A Tour of Hortonworks’ Modern Office in Budapest

Software management company Hortonworks hired interior design firm GASPARBONTA to design their third office in Budapest, Hungary.

“Always had a stange feeling, when I heard “third time’s the charm”. What is so different about the third time? What gives the third try a special buzz? Well, I was about to find it out, when Hortonworks contacted us about a possible new project, the third office in the same building on different floors. Really interesting challange. I made up my mind and came up with a plan. The first office tried to give a small local startup a visual boost, a playgorund, a fun new way to roll. The second one tried to show the world, that this little company grew and became a part of a big company and a great community, what needed a bigger playground. But now, the third office is about all the professional aspects of this large international company, what just merged with its biggest competitor, becoming the leader in their field. Trying to depict this evolution on design level, we turned all aspects of the previously playful and cheering interior to a professional workspace with slight resemblance to the others, with materials, lights, colors,” says Gaspar Bonta, a lead designer of GASPARBONTA
