Ilerna Online Training Offices in Lleida, Spain by Alfred Garcia Gotós EstudiJune 14th, 2018 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Alfred Garcia Gotós Estudi The project consisted in the renovation of old military headquarters built in the middle of the 20th century in Turo de Gardeny in Lleida, the area to be worked on consisted in three floors with some 600 m² floor, with a clear rationalistic disposition of pillars and structure related to the military period. The project consisted in the preparation and creation of a new corporate image, in relation to the interior space, in order to be able to provide a location for ILERNA ONLINE professional training offices.

Stairwell heights or reinforced concrete floors, the little that remained after partial work had taken place.  Image Courtesy © Fernando Alda  Image Courtesy © Fernando Alda We therefore, started with the combination of three unique materials, white wood, wood for ceilings and grey floor tiles.  Image Courtesy © Fernando Alda  Image Courtesy © Fernando Alda We used 3×3 white slats, which embraced the whole area and illuminated spaces both on the west and south side, which bathed the offices and central corridors in light, plus created different textures of changing shadows.

Image Courtesy © Fernando Alda  Image Courtesy © Fernando Alda We decided to leave the stairwell perimeter floors exposed, to save the 4.50 m in height and hide the zenithal lighting, and therefore, help the volume of the stairs distribution area stand out, and at the same time lowered the ceilings for increased proportional, visual and acoustic comfort with 2.50 in common areas and circulation areas, avoiding purely office type materials and preferring domestic ones, as well as looking for a dialogue between more friendly materials, and the transfer of increased friendliness, comfort and visual warmth to the workplace.
