EML, a subsidiary of the Marubeni Group, operates in the energy sector in Portugal. The company has a portfolio of electricity generation assets that include renewable sources and natural gas. For its new office in Lagoas Park, EML (Energy Means Life) challenged CBRE and Vector Mais, who worked in a design and build model, to bring this project to fruition. True to the company’s motto, the office space embodies energy through vibrant environments and thoughtful details.

Every area, from the reception to the meeting rooms and open space, has been carefully designed to be comfortable, functional, and visually engaging, stimulating the creativity of EML's employees and visitors. One of the most striking features of the office is the sculpted ceilings, which create a sense of dynamism and add texture and color to each space.

The color palette, which includes shades of terracotta and orange as well as cream tones, is enhanced by various wooden carpentry elements and partitions, symbolizing EML's connection to nature. Acoustic quality was also a significant consideration; wall and ceiling coverings were applied to reduce noise and reverberation. In addition to construction, Vector Mais supplied the furniture, which plays a crucial role in enhancing comfort throughout the office.
