Article source: NAN Arquitectos The program was simple: an office for attorneys to receive clients in a small space. Our functional option was to design a structure that met the most important needs at a professional level, so we introduced a large work table that centered the whole project. The computers are on one side of the table and, at the same time, in the other side there is space for work meetings.  Image Courtesy © Iván Casal Nieto

In this way, and taking advantage of the existing partition, we introduced planes with the same characteristics, although changing the material to emphasize their function. We are talking about the storage and restroom area. It is a diaphanous space, without any type of division. The bathroom and storage are the only hidden spaces, although it was done in an integrative manner. We did it by introducing a sculptural piece that is diluted in the inclined planes that come from the ceiling. The materials used are mainly pine wood and white lacquered wood. By using these materials, we aimed to create a contrast between the existing partitions in white and the natural wood. Despite being a small project, a significant effort of design is carried out. It can be seen mainly in the central table and in the volume that surrounds the toilet.

It has a large dimension and a lot of weight supported by elements of different dimensions that, in some cases, cross from one side to another to create continuity. We also incorporated a shelf in the table to create another point of support. The space where the restroom and the small storage are located grows and opens as if it were a tree to the ceiling, which gives an organic touch to the project. This is completed with a perimeter of shelves and storage for the workspace which also encloses it in a formal level. A perforated white wooden panel that serves as a coat hanger and hides the electrical panel was also created as a useful and functional accessory. It is a comprehensive architecture project. From the environment to the furniture, it has been designed to create a homogeneous image: a brand image.
