In parallel with the goals of the company 's cultural change over the past one hundred years, the downstairs dining center at the Lehel Road business center was renewed, where a real community coworking space was created with the cooperation of its name and preliminary assessment of employee needs. Ambienta, Mauricio Flores, an architect designer and a team of Europa Design, with the involvement of Egis staff, built an office area with reception, lobby, café-dining and patio features, based on an office audit. In the course of this, in the spirit of organizational culture change, Egis employees were primarily asked what would help their colleagues to work effectively together and to work effectively together.

 

The basic architectural concept was to design a transparent, clean space that allows you to perform several functions by placing different furniture: Acoustic, high-back sofas and armchairs are suitable for retreating, focusing, wall and ceiling acoustic panels and loudspeakers with sound absorbing curtains to help keep the communication in open space and telephone conversations in a separate telephone booth. It is also possible to make the meetings calm, as the acoustic furniture in the form of a capsule designed by the architect, Mauricio Flores, also refers to the activity of the pharmaceutical factory.

During the works, it was a particular challenge to ensure the smooth running of the seven-story office building, which required special attention and coordinated teamwork from all the partners involved in the project during the 6 months of continuous work, so the concept of space concept, cooperation was realized already during the construction.
