In 2016, the Grammarly Kyiv team grew and decided to move to a bigger space. Due to the nature of operations, the company required a variety of spaces for different activity types, including: A large conference hall with 150 seating capacity, for lectures and presentations (aka a meet-up zone); a number of small meeting rooms equipped with IT devices for quality audio and video conferences between offices across the globe; reception zone; a soundproof recreation room; canteen for employees; nap room; several lounge zones; and facilities areas. Other requirements included eco-friendly materials, warm colour palette and homely feel of the interior; high-tech solutions for conference connection and electrification systems, as well as flexibility and adaptability of space.
The original office area, occupying the top two-level floor of a 14-storey office building, consisted of two levels, with the ground level featuring 8.8m-high ceiling and 1,300sq m of open space, and the mezzanine level with a 3m-high ceiling and 450sq m of space.
