Nova is a leading provider of innovative metrology (measuring) solutions used in the control of the semiconductor manufacturing process. Nova provides unique measuring solutions based on X-ray and optical measurements.

Our initial design idea was to mirror Nova’s status as a multinational company, to speak its unique language—and for this to be expressed in the design of its branches across the world.

Our design concept was inspired by the company’s content world. Advanced measurement methods were architecturally expressed in every aspect of the design, and translated into elements integrated throughout the offices. Nova’s technology uses light waves to collect information and create simulations of tiny three-dimensional structures that the human eye cannot see. An entire language is inherent in that technology—angles, triangles, and 3-D elements, which create topographical layers of varying thickness, light rays, light reflections, and optical means. It was that language which inspired the design elements.

In terms of the interior design, we aspired to create a cozy inviting space featuring natural materials, pale wood and black iron, with wall colors on a tone scale ranging from gray to white. The emphasis is on a clean, almost Scandinavian look, that corresponds with the graphic elements on the walls—all implemented with the same clean three-dimensional language.
