The evolution of technology drives us to adapt the way we live, work, buy….

In this case, it is a big consolidated company that has the determination to create a new business model of e-commerce.

The project consists in providing a space for the offices of this new department within an industrial building built for logistics.

The new era and ecosystems require new ways of working and living in which the users decide how they are going to use the space.

Different types of spaces are proposed, ones more spacious and others more private, more informal…. Spaces that lead to inspiration, to creativity, spaces for concentration, for team work, for the development of ideas….working thoroughly on the relationship between all of them.

The building is located in an industrial area, a very hostile environment. For so, we decided the spaces would look into the inside of the building, creating the views and the exterior space in the interior with a big courtyard. This courtyard becomes the core of the project, organising the different spaces proposed around it.

The spaces for concentrated work were tried to be protect by locating them in the interior, more silent and calm, also allowing the communication with the logistic process. On the other side, the spaces for inspiration, more flexible, are located in the perimeter of the building working as a limit with the exterior space filtering the noise into the interior.

The project also gives solution to an exterior area thought for a fast parking. A huge structure was proposed to cover a big area that could be adapted to different uses, free of columns in the middle to give total freedom for the circulation of cars beneath it. A structure that is designed as a three-dimensional metallic net, light and white in contrast with the black industrial box.
