Keeeper Poland Corporate
Interiors
Keeeper Poland holds two firsts in the studio's portfolio. It is the first project where the entire concept design was developed through AI image generation — Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion replaced conventional 3D rendering workflows during the exploratory phase, producing four distinct moodboard directions, with three concept layouts for the spatial arrangement developed alongside them, before the design converged on its final identity. It also marks the first dual-entity delivery model, where the design studio handled interior architecture while a separate general contracting partner executed construction. Both approaches have since become standard practice.
The brief called for transforming a dated two-level office suite for the Polish subsidiary of a German multinational household products manufacturer. A site survey in April 2023 revealed green carpet, ageing suspended ceiling tiles, and basic cabinetry throughout — a space that communicated nothing about the company it housed. The design response needed to do more than modernise: it had to make the workplace itself an expression of the brand.
Four concept directions were explored through the AI-generated workflow: a mint-green office scheme, a cool-blue corporate direction, a bold industrial-orange concept with exposed ceilings, and the warm-neutral palette that ultimately prevailed. What emerged was a wood-forward aesthetic grounded in restraint — a workplace that communicates substance without spectacle, where the product itself becomes the design statement rather than the decor surrounding it.
The Level 1 floor plan organises the 385 square metres around a central corridor spine. Reception and lounge occupy the entry zone, anchored by a backlit keeeper logo on a dark walnut brand wall that serves as both identity marker and spatial orientation. The corridor itself becomes an architectural element: jet-black aluminium-framed glass partitions with frosted privacy bands run its full length, maintaining visual transparency across the floor plate while defining individual zones.
The conference room anchors the interior zone with a long timber table and dedicated AV wall. A high-performance acoustic mobile wall allows the meeting space to open into or separate from the adjacent open plan as operational demands shift — the kind of flexibility that a manufacturing headquarters, hosting everything from board meetings to product presentations, genuinely requires. Ecophon suspended acoustic panels run across the ceiling above, managing the acoustics of a room that must serve both concentrated discussion and large-group presentation.
The open-plan secretariat continues the material register of warm timber surfaces and linear suspended LED luminaires running perpendicular to the glass partition grid. Workstations maintain visual connection to the corridor while the Ecophon ceiling system manages the acoustic environment overhead — the same treatment that runs consistently across the entire floor plate, creating a unified sound-managed workspace.
The kitchenette and coffee point function as the social hub of the office. White cabinetry with a wood backsplash, pendant lighting, and a bar-height counter with high stools create an informal zone that deliberately contrasts with the more restrained palette of the workspaces. The intention is a space that invites pause — a shift in atmosphere without departing from the overall material language.
The executive office retains the glass partition to the corridor, maintaining the visual openness that characterises the floor plate while providing acoustic separation from the staff environment. A walnut accent wall with framed artwork gives the room a more considered, personal quality — the only space on the floor where the design allows individual expression within the corporate framework.
The arrival sequence begins at ground level, where a tiled staircase with black metal railing and plant accents establishes the material vocabulary before visitors reach the main office floor. Corporate signage and a wall sconce set the tone — understated, warm, and deliberate — for what follows above.
The product showroom integrates the client's household manufacturing range directly into the architectural fabric of the reception zone. Walnut shelving with integrated LED strip lighting displays keeeper products as design objects rather than commercial inventory — extending brand identity from graphic signage into three-dimensional space. It is the clearest expression of the project's underlying premise: that the workplace should showcase what the company makes, not merely accommodate the people who make it.
The reception desk in warm timber carries the keeeper brand typography, marking the threshold between the public arrival zone and the working interior. Warm downlighting reinforces the transition point — from the corridor's rhythmic glass partitions into the softer lounge territory beyond.
The bathroom specification carries the dark-accent material language from the office partitions through to the support spaces. Large-format grey tiles, a backlit organic-shaped mirror, and matte black accessories create a washroom that feels considered rather than perfunctory — the same attention to finish that characterises the primary spaces extended into rooms that less committed projects might neglect.
Textured dark wall tiles and concealed plumbing systems maintain the clean, minimal aesthetic. The matte black flush plate and wall-hung fixtures continue the hardware language established by the glass partition framing throughout the office.
The complete technical documentation package — ten drawing sheets spanning inventory, general layout, partition layout, electrical, lighting, plumbing, flooring, and ceiling plans — was delivered in September 2023, closing a design cycle that began with a site survey five months earlier.
The pre-renovation photographs document what the design replaced: green carpet, dated suspended ceiling tiles, basic cabinetry, fluorescent lighting, and a generic commercial interior that bore no relationship to the brand occupying it. The transformation scope was comprehensive — full ceiling strip and rebuild across both levels, complete partition demolition and reconstruction, and an acoustic ceiling system replacing the old tiles to create a consistent sound-managed workspace.
