Tini HQ

The new headquarters of tini were born from a double challenge: to accommodate a

young company dedicated to industrialized architecture —with an average age of 27—

and to translate its unique character into a physical space.

A place that would be elegant yet disruptive, serious but young, and above all, inviting

to creativity.

The intervention begins with the merging of two previously compartmentalized offices.

The key operation consists in freeing the space and enhancing natural light to create an

open, flexible and bright floor plan. A continuous and folded shelving system organizes

the program in a fluid way: it generates distinct but connected environments where

spontaneous conversations can occur.

The existing space was conditioned by two long windows with radically opposite views.

On one side, the east façade facing the building’s inner courtyard: a harsh view, without

vegetation or any interest. On the other, the west façade with an uninterrupted view

of the treetops—plane trees, pines and cedars—of the La Florida development, an

elevated panorama that changes with the seasons.

This completely conditions the intervention.

On the less pleasant façade, the meeting rooms are grouped, closed toward the central

space by a partition of wooden ribs and backlit translucent polycarbonate, finished

with bamboo blinds. This softens the view without sacrificing brightness.

In contrast, the entire central space opens completely to the green view, even placing

mirrors strategically so that every workstation, regardless of its position, can enjoy the

landscape.

The materiality responds to tini’s philosophy: constructive sincerity, warmth, and an

industrial language without artifices.

The first gesture is to remove the existing carpet and leave the galvanized steel raised

floor completely exposed, turning it into a vibrant and honest surface. This industrial

character is balanced by wood in partitions, doors, furniture and details that provide a

warm and friendly counterpoint.

The orange paneling and recycled PET acoustic cladding, in subtle variations of tini’s

orange, create a chromatic thread consistent with the company’s brand book. The final

touch comes with lush plants, such as the large alocasia, which brings atmosphere and

visual freshness.

The result is a warm, bright and welcoming environment where you feel like working.

A space that does not seek to replicate a tini project, but rather to evoke the same

feeling they aim for in their architecture: simplicity, honesty, ultimately a welcoming

space that invites you to stay.
