The two-floor office space with a total area of 170sqm, consists of the entrance, reception area, a closed office space and a small kitchenette and toilet on the ground floor and a conference area, an executive office, a library and toilet on the 1st floor. The architects were asked to create a warm welcoming space, in order for the logistics company to house its new offices.
As we walk through the entrance box on the ground floor, we find the monolithic structure of the reception desk that prevails in the office entrance space. Around it wraps the wooden volume containing the reception desk and staircase, which also extends to the top floor. This wooden box is the main element which penetrates the whole structure on both floors, around which the rest of the office spaces are found. Sometimes as a plain veneer surface while elsewhere as wooden louvers, this wooden box guides the visitors and gives a cozy and inviting ambience to the whole interior.
The architects employed a colour scheme consisting of oak wook surfaces and ceppo di gre marble in a neutral white background. The furniture and materials were carefully selected in order to create a minimal and harmonious interior. Ledstrip lighting is placed in between the main volumes of the space and the staircase, in order to intensify the lightness of the whole structure and separate the different materials. The big glass windows overlooking the company exterior grounds lighten all the spaces.
