Randstad Gearbox was born as a training center mainly dedicated to young talents ready to enter the world of high range automotive. The mission entrusted to us by the Client was to create a flexible space, with a gritty yet sophisticated character.
Therefore, the project aims to convey a bold yet refined identity in line with the values and aesthetics of the highend car industry. The space wants to communicate energy and dynamism, but also elegance, transforming the passion for technology and innovation into visual concepts. The use of technical details (visible systems) and bold
color choices (black, gray, yellow) makes an immediate connection to the imagery of supercars. In addition, geometric elements such as the lamp with hexagonal modules inspired by the carbon molecule complete the reference to iconic aspects of racing car materials and shapes.
The beating heart of the project is the central hall, designed as a modern flexible and multifunctional amphitheater. The tribune, made of perforated metal sheet and featuring a distinctive design and color, are on wheels so they can be moved as needed. The flexibility allows the space to be experienced in “Off” mode in daily use (the hall becomes a gathering, recreational and socializing area for students, an informal place to spend time, of relaxation or discussion) but it also lends itself to be used in “On” mode (the tribunes are rearranged to create a small arena where events can be created or presentations, workshops, talks can be attended). In addition to the central hall, the training center host two large classrooms, an office, a meeting room, and various services. From the entrance to the common spaces, each room stays true to the concept and emphasizes its values by integrating with bright lettering and logos.
SPAZIOSP supported the Randstad Group in all phases necessary for the opening: design concept, study of custom furnishings, development of the executive design, construction management as well as supervision of the installation of office furniture.
