The RMK Headquarters have been redesigned by the popular firm Foster + Partners. The team used triangular bronze fittings to complete the design, making it stand out from the surroundings.
The building is set to go up in Russia, and "the textured facade subtly changes its appearance according to the season and path of the sun, with the balance between solid and glazed areas designed to maximize low level winter daylight," according to DesignBoom. This makes the RMK headquarters distinct in that it's constantly changing throughout the day. Not everyone can say they come to work with their office looking one way, then leave with it taking on an altered appearance.
The RMK Headquarters offers employees a memorable place to work.
