SelfDezign won the BIG SEE Interior Design Award 2024 in the Workplace category for designing Ezugi's office

SelfDezign, a local design and architecture firm, received the BIG SEE Interior Design Award 2024 for the best office design, a competition that awards the best architectural projects in Southeast Europe. The SelfDezign team, consisting of architect Irina Stoica, architect Daria Mihailov-Chiriac, intern architect Maria Mota, and brand strategist Toni Bunaiașu, won the award for the Workplace category with the project of Ezugi's office in Bucharest.

The award-winning project, located in Campus C - Pipera, with a surface area of 905.78 square meters, represents the epitome of modern office design, integrating the latest global trends in architecture and interior design. It addresses the emerging needs of the labour market by creating an environment that values flexibility, collaboration, and innovation. Every design detail was crafted to encourage natural interaction and creativity, aligning with global trends favouring open, multifunctional, and tech-enhanced spaces.

For this reason, Ezugi's space includes numerous informal zones for relaxation, teamwork, and brainstorming. This supports the various work modes identified in recent studies, from intense individual work to spontaneous collaborations.

Furniture and architectural solutions such as floors, acoustic partitions, and other custom elements were carefully chosen to harmoniously blend with the overall decor and were entirely provided by Workspace Studio, with whom the SelfDezign design firm closely collaborates for all projects emphasizing high quality and impactful design.

"The furniture, work tools, and their arrangement play an essential role in employee productivity and achieving company goals. Beyond standard furniture and lighting fixtures, meticulous attention was paid to decorative elements that honour the brand's identity. How? Through wallpapers with casino-themed designs. With acoustic panels that replicate dice or playing cards. With brightly coloured accessories that emanate warmth, enthusiasm, and relaxation. The result? A world where two seemingly antagonistic elements enter into synergy: play and work" – declares Architect Irina Stoica, founder of SelfDezign.

The design of the project that caught the attention of the regional community of architects and interior designers forming the BIG SEE jury reflects the identity of the client, Ezugi, a global leader in the online casino industry. The design combines dynamic and interactive elements, such as meeting areas marked by a vibrant red point, symbolizing excitement and energy, which for Ezugi signals a live broadcast. The colour palette, in shades of gray and beige with red and green accents, not only reflects Ezugi's brand but also adds vitality and modernity, highlighting the client's vision of creating a workspace that is both functional and inspirational.
