This project is a new chapter in the history of Academy DTEK, the largest educational platform for public sector employees in Ukraine, a project that we presented in 2019.

And it’s about the other side of the coin: here are the working areas of those who teach and create training programs, test and coordinate them, monitor student performance and teachers’ qualifications — all those who are behind the creation and daily support of the Academy DTEK platform

This place is a knowledge home. And a home for those who create them. The architects worked diligently to make it home-like cosy and comfortable.
The office occupies the fifth floor of a new building in Kyiv Silicon Valley – UNIT. City Innovation Park, where the Academy itself is located on the first and second floors.
We leave the elevator and on both hands, in front of us, there are coworking halls with blue and yellow guiding triangles on the floor.
Here again, we see colour ovals on the floor and light ovals on the ceiling. In a classic seating arrangement with fixed jobs, like raisins in cupcake dough, informal zones with puff pouches are also involved, and again, a counter at the window.
Queen among the meeting rooms, our WOW room. An entire ecosystem was placed behind the transparent walls of a small cylinder: a phytowall made of living plants, a nice handmade cloud — Khmara lamp by MAKHNO Studio, and even elephants — sofas The Elephants. A luminous hoop on the ceiling — instead of a clear sky.
The Academy regularly organizes lectures and master classes by teachers from the best European business schools.
Welcome aboard the spaceship of knowledge. The room behind the door with the Technology Room sign is designed for several scenarios. The main purpose is a hall for testing new programs, products, and developments. The room is equipped with projectors, multimedia boards, and VR and AR equipment for conducting experiments. They also introduced an RGB lighting system to create the necessary atmosphere.
The office of the head of the company is minimalistic and bright, but not without accents and manufacturability. At the centre of this micro-universe is a desktop on which guests and colleagues can place their laptops.
One of the most common problems in offices is that all the meeting rooms are busy. Here it will be difficult to create such a problem. Meeting rooms are located around the perimeter of the office and allow you to hold a series of meetings at the same time. Even if some of them were spontaneous.
On a sunny day, thanks to the red film on the facade, the cafeteria is filled with bright scarlet light.
There is room for yoga, fitness or just a short break for exercise. Mirrors and yellow stripes make the space textured, and glowing hoops create a cosmic atmosphere.

We leave the elevator and on both hands, in front of us, there are coworking halls with blue and yellow guiding triangles on the floor. The emphasis here is on windows on the floor, the view from which is displayed in translucent walls. An atmosphere of weightlessness, purity of consciousness and a willingness to concentrate on the most important things that are about to be created.
Here again, we see colour ovals on the floor and light ovals on the ceiling. In a classic seating arrangement with fixed jobs, like raisins in cupcake dough, informal zones with puff pouches are also involved, and again, a counter at the window. Yes, you have to do your job and show the result. But how you do it — is up to you. The style of the office is created on the verge between an atmosphere of the party place and a space that will stimulate productivity.
Queen among the meeting rooms, our WOW room. An entire ecosystem was placed behind the transparent walls of a small cylinder: a phytowall made of living plants, a nice handmade cloud — Khmara lamp by MAKHNO Studio, and even elephants — sofas The Elephants. A luminous hoop on the ceiling — instead of a clear sky.
With the help of the smart home system, which D8 Engineering invariably integrates into our projects, you can select the backlight colour according to the RGB spectrum, and adjust the brightness of the light and the air temperature. In addition to the meeting room, this is also the main platform in the office for filming video messages and recording interviews.
The Academy regularly organizes lectures and master classes by teachers from the best European business schools. Especially for negotiations with them, 4 rooms were created with enhanced noise isolation for phone and Skype calls.
Welcome aboard the spaceship of knowledge. The room behind the door with the Technology Room sign is designed for several scenarios.

The second function is to divide this space into the lounge area by the window with hanging soft swings and workstations. When nothing presses and does not hold you down, when you feel the freedom to set aside time for rest — this is a new format of motivation in modern companies.
Thirdly, this space can transform into a presentation audience with rows for listeners and interactive wall boards.
And again, KHMARAs obediently migrated to this zone
The office of the head of the company is minimalistic and bright, but not without accents and manufacturability. At the centre of this micro-universe is a desktop on which guests and colleagues can place their laptops. After all, the idea of the chief’s office, as a hidden place of solitude, is outdated. An updated rhythm of work involves constant communication with your team.
One of the most common problems in offices is that all the meeting rooms are busy. Here it will be difficult to create such a problem. Meeting rooms are located around the perimeter of the office and allow you to hold a series of meetings at the same time. Even if some of them were spontaneous. Different area and room layout is designed for different types and formats of meetings. And the colour sprayed on the transparent walls of the meeting rooms provides the convenience and clarity of making appointments in the room “by colour.”
On a sunny day, thanks to the red film on the facade, the cafeteria is filled with bright scarlet light. The cache pot and radial wall made of stainless steel reflect and cool both light and thoughts that are seething after an active workflow. And again — the absolute mobility of the hall, no inflexible decisions.
There is room for yoga, fitness or just a short break for exercise. Mirrors and yellow stripes make the space textured, and glowing hoops create a cosmic atmosphere. The elegance and visual lightness of the space is conducive to a relaxed yet focused workout.
