Functionality:

The proposal was developed with a focus on functionality and the ability to adapt to the diverse needs of the team.

The kitchen, bathroom, and storage areas are strategically located at the rear of the building, discreetly concealed by a system of curtains that screen the functional spaces. This design choice allows the main workspace to remain prominent, organized, and uncluttered.

The kitchen, bathroom, and storage areas are strategically located at the rear of the building, discreetly concealed by a system of curtains that screen the functional spaces. This design choice allows the main workspace to remain prominent, organized, and uncluttered.

Workstations are arranged around a large communal table, fostering fluid circulation and encouraging the exchange of ideas among team members. This open and functional layout creates a dynamic and flexible environment, ideal for stimulating creativity and collaboration.

Flexibility:

The main area is an open and multifunctional space where two zones coexist: one dedicated to collaborative work around the communal table and the other designed for more dynamic activities. The open layout and simple furniture favor the exchange of ideas allow the space to adapt to various needs, making it suitable for both individual and group tasks.

This space has the capacity to be easily transformed to accommodate different activities, ranging from informal meetings and relaxation moments to meals and social events. Additionally, the use of curtains brings a domestic and personal character to the environment, enabling the reconfiguration of the space based on what is needed. This approach not only enhances functionality but also creates an atmosphere where people feel comfortable and confident.
