Yareal Polska has relocated its headquarters to a new office at the LIXA campus in Warsaw. The company remains within its flagship complex, now occupying new premises in the LIXA C building. The 750 sqm office combines the functionality of a modern workplace with elegant interiors and a warm, homely feel. The Design Group was entrusted with the design.
“When moving offices, we wanted to give our team more than a new place to work. We envisioned a new home for Yareal: elegant, warm and comfortable, while also being functional. Our goal was to provide a welcoming working environment that would suit both those who value quiet and concentration and those who thrive in a more dynamic setting. We have created a space that people look forward to returning to, where comfort supports collaboration, creativity and the delivery of further developments of the highest quality. In doing so, we drew on our experience of delivering both residential and office projects. The quality of materials, attention to detail and the way people feel in the interiors were just as important to us as functionality,” said Katarzyna Oleksińska, Project Director at Yareal Polska.
“We wanted to bring into the workplace the qualities that make us feel comfortable in residential interiors: the warmth of materials, well-considered lighting, a welcoming sense of scale and attention to detail, without sacrificing the functionality a contemporary office requires. Here, a homely feel is about more than styling; it is a way of creating comfort for the people who use the space,” said Marta Konarska-Smykiewicz, Lead Designer / Director at The Design Group.
“LIXA provided an excellent starting point, thanks to the light, the proportions of the space and the scope to accommodate different functions efficiently. This allowed us to create a headquarters that reflects the company’s image without feeling like a typical corporate space, while responding to the team’s varied needs throughout the day,” added Konrad Krusiewicz, CEO of The Design Group.
Developed in phases, LIXA comprises five buildings with a total area of 77,000 sqm, designed by HRA Architekci. Yareal Polska currently owns buildings LIXA C and LIXA E. The campus was designed as an open part of the city, accessible both to employees of its tenant companies and to Warsaw residents. LIXA’s buildings also hold international certifications recognising their environmental performance, technological standards and quality of user experience, including BREEAM Excellent, WiredScore Platinum, WELL Health-Safety, ActiveScore and AirRated.
