Yandex – Odessa Office Space

Yandex is a leading internet company in Russia, operating the most popular search engine and the most visited website in the country. They  generated an impressive 63.3% of all search traffic in Russia in 2011 and 59.4% in March 2012. The architects behind their new Odessa office space aimed to create a bright office which was extraordinary and memorable.  Odessa, being a maritime city, naturally lent itself to a subtle maritime theme – for example the light-diffusers are in the form of sails, and the walls are covered with copper.
