CONIF Headquarters
To renovate the headquarters of a National Council, one must consider its particular location and the legalities of civil construction within public bid conditions. For starters, the site is located within a 1973 building named after and designed by Oscar Niemeyer. As expected, the main structure boasts sharp geometric angles and propels every rulebook from brutalism on its, simple but very direct, façade. Brasília is a city that does not play in middle grounds, the modern heritage is either very explicit or there is none. In this case, the modernism casts a long shadow.
The stage was set for 1:1 to take over of the renovation of the 329smq site. As a friendly nod to Brazilian modernist heritage, head architect Eduardo Sainz, carefully planned a workplace environment beaming with Brazilian design pieces, known for their woodwork and geometric sensibilities; such as Sérgio Rodrigues, Paulo Alves, Jader Almeida, among others. Furthermore, the color palette remained subdued to complement beautiful concrete installed throughout the institution. As burnt cement reigns supreme on walls, the industrial aesthetics sets in.
Lilian Glayna, the other creative half of 1:1, cleverly employed industrial elements such as weathering steel on stairs and handrails, on the logo and on lighting; conveying a much needed personality to often anonymous National Council workplaces. As every room and partition were put to good use, there isn’t one space that didn’t benefit design wise from handpicked furniture or unexpected materials.
Brutalism, modernism and industrial aesthetics cooperated in harmony; elevating what could have been a simple Council to a real case study of what architecture can be about in Brasília. Meaningful and functional with predilection for great design.
