As a premise all the apparent structure will be maintained to reinforce the idea of ‘industrial spaces’ with collaborative areas. After reraching the first pavement, you will pass through a path in the middle of the parking lot, where is possible to see the company facade. The external wall is covered by tiles where is possible to see the LAR logo in ‘neon’. Entering in the lobby, you will be able to see a wooden cube that forms an alcove with sofas designed for quick meetings and more informal chats. Following the path it is possible to reach the coffee area, in a climate that sought to follow the DNA of LAR, a young and dynamic company.

The main thrust is in the Project concept: collaborative spaces that permeate these three areas allowing natural exchange between them. Previously, LAR was located in another corporate building in São Paulo, but in different levels, which made the integration and organizational culture more difficult.

The touch screens located at collaborative area can be used not only for meetings and presentations, but also for relaxing activities as playing video games. In this same area the team can also meets for intern events that LAR promoves. Taking advantage of the rounded beams, the project proposes the painting of their projection of on the floor. This was an creative alternative to explore the aesthetics of the Dacon Building way to think the architecture of the space.  Image Courtesy © Maíra Acayaba The project also has four meeting rooms. In two of them were installed carpet boards that climb up the walls continuing the floor pagination that gives an unusual look and collaborates with the space acoustics. Glass partitions, framed with white metal beams look as if they were free, bringing lightness to the spaces.

In addition to the blue, institutional color of the company, the orange also predominated in contrast to white, black and gray, present in the furniture, coatings and other elements of the project.
