OFFICE RENOVATION COMBINES CONCRETE, WOOD, AND BRICK IN A MODERN AND FLUID SPACE

Goiva as Architects

São Paulo, 2024 - In search of a space that reflected their architectural identity,
Goiva Arquitetura found a new location with a homely feel without losing the necessary functionality of a modern office.

The chosen site, located in a historic building constructed with concrete and wood and surrounded by green areas, matched their desired essence. The connection was immediate, and few changes were needed to adapt the space to the company's needs.

The renovation prioritized creating two distinct environments that are not completely isolated, allowing for maintained circulation: a space with workstations and another for meetings and receptions.

To maintain integration, a multifunctional shelf was the solution. On one side, niches accommodate books, material samples, and a coffee station, while on the other, they organize office supplies and ongoing projects.

In the décor, the color palette reinforces the brand's identity, with green and orange featured in the furniture and rug details, harmonizing with the white tables and the wood of the frames and shelf. The meeting table is a standout piece, made of Verde Guatemala stone.

Finally, complementing the environment, the polished concrete floor was preserved, as well as the brick wall, which was painted white to match the office's visual identity.
