The project for one’s own workplace, as well as for one’s own house, always represents a special occasion for every architect. First of all, the selection of the location, a former monastery in the city centre which fascinated us immediately for its typological peculiarities, a site that was transformed through the centuries up to now and in which we saw the potential to accommodate even now a new and different function. The two main rooms on the ground floor have separate entrances and includes a rather cozy room directly overlooking the road, equipped with sofas and a projector and used both for meetings with clients as a relaxation area, and a larger space where the workstations find place. The latter corresponds to a smaller cloister of the monastery that was saturated by the urban pattern densification, creating a large space with an incredible natural lighting.
The design for the “Light Box” worktable comes from the desire to create a real focal and functional point in the room where the workstations are allocated. To do this, the idea was to place a single large object in the centre of the room, integrating here as many functions as possible – from worktop, lighting, electrical and internet system, remote access control to the ventilation system for the basement – allowing at the same time to maintain visual contacts among the eight workstations that can be accommodated as maximum capacity. The structure consists of a metal frame covered with translucent polycarbonate panels, removable for inspection and maintenance, and supports a countertop of MDF panels upholstered with eco-leather. The tabletop is in turn connected with the structure through a series of wells, also in polycarbonate and of different sizes, the largest of which is linked directly to the lower floor through a discontinuity in the existing floor, and can be opened or closed to create a stack effect up to the roof. The wiring necessary to plug sockets, lighting and network derive from the main system, taking advantage of the elevated floor.
