GASPARBONTA has designed the new offices of software development firm Hortonworks located in Budapest, Hungary.

After designing an office in 2015 for Sequence IQ, a Budapest-based development firm acquired by Hortonworks, we had the chance to continue the cooperation with the firm this year, in their recent expansion in Budapest. The new office is located in the same building, just three floors below the first one, with the same geometrical possibilities.

We went on with our original concept, to create an open, playful, welcoming environment for all employees, something like an ‘adult playground’, just like last year, only with different tools. We use simple colors on big surfaces, red, green, blue – the same colors our monitors use to generate every color. The ceiling in the open spaces is covered with a unique wallpaper we designed specifically for this project, a cloud made up from small dots. Just as the actual clouds are made up from tiny drops of water and the clouds we use in computing, which are made up from tiny bits of data.
