ERZO Business Centre is a 6-story, almost 6000 m. sq. construction intended as headquarters for the young company ERZO, which specializes in project interior and exterior design and construction.
The building, which stands in the Ak-Bulak area not far from the city center surrounded by living and communal areas, became the main attraction for this part of the city.
The form of ERZO Business Centre is simple and clear. The smooth curve of the glass exterior, covered by a decorative HPL screen, gives the building lightness and protects it from intense sun and heat. The interior is connected through a bright atrium, both black and white marble are incorporated as well as more traditional wooden details, in a sense combining two cultural styles: Middle Eastern and Northern European. Additionally, the monumental and luxurious spaces are revitalized by the flowing wooden 'waves'. The spaces of ERZO Business Centre are functional, aesthetic, and appealing to the necessities of a modern-day employee: the need for combining work with recreation. The office accommodates a sports center, a café, and several relaxation zones. The varied color palette marks the different corporate zones, giving the solid construction a modern playfulness.
