The wall at the entrance advertises the company brand and the site is distributed in two main areas defined by use and activity. We configured each of the spaces respecting the existing boundaries and frame of the property. Making efficient use of the width and length of the unit, we were able to provide certain distance between each space while connecting them seamlessly to each other. Keeping the number of partitions to a minimum and using different type of floor coating and color to define the activities taking place in each area.

All color combination in the project was proposed following client requirements and corporate colors. For the wardrobe we decided to use green. The working table – wall closet, represents a sunlit blue sky. The main duty in this project was to deliver baby friendly environment following current regulations.
