For over 20 years Almanatura has been working to provide the inhabitants of small villages with the right tools against depopulation. Its headquarters, in Arroyomolinos de León, consisted of an office in an upper floor over a garage full of memories. Lacking enough space, their managers understood that the time had come for the functional expansion and aesthetic renovation of the office.

The intervention optimizes the use of the ground floor -the former garage-, proposing flexible and adaptive solutions that respond to a very demanding program of uses. This is the area of ​natural expansion of the office, it will be here where the new employees are installed. This fulfills the socializing aspirations that connect the space with the neighbors of Arroyomollinos, a main objective of the reform and crucial step for the internal cohesion of the team. The wide diversity of uses demanded the continuity of the diaphanous spatiality of the former garage. Only mobile elements are used, such as artisan blinds, to create a subtle distinction of areas.
