The Ytong bloc was a 2 in 1 solution providing the required comfort levels as well an expressive finishing solution for the interior and exterior image. The infrastructures that supports the firms operation (electric, mechanic and network) were used as an expressive element in the space character and program organization.

The plan of the addition organize around the patio the cafeteria, informal auditorium and training room. The entrance was set over the main road, Av Brasil. The path to the work areas forces the cross of the social areas in order to motivate the team building efforts.

The interior aims to connect with the corporative image of Outsystems as well generate an character for this office. The materials, colors and furniture were decide in coherence with the brand guidelines. The teams and employees were challenged to contribute in the space process. The slide idea was an internal suggestion that the firm has welcomed in the office. The Artist Vanessa Teodoro was invited to develop a graphic wall based in the values and culture of Outsystems.
