offices

Given the need to design a campus for the company called “Alcaraván Technological Systems”, dedicated to the development of software, hardware, and other technology-related topics, and with the information that there were 4 abandoned buildings in the city of San Juan de los Morros, Guárico state in Venezuela, the Federal Council of Government, a Venezuelan governmental entity, decided to refurbish 2 of these buildings to house the headquarters of the aforementioned company.

The architecture office Ângela Roldão, located in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, is the physical representation of what the team seeks to create in their projects. We aimed to translate into our 120m² space the influence of Portuguese architecture in our work: pure forms, asymmetrical volumes; a delicate yet complex space.

Tengbom´s new office is located in Hagastaden, a vibrant neighborhood close to Stockholms city center in an old former Factory from 1934. From the entrance, the visitor encounters a welcoming and dynamic ”Arena” with an exhibition space, inviting touchdown workstations, sofa groups, a ping pong table, a long group table, an open kitchen, and a library. Instead of a traditional reception, we have a mobile host who welcomes and guides our guests. The Arena also works well for larger events and is big enough for the whole office to congregate with two drop-down projector screens enabling presentations. A large skylight sits above the long group table. The sides of the deep recess are clad in polished stainless steel with a soft rippled structure that spreads daylight throughout the space.

In a former school in Paradisgade (Paradise Street), the Danish architecture studio found beauty in transforming and reimagining the numerous exceptional and historical details and materials. Furthermore, they have installed a small meeting room in the center of the gym, with mirror cladding reflecting the space and possessing the impact of an artwork.

42, rue Cambronne, in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, the transformation of the building constructed in the early 1970s by architect Marcel Roux to house ADOMA’s head office is complete. Reflecting the architectural practice of the time, the composition is clear and legible: a systematic facade of prefabricated concrete panels covers the different volumes.

With approximately 10,000 m² and a triple ceiling height of 15 m, the new headquarters of Nubank was designed in one of the ships of one of the old warehouses of the Votorantim group, in Vila Leopoldina, now retrofitted by the MM18 Architecture office, led by architects Marcos Caldeira and Mila Strauss. The Nubank-Spark project, as it was named, was designed based on the horizontality of the complex and its industrial structure, as well as aiming to reconcile Nubank’s commitment to integrating with local architecture and integrating the team into its culture.

This adaptive reuse project in Swan Street Richmond became the new home for our multidisciplinary design studio after we outgrew our previous location in Melbourne’s CBD. We began by evaluating the constraints of our previous studio while developing a strategy focused on a flexible work culture, new technologies, and an increased commitment to sustainability.

At the back of the plot, on the border between the park and the garden, there is a G(arden)HOUSE nestled in the green environment.
