The new corporate offices for Paga Todo presented a particular challenge because it was necessary to adapt to the clients demands and a 2,000 sq m area in a shopping center.

Inside the box were located the reception, support area and interview halls, on top of it –with a panoramic view of the finance area- the personalized area to serve the dealers.

This space has all the necessary services and it is a nice surprise for the visitors because there are screen, complimentary computers with Internet, snacks and drinks.  Image Courtesy Héctor Armando Herrera The staircase was located in the vertex of the project in order to communicate with the upper level, opening a new entrance of light from above and making more interesting this meeting point for the colleagues.

White, beige shades with accents in a dry green and the oak of the furniture and woodwork. Three sections with meeting halls divide the space generating references and transitions between the work cells.

Large windows facing the interior of the shopping center were also installed to make references in the main corridor. The windows have random size and create a sequence with the transition of each of the work teams.
