Concept
While fulfilling the purpose of redesigning the building entrance, the intervention focuses also on the ambition to provide the building with a new image, consistent with the company's principles: efficiency, excellence and innovation. Therefore, the new volumetric aims at creating an area of very clear boundaries, a third body that comes with its own distinct geometry. The constructive impact on the existing building is residual, but it is intended that the intervention has a regenerating effect of its global image.
The intervention consists of a cylindrical wooden structure, surrounded by a white textile veil. The option of wood and fabric comes from a perspective of matter-opposition to the nearest surroundings. In contrast to the glass and metal of the large box that is the building, the comfort, warmth and textures of wood and fabric arise; natural as opposed to mechanical. It is intended to get a space able to create specific atmospheres, controlled light, a comfortable yet stylish and corporate ambiance.
The whole structure is read as an independent body that sits in this inner garden, placing itself in front of the office block. The pavilion stands in a set of wooden pilars 10m high, spaced apart, a conceptual approach to palm trees that now populate the lobby. The central core, "trunk", plays all structural and infrastructural functions: support the slabs of three floors, the staircase that winds around it and transports data and electric networks.
Space arrangements
Being divided into three floors, the project offers the user three different moments. A first space on the ground floor, the lounge, with direct contact to the building entrance, a curved sofa that follows the design of the timber frame and low-ceilinged.
Climbing the ladder that surrounds the core one arrives at the middle floor where the bar is. This space is for those who want to have a coffee or tea while waiting for a meeting or a colleague. In contrast to the first space, the bar has a generous ceiling height, giving greater dignity and environment conducive to conversation. Finally, continuing up the stairs, there is the meeting area, at the top of the structure. Standing 10m tall and looking closely at the tops of palm trees, it is the ideal place to work or have a meeting with a client.
The textile veil surrounding the wooden body, makes it a more ethereal presence that invites the user to discover it. This act of discovery justifies the intervention and enriches the whole living experience of the building in which it operates.
