Architecture's Agency's Office

The goal of this project was to create a stimulating workplace for the employees but also a fascinating place for potential clients and visitors, in order to show them the ability of the Agency to create extraordinary, stunning spaces.

On the first floor the work environment is an open-plan space supported by special structures of considerable visual impact, intended for meetings and recreation.

Here the space is articulated by the conjunction of three elements: a sculptural structure which serves as an informal meeting room for the staff (the "C Shape"), a small exhibition area for technical meetings and to display projects and materials to clients, which serves also for temporary exhibitions set up by the employees, and a small, secluded room (the "Secret Room") which is a space to relax and concentrate.

On the second floor there are the meeting rooms for clients and a break area for staff; here the atmosphere is more formal, although enlivened by the striking presence of the embossed cantilevered roof located at the top of the stairs, where there is, in addition, a large vertical garden on the wall, creating a dramatic effect on the visitors who come up from the lower floor.
