Matteo Belfiore Architecture and Skukoh have produced a contemporary office design that is equipped with anti-microbial surfaces.
The updated headquarters for cyber company Cybernet is finished with Fiandre Architectural Surfaces - an Italian manufacturer that specializes in high-end ceramic surfaces. The purpose of the design was to priorities the well-being of Cybernet's employees. In order to do so, the designers chose Fiandre's Urban Active Surfaces collection to finish the space.
Through a process called photocatalysis, Fiandre's ceramic surfaces react with light and begin to oxidize - thus destroying bacteria and viruses. Not only does the office boast cleanliness, but it is also a highly aestheticized space. The architects drew from Japanese rock gardens in order to make a welcoming lobby space.
