Project Overview
IDO was responsible for the project from initial site assessment through concept development, detailed design, production, project management, and final installation.
The Challenge
- Strong alignment with UBB and KBC Group brand standards
- Efficient customer service operations
- Clear functional zoning
- Contemporary workplace aesthetics

IDO's Approach
Following a detailed site survey and analysis of the existing conditions, the team developed a concept tailored specifically to the operational and brand requirements of UBB.
Through close collaboration with the client, the project evolved from initial design concepts and spatial planning into a fully detailed and coordinated implementation package. Throughout the process, particular attention was given to functionality, customer experience, ergonomics, material quality, and long-term durability.
Solution
Development of a modern banking environment focused on customer comfort and operational efficiency.
Brand Integration
Implementation of UBB and KBC Group brand standards throughout the space through materials, colors, graphics, and customer touchpoints.
Interior Elements
Design, production, and installation of custom interior solutions tailored to the specific requirements of the branch.
Project Management
End-to-end coordination covering design, procurement, production, logistics, installation, and quality control.
Key Deliverables
- Site analysis and measurement
- Concept development
- Space planning
- 3D visualization and rendering
- Detailed technical design
- Material specifications
- Custom interior production
- Project management
- Installation and commissioning
Results
The project demonstrates IDO Design’s ability to manage workplace and customer experience projects from concept through implementation while maintaining control over quality, budget, and delivery timelines.
Why This Project Matters
The project showcases expertise in:
- Banking environments
- Workplace design
- Brand implementation
- Customer experience design
- Design-build delivery
- Project management
- Custom production and installation
The successful delivery of the project reflects IDO’s long-standing experience supporting leading banking and financial organizations across Bulgaria.
The initial project assessment focuses on understanding the site through a detailed review of project documentation and an on-site survey of all architectural and structural features. Photographic documentation and accurate measurements of the space are essential at this stage, as they help prevent design and implementation issues in later phases.
Based on this analysis, we prepare preliminary drawings that serve as a foundation for discussions about future layouts and the specific needs of each client. We present different creative approaches, color schemes, and spatial solutions while reviewing all requirements outlined in the brief.
Expertise:
- Comprehensive analysis of all submitted project documentation
- On-site survey and photographic documentation of the space
- Coordination with responsible parties and other contractors involved in the project (architects, draftsmen, main contractors, and subcontractors)
Results:
- Site zoning and spatial organization
- Identification of key functional and spatial areas
- Reference concepts, solutions, and visual inspiration
This phase is where we immerse ourselves in the core idea of the project and begin defining its overall framework in terms of form, function, operational efficiency, and buildability.
Through a creative and strategic approach, we translate our clients’ expectations into strong, recognizable concepts. At the same time, we develop multiple design directions, allowing for informed selection of a concept that is both individual and distinctive, while remaining feasible for implementation.
Expertise:
- Research and analysis of global design and industry trends
- Development of initial design proposals and indicative budgets
- Coordination with all project participants, including draftsmen, principal contractors, and subcontractors
- Following project approval, preparation of a detailed budget and preliminary implementation timeline
Results:
- 3D modeling of proposed solutions
- 3D renderings – photorealistic, computer-generated visualizations of the design concepts
At this stage, our design team begins to refine and detail the individual design elements. Starting from the core concept, we develop multiple supporting ideas that work together to express the project’s identity – spatially, functionally, and ergonomically.
Through this process, we translate the “big idea” into a coherent and achievable design solution, ensuring the best balance between creativity, usability, and feasibility.
Expertise:
- Development of the working concept
- Cost analysis and feasibility evaluation
- Ongoing communication and coordination with the client
Results:
- Key elevations
- Definition of key interior elements
- Material selection and detailed specifications
- Furniture selection and specifications
- Design coordination
During the detailed design stage, we develop comprehensive technical drawings and material specifications based on the approved schematic design. The process begins with the key design elements; following cost evaluation, we select additional elements and materials that complement the design while remaining within the established budget.
The outcome is a complete and coordinated set of technical drawings and material specifications that align with the overall layout, spatial volumes, and functional requirements of the project, ready for manufacturing and production.
Expertise:
- Selection of materials and preparation of detailed specifications
- Development of technical and production drawings within the approved budget
- 3D photorealistic renderings with finalized material and color selections
- Coordination of production and implementation schedules
Results:
- Photorealistic computer-generated images of the finalized project
- Technical drawings and specifications prepared for manufacturing and production
At this stage, we add an additional level of precision and refinement to the detailed design, incorporating any site-specific or atypical conditions, as well as revisions resulting from client feedback or budget adjustments.
The outcome is a fully coordinated and finalized set of technical drawings that define the overall layout and spatial volumes of the project. All elements and materials are confirmed and aligned with both the client and the main contractor.
The finalized project documentation serves as the foundation for manufacturing and implementation, whether executed in-house or by selected subcontractors.
Expertise:
- Preparation of a complete and finalized set of technical drawings
- Final cost verification and confirmation
Results:
- Final selection of furniture
- Coordination with consultants and external partners
- CAD and PDF technical drawings ready for production
During this phase, we oversee the entire process of production, delivery, and installation of all project elements, whether executed by our in-house teams or in collaboration with trusted partners and subcontractors.
The project manager is present on-site to supervise installation quality and ensure full compliance with the approved project specifications. Where necessary, timely decisions are made to address on-site conditions or adjustments while maintaining the integrity of the design.
Expertise:
- On-site supervision and presence
- Quality control throughout implementation
- Coordination of deliveries and installation schedules
- Resolution of issues arising during on-site execution
Results:
- Organized and coordinated deliveries
- Monitoring and documentation of the implementation process
- Final project documentation and records of completed works
