Located in the centre of Lisbon, the Seedrs offices translate the values and culture of the biggest crowdfunding platform in Europe, aimed at start-up and tech companies. We set three objectives when designing this project: maximising office flexibility; harmonising the design of an originally-disorderly space; and creating a strong image capable of representing the company’s young and dynamic culture. The concept came from the idea of creating a central multifunctional block which combines various spaces, from meeting points, brainstorming spaces, a Skype room or showers. The air-conditioning infrastructures are visible due to the low ceilings. This creates an industrial environment where these devices, usually hidden, take up a pr... More
