The ASCII Art Is on the Wall – Dynabyte Offices, Stockholm

Swedish architects PS Arkitektur are all about vibrant house designs and floor plans, and they applied the same creative principles in designing the Stockholm offices of Dynabyte. Judging by the interiors of their headquarters, Dynabyte is a great company to work with. They’re casual, dynamic, colorful, love decorative elements, be they flowers or urban-inspired decals featuring skyscrapers. In reality, they are a young and dynamic consultancy company that helps develop systems and is active in the programming industry. By teaming up with the wonderfully imaginative team of PS Arkitektur, they managed to compile a design that stands out in the practice’s colorful portfolio of house designs and floor plans. It’s worth mentioning here that the motto of this brave new architecture studio is “Architecture for change,” their aim is to create unique buildings and interiors that speak for themselves and their work for Dynabyte shows that they mean what they say.

Now, you may have seen contemporary, conceptual house designs and floor plans before, but this one definitely takes the cake. Since the company is active in the field of IT consultancy, the creative brief had the attached architects research the beginning of the Internet. The interior color scheme in based on early 16-color schemes, available in the beginning of the Internet. The decorative images in the meeting rooms are all ASCII art (pictures made with code, if you can believe it!). The monochromatic color concept which dominates most of the concepts was balanced out by the meta-realistic theme displayed in the kitchen and on the doors, with photo wallpapers of real objects.
