S OFFICES
S Offices is the project for a illuminotechnical company placed in Catania. The first need of representative values for the head offices of a prestigious company became the way to develop a critical thought about the workplaces, a central theme of the national architectural debate.
Our answer is: neither open spaces, nor enclosed rooms, giving attention to meeting spaces for sharing ideas and projects.
The new design of the planimetrical configuration breaks up the conventional straight sternness of the classical scheme - corridor+rooms - and creates a dynamic “multi perspective” space expanding and twitching in a flexible, continuous movement with several transparencies, reflections, materials and visuals.
This is the place for meetings and sharing that makes the operative rooms free from the isolation of enclosed spaces thanks to a continuous eye contact between the environments.
Light is one of the main element of the project that adds further layer of complexity: a mixitè of typologies, colors, temperatures, and the optical effects on the reflective surfaces lead to the dematerialization of the curved surfaces.
