“We wanted everyone who enters this space to immediately feel comfortable,” says Victoria Kareva, chief designer and co-founder of Between the Walls. “This is a space that does not cause a feeling of pressure, but on the contrary, stimulates, calms, and gives a sense of inner balance.”

From the early stages of planning, the main focus was on creating a dynamic open space area near the entrance. This area is designed to promote interaction not only among employees but also among visitors. The multifunctional relaxation area is integrated with a meeting room and a welcoming dining room, where meetings can be held over a light buffet or a glass of wine. The office also has a hidden kitchen.

We strive to promote contemporary art, so we invited Anastasia Lelyuk to collaborate on this project. Her poetic approach to decorative art and sensitivity to symbols allowed her to breathe new life into the historical elements of the interior, preserving the depth and narrative of the space. 

Anastasia created a large-scale bas-relief in the kitchen area depicting fantastic animals, inspired by mythological scenes, made of separate pieces of papier-mâché. The artist also left paintings on the ceilings in the dining area and workrooms, which visually unite the space and add lightness to it. The wall painting under the ceiling, which imitates a tabletop, stands out in particular, creating a dialogue between the rooms.
