ESKEMA arquitectos made an interior design project for this offices answering to the brand´s specific challenges. The program was organized to have all services and private areas in the same space favoring the open space location towards the façade so everybody enjoys the view and the natural light.

The materials and setting dictate the different uses and areas of the office, the polished concrete floor was used for circulations and the reception. For the remaining areas solid colors carpet was used playing with dynamic patterns that added motion. In the meeting rooms red was selected as the main color combined with grays to enhance creativity, vitality and drive. In the working area shades of blue were used aiming for a more trustworthy and reassuring space.

Among the client’s requirements, it was very important that all the spaces were connected, although the activities and needs are different. The main challenge was to achieve a separation between the private and public areas avoiding the use barriers.

The central point and guiding principle of the project is the Town Hall, a space that reflects where the company comes from, its origins. It needed to have a direct connection to the access, for the events that are constantly done for clients, as well as with the rest of the office because it is also used as a general recreation area. This was done using a red brick wall that joins the space from the reception to the cafeteria, going through the Town Hall, providing a vast sensation. Here the lighting design was very important to achieve a warm and relaxed atmosphere where you do not feel inside an office.

The concept of including materials such as brick, ceramic tiles and wooden beams, was inspired by the headquarters of the company. The idea was to recreate the feeling of the old factories and to contrast it with the modern design of the rest of the space.

Architects, Luis Manuel Gómez Portugal and Juan Carlos Jiménez thought about the wellbeing of the users by providing different ways of working either individually, with areas for concentration, as well as collaboratively as the project includes different meeting rooms and casual gathering spaces. In addition, they followed sustainability and wellbeing best practices not in the search for any certification.
