The clients of this company request a more open workspace with small shared rooms. One of the constraints is the need for storage. To achieve this, a large elongated 'L'-shaped cabinet is placed, covering the entire back of the space laterally. Within this, some small extraction interventions are made, moving some of the storage modules forward to create common use areas in the intermediate space. We are talking about meeting areas, a cafeteria, a photocopier, etc.

The movement of the pieces leaves on the floor a cold trace of metallic blue, contrasting with the warmth of Austrian oak, reminiscent of the native landscape of the company's country. The smooth floor is made of rubber, combining very well with lacquered wooden panels. Therefore, an interesting contrast of textures is produced, which, along with improved lighting, creates a much more pleasant environment.
