The service office of Multispace Dinamo is already a second interior design project developed by T+T Architects, led by Sergey Trukhanov, for the Multispace company. The first one was the building in the 1st Shchipkovsky Lane – Multispace Paveletskaya, opened in 2020. In that instance, the architects received a five-story house, built in 2007, to work with: they reconstructed it, replacing its facades, yet preserving the bearing structures.

Dinamo, however, is a completely different matter – the new office space occupies 7 of its floors – 2-4 and 13-16 in the new A-class business center Arena that is the most slender and – currently – the tallest building of the larger and well-known complex called VTB Arena Park. The business center has 24 floors in it, and Multispace occupied about a third of this volume. It received a dedicated entrance of its own with a double-height atrium on the side of the Third Transport Ring; it also has modern engineering lines, an 8-elevator communication core, and windows reaching to the floor, just as a modern office should have – actually, glass walls – as well as ceilings 3.6 meter high and a convenient location with a good transport accessibility – the nearest metro station is a ten minutes’ walk away through the Dinamo park.

All these are good “givens”, and they all came with the commission to make the new thing as diverse and as flexible as possible: the new space continues and develops the features of Multispace, already tested at the Paveletskaya project.

What makes the Multispace Dinamo project different is that, while at Paveletskaya we, one way or another, focused on the specifics of individual floors, then in this particular project we mixed up the formats within the space of each floor as much as possible, striving for maximum variability and diversity. We combined offices, meeting rooms, open spaces, quiet zones, stand-up zones, as well as teamwork zones designed for formal talks and informal communication, and so on.

Another feature is that there are soft zones provided next to the meeting rooms: you need to have them not so much when you wait for the meeting to begin, but when you want to finalize your formal negotiations in a comfortable environment. It is scientifically proven that in 70% of cases there is a need to “finish” your formal talks, for example, to discuss a specific case with a specific person. We have taken into account this need as well.
