Each one presented a ‘Street’ face which expressed areas to house sculpture, art and books and a ‘court’ face which was equipped with worktops and screens set into black magnetic glass solution that maintained a monolithic expression when the screens were hibernating.

The brief required a certain number of acoustically insulated but visually transparent private workspaces, but, besides that an organizational chart of 1 senior + 4 juniors as part of a team comprised the requirement for the majority of the open office.

Considering the restricted ceiling heights, and after studying the level of natural light, we decided that establishing a monochromatic vocabulary would help expand and unify the perception of space, a homogeneous yet differentiated syntax.

Lines of light were incised into the ceiling plane, vectors that functionally linked the islands and provided a sense of continuity and movement through the space.

A double height volume linked that main work floor to the CEO’s private suite.
A single flight stair of folded stainless steel was inserted into the volume.

13 different modules were developed after multiple iterations based on the workflow, the relationship to the street, and to the module adjacent to it.

The white island is essentially the building block and varies according to changing parameters through the office.
