WE ARE MINUSPLUS
Minusplus is an independent, 20-person architecture and design studio based in Budapest. We provide sustainable and innovative design solutions. We are sentient human beings, we love harmony and beauty. Our interest is faithfully reflected in the diversity of our works. We enjoy what we do, and this is clearly visible in our buildings as well. Our plans are surrounded by continuous professional interest, our buildings are regularly published and rewarded with prizes.
WE CREATE INSPIRATIONAL SPACES
The main ambition of our team is to design buildings that encourage the activities within them. We explore new contexts and re-interpret the relationship of spaces and their habitants. We believe this makes the world around us a better place.
WE ARE CURIOUS
Our method is discovery: we create the setpoints of the plan from the analysis and interpretation of the given situation. We dare to ask and search for new solutions, for this we systematically research architecture and develop our own capabilities. We are convinced that the question is the most important driving force that starts a change.
WE COOPERATE
Our working method is receptive, therefore our architectural responses are various and colorful. We believe that harmonizing different approaches will advance our world and build our environment.
WE MAKE IT HAPPEN
We stand with two feet on the ground: our ideas are innovators, but we always work out ways to make them feasible.
Project description in English
The transformation of the Webstar Group's office in Pécs is already special because of the location: the interior offers a panoramic view on the Tettye district of Pécs. In addition, the facade of the building housing the office is decorated with the graphics by Kossuth Prize-winning painter Tamás Konok, which had a strong influence on the interior design concept.
During the transformation of the office, the emphasis was shifted from individual workstations to group work and community spaces of different types and scales. The work environment diversified with a library and several meeting rooms. Informal work, as well as relaxation and leisure activities became more prominent with the appearance of the workcafé.
The grid of lines, acting as the framework of the office's interior design concept was formed by reflecting both on the building’s strict structural system and Georg Nees’ computer art, as a source of inspiration. Yellow stripes run continuously on the flooring, the walls and the ceiling. The strict, geometric order of this grid seen in the private spaces of the office gradually dissolves towards the sparkling social space of the workcafé, the lines step out of the grid, rendering the spaces, intended for informal use, more intimate.
In parallel with the design of their office, the renewal of Webstar’s brand also took place. We architects cooperated closely with the graphics team of VAN Design, the result of which is that the brand is prominently displayed in the interior spaces: the meeting and workshop rooms are decorated with brightly colored patterns on the wall surfaces between the grid, while the office spaces have been given a more restrained decorative painting.
