If there is a word that sounds in all gatherings, radios, televisions and private conversations, this is WikiLeaks, the organization created by Julian Assange. Spare tell all the vicissitudes of these days on the impact of recent leaks, Assange detention and the crisis of the servers, so we refer to the press. Today we take a walk by the place that is home to some of your servers, Pionen.


The company is located in a former anti-nuclear bunker excavated under the Park Vita Bergen in Stockholm, where the stone is the protagonist and context of the area, providing a mysterious and spectacular appearance. The project is the work of Albert france-lanord architect, who found the rock as a living organism to develop their work.


The entrance from the street is a dull embedded in stone door, behind which discovers a corridor that us into a secret world. This leaves see a complex machinery that we assume is responsible for the necessary cooling systems.



Assembly area is if possible, the most spectacular stay Pionen headquarters: suspended ceiling glass structure that is accessed by a transparent gateway. A crystalline table stands in the Centre on a hole that is born of the soil, leaving view from below which runs on the table. Taped to the walls are aligned chairs, with a geometric structure in waiting to be used.

Below this there are some servers, white majority, two of them blacks (there who said that these belong to WikiLeaks) and a wide empty space which is accessed by fantasmagoric passages from stone. Various housings with monitors, keyboards are grouped around the valuable containers.


Working area tries to get some nature this bunker, interior decorating with a profusion of plants born soil alongside stone, walls painted white in the upper part of the dome to reflect the light and let the environment. In this effort to balance the feeling of confinement, sources and aquariums bring freshness and life.


Good work that has resulted in the adaptation of a space difficult and little friendly, making a cave in a place with a bit of life, which we have tried to take advantage of light, either white or dyed colors, to stop the feeling of confinement.
