wonder it has repeatedly received prestigious professional awards. The lighting emphasized the higher rank of the building without distorting its architectural proportions. The concept features a uniform façade illumination with no additional colour accents.
