Gran Vía 69 office. Madrid

Private client

March 2008

Completed

 

The office is located in a 1960s building in the Gran Vía of Madrid.

The elongated layout of the available space with a balcony in front, allows to have almost all the furniture in the perimeter of the space, thereby taking advantage of the natural light coming through the large hole in facade, and clearing the center of the room providing amplitude, clarity and order to the resulting distribution.

A continuous white lacquered wood board runs around the side of the main room. It is the area where the different workstations are located.

On the opposite wall a front of bookshelves in also white lacquered wood contains the consultation area. Next to them we find the meeting area, which is arranged around a square table custom designed by our studio with white lacquered MDF board and steel legs.

Access, beside which a small rest area is available, is separated from the main work area by placing a semi-permeable curtains that keep privacy of the office interior, while permitting control access to the office area.
