NTVS Service

Ntvs Service is an education center created through cooperation between a school and a car brand. The 230 square meter interior is divided into four areas: an implementation area, a reception area, a conference room and a customer lounge. The implementation area includes an automobile maintenance zone, where students practice real after-sales service tasks. Metal grilles, geometric forms and layered lighting replace the look of a standard classroom. Environmentally friendly and non-toxic building materials were selected throughout.
