Interior of the BBC E building - ČEZ
The interior is conceived to materialize the corporate identity of the company and express its characteristic features - energy, dynamics, strength, a highly organized structure, and modern character. The aforementioned is reflected in the choice of expressive means - quality and durable materials, striking colors, shiny and clean surfaces, variability in spatial solutions, and working with light - reflecting and illuminating all spaces.
Two interior concepts are employed in the building, reflecting two distinct entities, each differing in their operations.
The first is the entrance area of the building on the 1st floor, which includes a hall with a reception, an atrium, and a communication center made up of variable conference rooms and a refreshment area, as well as a spacious dining room for employees.
These spaces are designed to be representative, emphasizing elegance, simplicity, and cleanliness of the interior. The color contrast of dark chocolate brown with white is highlighted by the combination of shiny and matte surfaces in white and silver.
The artistic effect is achieved by using contrasting materials - the floor alternates between a technical surface of shiny stainless steel mosaics in high-traffic areas and a rough natural texture of dark brown sisal carpet in quieter spaces. Large-format wall cladding is used with horizontal divisions, emphasized by negative joints. The basic material is polished dark brown Spanish marble with white veining, which serves as a unifying element throughout the space. The stone cladding in the communication center area is complemented by similarly formatted cladding of glossy lacquered panels in white. Acoustic reasons led to the use of textile cassette cladding in beige and dark brown on the mobile partitions. Circular columns are clad with glass mosaics in golden brown shades.
In the employee dining room, the stone is complemented by bright orange lacquered cladding, creating a less formal and friendly environment. The contrast is emphasized by alternating black and white tables and chairs, whose glossy finish enhances the impression of cleanliness and dynamism of the interior.
The overall impression is also complemented by accessories - instead of regular curtains, compositions of plastic “fronds” in white are used, which enliven and lighten the cladding surfaces. In the dining room, partitions of plexiglass with cut-out patterns are used, illuminated from the sides by LED strips hidden in stainless steel structures, creating an interesting light effect and bringing energy into the space. The symbolism of energy and a highly organized structure, which expresses the character of the company, is also present in the design of the reception desks. They are made of illuminated white Coralite with a three-dimensional pattern of the rotating company logo.
The second entity is the administrative section of the building. This consists of open-space offices, supplemented by meeting rooms and directors' offices, separated by glass partitions – again with the pattern of the rotating logo. In the office space, there are also tables with comfortable chairs for informal meetings and wardrobes. The setups of work desks are separated by double-sided cabinets, creating a quieter area for focused work. Large white planters with plants are also used for pleasant spatial division.
The main goal was to create a dynamic and friendly working environment and to avoid the usual gray-gray interior, which is almost standard in offices. The foundation of the color scheme consists of highlighted corridors, made up of colorful carpet squares in 7 striking shades, while the area under workstations is just a gray checkerboard. Another color accent is provided by plexiglass partitions in the company’s orange color, separating individual workspaces. The simple color scheme of the furniture (light gray and white) is enlivened by colorful chairs and armchairs.

Special attention was paid to lighting. Unusual standing lamps are used for office spaces, with one lamp assigned to every two tables. The selected type creates lighting with both direct and indirect components, which are produced by the reflection of light off the ceiling. The result is very pleasant, soft lighting with the possibility of individual adjustment of its intensity right at each workstation.
