Upstar, located in Torre Zen at Parque das Nações, is responsible for managing the content of ZAP, a leading television operator in Angola and Mozambique. To renovate its office, Upstar tasked Vector Mais with developing a design and build project aimed at modernizing a dated and less functional workspace.
The architecture team at Vector Mais utilized the spacious area by dividing the office into several distinct zones: reception, open space, meeting rooms, private offices, and a cafeteria.
The project prioritized reusing much of the existing furniture and creating a sense of flow through the use of striking architectural features, such as sculpted ceilings. A central work island was introduced, featuring a column surrounded by preserved plants, complemented by circular lighting and recycled PET elements that serve both aesthetic purposes and acoustic control.
The cafeteria plays a crucial role in this project, functioning as both a social area and an auditorium. With the aid of a movable partition, the space can be divided into two areas. The wood-tone benches offer an ideal spot for breaks or for hosting team presentations, collaborative sessions, and training activities.
