Rush office in Kvartal

The interior concept for Rush Street Interactive is based on the company’s graphic identity, colour palette, and a street motif inspired by Rush Street in Chicago. These references were reinterpreted in a contemporary way and brought into the spaces of Kvartal. In the spatial layout, long corridors unfold like interior streets, lined with different “facade” fronts. Softer colours and a gentler character define the more intimate team rooms. A more playful and bold style -together with materials that could just as easily belong in an outdoor setting - characterises the shared areas and corridors. Vibrant, at times contrasting elements alternate with softer tones, resulting in an interior that feels calm, yet never dull.

The office has everything necessary - team rooms, phone booths, meeting rooms, a common area, a kitchen - and even more - a coffee point/stretching area, a games and relaxation area, a bar, and even a separate little house with a bedroom.

Conceptually, the heart of the office is the shared area with the kitchen, which functions as a kind of town square—a social hub where people can have lunch together, spend time, and host events. The spacious layout and variety of seating options allow the kitchen, all-hands area, games zone, and lounge area to be rearranged as needed. In addition to the kitchen—designed to resemble a food truck built from a shipping container—the space also features a circular bar inspired by a city street kiosk and a games and relaxation area reminiscent of a small urban park lawn. Designing this entire area was especially enjoyable, as it allowed us to introduce elements that bring strong character and playfulness to the office. We used bold materials such as corrugated metal roofing, copper-toned door panels, metal mesh, as well as grass and pebbles in the stepped seating area.

The team rooms provide a strong sense of privacy and generous space around each workstation, while maintaining an overall feeling of pleasant openness. The rooms are primarily enclosed with light, airy glass walls to create both spaciousness and a sense of connection and synergy between employees. A calm, neutral backdrop allows each team member to personalise their individual workspace and shape it into a setting that feels comfortable and their own.

In addition to the team rooms, a variety of phone booths have been integrated into the corridors - some equipped with fully functional workstations, others furnished with comfortable armchairs or built-in seating niches - to provide quiet spaces for focused work while adding diversity and flexibility to the working environment.

In the large meeting room, an acoustic partition has been installed, allowing the space to be divided into two fully equipped meeting rooms when needed. Here, the brand’s signature yellow has been playfully highlighted, complemented by the building’s architecture and the charming views over the wooden house district of Karlova. The result is a welcoming and uplifting space that, according to company feedback, has already seen extensive use - particularly for international joint meetings.
