The challenge consisted in designing the corporate spaces for one of the most successful and renowned entrepreneurship companies in Costa Rica. Our TACTIC, was to generate an ecosystem of collaborative spaces inside a confined, closed industrial space originally thought for the mass production of ice creams, that could serve as a link between the company´s collaborators and the spatial experience. We were aiming for spaces that could foster creative thinking and teamwork to narrow people´s relationships.
As any successful entrepreneurship, the growth rhythm of the company has been accelerating rapidly and non stop, so our client demanded an open space with the potential to vary in time, flexible to the ever changing conditions of the market and their business. Our material answer aimed to be flexible and responsive, always oriented towards the company´s productivity with the use of low budget and low maintenance construction materials and finishes.
Sustainability was a key factor for our team, not only on the correct choice of construction materials but on the energy efficiency as well. Being on an industrial building with almost no contact to the exteriors, our design emphasized in utilizing the most of natural light, first so that the collaborators can always relate to the passing of time, and second to reduce energy waste and electric bills. Interior lighting was designed using different layers to detail the specific amount of light needed for each of the activities and with low energy consumption.
The program consisted in administrative spaces, finance, production and marketing, working stations for at least 15 people, meeting rooms, kitchenette and entertainment spaces.
