BNP Paribas Hub

The new BNP Paribas Hub is a project born out of the Group’s desire to centralise the majority of its teams in a single location, which until now have been dispersed throughout various areas of Lisbon. Situated within Lisbon’s Parque das Nações, the Hub occupies three buildings of the EXEO business complex – Aura, Echo, and Lumnia.

The Interior Architecture project was based on an in-depth and rigorous Workplace Design strategy study, both led by Openbook.

In a day-to-day life in which everything happens at breakneck speed, it is essential to ensure that we adapt to change and focus on what is important. This was the motto behind the Highlighted Workplace concept created by Openbook for the new BNP Paribas HUB.

Based on this concept, the highlighted zones are spaces for contact and communication, which are interspersed with spaces for focus and concentration and give rhythm and compartmentalisation to the office as a whole.

This project was conceived with the flexibility of the spaces in mind, creating versatility while maintaining a sophisticated and sober atmosphere. We drew firm lines that are functionally molded into this dichotomy of empty/full for flexible moments.

In the various spaces that will be created, the new BNP Paribas HUB will also have an auditorium, training rooms, multi-purpose rooms, a medical centre, cafeterias, terraces and a floor dedicated to events.
