The project has drafted a layout which aims to promote a feeling of spaciousness, creating a continuous space compartmentalized only through the precise positioning of furniture and glass partitions that visually connect the different rooms.

A central beam provides the storage space required for workspaces and space for air-conditioning and ventilation equipment. The material aspect of the project is characterized by the use of a continuous concrete floor, which connects every room of the office and harmonizes with the brushed stainless steel frames of the partitions. The stone used to build the bench located in the hall is intended to create a contrast with the pavement and accentuates its uniqueness.

We understood that society demanded that architects provide architecture that was capable of standing up to periods of crisis and optimizing resources in order to obtain higher quality at a lower cost.

The Cointec offices have been created from that perspective, so that the expressiveness of the space is a result of the proportions, materials and light.”  Image Courtesy © David Zarzoso  Image Courtesy © David Zarzoso  Image Courtesy © David Zarzoso  Image Courtesy © David Zarzoso Image Courtesy © David Zarzoso  Image Courtesy © David Zarzoso  Image Courtesy © DOT PARTNERS ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN  Image Courtesy © DOT PARTNERS ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN
