This innovative and inspiring space was tailored specifically for a Global Consulting Firm’s service support office.

The design concept revolved around integrating fluid organic forms, creating spaces that not only provide functionality but also encourage collaboration and a sense of belonging. To achieve this, zones that loosen up traditional office configurations were strategically implemented, fostering agglomerations of teams for enhanced interaction and productivity.

To embed a sense of identity and local culture, the reception area paid homage to Portuguese pavement and ceramics incorporating local patterns, and creating a seamless transition between the external cityscape and the internal workspace. Additionally, biophilic elements were introduced, bringing nature indoors and promoting a healthier, more stimulating work environment.

Recognizing the importance of avoiding monotony, the spaces were diversified within the office. From quiet nooks for focused work to dynamic collaborative hubs, each area was meticulously designed to serve its unique purpose while contributing to the overall coherence of the space.

Consistency was maintained through a neutral colour palette, establishing a calm and sophisticated ambience. However, strategically placed elements deviated from the neutral tones, introducing moments of greater intensity with vibrant colours and bold patterns. This deliberate use of colour and pattern broke the monotony and infused energy into the workspace.

Inspired by the city’s dichotomy between light and dark, our design aimed to mirror this contrast within the office environment. The connection with the city and river was emphasized through carefully framed views, establishing a visual dialogue with the external environment.
