Space
is the main factor that determines the interior design and operation of a
company. The new corporate offices for Paga Todo presented a particular
challenge because it was necessary to adapt to the clients demands and a 2,000
sq m area in a shopping center.
A big wood box, inserted
respecting the surrounding design, greets everyday collaborators and visitors. Inside
the box were located the reception, support area and interview halls, on top of
it –with a panoramic view of the finance area- the personalized area to serve
the dealers.
The client decided
to implement in their office a lounge style cafeteria –like a hotel lobby-
because before the relocation the majority of the collaborators preferred to
work and meet in the close by cafeterias to enjoy a more relaxed ambiance. This
space has all the necessary services and it is a nice surprise for the visitors
because there are screen, complimentary computers with Internet, snacks and
drinks.
The staircase was
located in the vertex of the project in order to communicate with the upper
level, opening a new entrance of light from above and making more interesting
this meeting point for the colleagues.
The color palette
–asked by the client- is very sober and with no risk. White, beige shades with
accents in a dry green and the oak of the furniture and woodwork. Three
sections with meeting halls divide the space generating references and
transitions between the work cells.
