Government Client

Multi-Purpose Project

Visitors Center - Staff Community Area - Boardroom - Town Hall

The project illustrated here was created for a commercial government institution that wanted to rejuvenate 1600 square meter of floor space – creating:
  • A visitors center
  • A staff community area
  • A boardroom and meeting rooms
  • A place to have seminars and presentations
The challenge in this project was to convert a complete floor into a space that staff, management and visitors could equally benefit from.
Everything you see in the pictures was created by DAN Design in cooperation with our customers management and staff.
All the works and furniture that you see in the pictures was made and delivered by our valuable strategic partners.
