In 2024, Two Arquitetura was invited to reinterpret the corporate entry of one of Brazil’s largest companies, a century-old conglomerate operating in the energy and logistics sectors. With an architectural gesture that reaches beyond the building’s envelope, the project The Blue Spine begins with a bold conceptual provocation: bringing the street into the lobby, fusing city and architecture into a sensory and symbolic experience of welcome, belonging, and institutional identity.
Set on a 2,000-square-meter ground floor of a corporate tower, what was once a dark, impersonal pass-through space has been completely reimagined. Two Arquitetura proposed a radical shift in spatial perception: urban sidewalks are translated into geometric floor patterns; illuminated vertical stone louvers evoke the filtered daylight that slips between buildings; and originally square columns become cylindrical, ribbed concrete forms in the brand’s signature blue—lending monumentality, flow, and immediate brand recognition.
Lighting, a defining and structuring element of the project, is guided by continuous coves and fixtures embedded within the louvers, simulating the entry of daylight through skylights. This lighting strategy not only elevates the ambiance, it turns the space into a living organism—even during times of the day or weather conditions with minimal natural light.
Materiality balances solidity and neutrality: granite and concrete, used in their most essential finishes, convey resilience and timelessness while acting as a calm backdrop to the true protagonist—the brand. Landscape design introduces a poetic counterpoint, connecting nature and architecture, softening rigid volumes, and expanding the sense of well-being and lingering presence.
Every detail—from furniture to custom millwork to surface finishes—was designed with precision, forming a palette that engages the corporate identity without lapsing into the obvious. The spatial experience is now fluid, welcoming, and symbolic, asserting a place that is at once institutional, urban, sensorial, and immersive.
The ground floor of this corporate giant ceases to be a mere thoroughfare and becomes an internal plaza: a place where city, architecture, and brand meet. The project elegantly embodies Two Arquitetura’s philosophy—transforming the environment into an extension of brand identity, making the ordinary extraordinary through a human, sensitive lens.
On the top floor of this storied Brazilian company’s headquarters, Two Arquitetura continues The Blue Spine, a 2,000-square-meter expression of prestige, performance, and institutional identity distilled into pure sophistication. Building on the language established at the ground level, the President’s Floor heightens this architectural vocabulary with even greater refinement, translating corporate power into the atmosphere, materiality, and lived experience of the place.
The brief called for a floor that would meet the formal demands of an enterprise with over 80 years of history—while weaving in sensory comfort, hospitality, and aesthetic expression. Two Arquitetura’s response blends corporate rationality and clarity with a residential soul: environments that are highly functional and technology-forward, yet warmly inviting, layered with art, texture, and light.
The reception gives way to a fluid sequence of spaces, each unfolding with specific nuances of use: executive offices, the president’s office, meeting areas, lunch rooms, and a generous boardroom—the strategic heart of the project. Here, soft tones and materials foster visual and acoustic well-being: sound-absorbing panels line the surfaces; large tensile-membrane luminaires suggest the presence of natural light; and indirect cove lighting shapes a modulated ambiance designed for long days and consequential decisions.
Wood tempers the formal language of concrete and granite—materials chosen for their strength, longevity, and institutional neutrality. In contrast, landscape elements and a curated selection of Brazilian design—objects, artworks, and signature vases—create moments of pause and familiarity. The furniture, thoroughly comfortable and finely detailed, reinforces a sense of permanence and belonging.
The columns follow the same volumetric logic as the ground floor: cylindrical, ribbed concrete forms in the institutional blue visually connect the two levels and reaffirm the project’s cohesive identity—creating, quite literally, the “blue spine” that gives the intervention its name. A previously underused area with sweeping city views was transformed into a lounge integrated with the new kitchen and dining rooms—now animated by natural light, greenery, and an inviting atmosphere that breaks the conventional rigidity of the corporate environment.
The corridor connecting the meeting rooms becomes an informal social spine, with poufs, planters, and small waiting lounges—places for pause and connection where conversations can unfold without compromising privacy.
More than an interiors project, the President’s Floor translates the corporate world into architecture that is both sophisticated and humane. Here, every design gesture—from the curve of a column to the softness of the light—communicates power with elegance and warmth. In doing so, Two Arquitetura reaffirms its technical and conceptual mastery of high-profile corporate spaces.
