Between diaphragms

Office interior design in Zaragoza

The offices needed a space that was capable of serving three different agents. It had to be suitable for four workers to perform their daily tasks and meet but, at the same time, the interior design had to enable the space to receive clients and other external collaborators or workers who might use the services of the new offices sporadically. These three agents also had to be able to interact with each other and, at the same time, independently.

The premises to be refurbished were a rectangular open plan whose main challenge was a set of pillars that fragmented any possibility of distribution. That is why, the project strategy was to understand the space as a single one, to avoid submitting to the existing spatial hierarchy caused by the pillars as the main distribution tool. In this way, the pillars were dignified by removing their previous plaster, highlighting and illuminating the concrete by which they were formed to become secondary actors that tell a story that is more ornamental than functional.

Once these concrete ﬁgures were recovered in the heart of the premises, the MOLES was already suitable to receive its protagonists, becoming a waiting and reception point for customers. In a natural way, enveloping the future customers, the diaphragm was born, a diaphragm stressed by the continuous movement and relationship of customers and workers For that reason and, unlike the rest of the orthogonal geometries of the premises, the interior design of this diaphragm had to be curved and comfortable, it had to pamper the beginning and ﬁnal of any company, its customers. Both

Both the furniture and the finishes chosen for the interior design project had to be bright to take advantage of as much natural light as possible. Temporary textures such as raw wood, pastel colors and vegetation were used to mitigate the hardness and timelessness of the concrete. Likewise, the lighting was hidden and decentralized to generate a homogeneous space and a new false ceiling system was devised that was perforated and allowed for greater depth in height.
