RC OFFICE | Porto | 2019

The area of intervention is made up of two adjacent units in a monotonous office Building in Porto. The area is defined by a 10,5 by 8,5 meters rectangle with all windows oriented west and the entrance on the opposite side. The program consisted of one reception area with access to a kitchenet and bathroom and to two offices connected to a meetings and exhibition area.  Absolute freedom regarding aesthetics, in an office that will host activities connected to sports, allowed for the experimentation of various finishes and lighting options.  A virtual mesh of 0,50 x0,50 meters was created to anchor the project, in which all spaces were designed in a structured and yet fluid way. All boundary walls are lined with cabinets that re... More
