OFFICE RENOVATION SPACE LAMARQUE
AN OFFICE RENOVATION THAT CONNECTS WITH THE COMPANY
The project for the new offices in Seville of Rocknrolla Producciones, a promoter of cultural and musical events, arises from the very essence of modernity and dynamism that guides the company.
In the first visit we made to the raw space we found a space of 4m high and more than 13m deep with a single facade facing north, two longitudinal naves and 5 transversal bays, illuminated by two skylights.
A part of the space that adjoined the roofs had had recurrent problems with leaks, so the space had an aged patina that we found very attractive.
The renovation sought to create a space that reflected the identity of the company, a balance between the pre-existing, which represents the non-commercial cultural and musical world in which it moves, and the sophisticated, which reflects the good work and elegance of the brand.
PASSIVE SOLUTIONS
Despite the tight program of needs that the client marked us, another clear idea that we had to improve the functionality of the offices was that a space with so
much depth and that was going to function as a work space had to have a patio.
In this way, the advantages of a south orientation would be used to introduce natural light, cross ventilation would be allowed, and it would serve as a visual escape space for the users of the space.
These are passive solutions that help us save electricity and improve the comfort and well-being of the user at almost zero cost.
LEVERAGING THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE SPACE
Finally, we took advantage of the distribution of the naves and the bays to establish two heights in the space. One of the naves would collect the more contained program with lower height and the other the more open and flexible program, which would take advantage of the full height of the space.
In this second bay, the access to the space, the lobby and the new patio were introduced, so that a complete reading of the offices could be made from its entrance. To reinforce this idea, we used the resource of the arch and the wire barrel vault that is recognizable from the access facade to the patio.
NATURAL MATERIALS AND IN THEIR SIMPLEST EXPRESSION
In line with the company's values, a palette of natural materials is used for the renovation that, together with vegetation and natural light, generate a pleasant environment to go motivated.
The height of the space is organized into two parts. A baseboard that is materialized with a more formal style, finished elements with fine finishes. And a higher area with a more decadent style leaving the new materials natural or recognizing the previous aged patina.
CUSTOM ELEMENTS
Lighting, office ceilings and some loose furniture are designed to measure. They are manufactured from simple resources that end up creating an intentional trompe l'oeil that seeks to continue mixing brutalism with sophistication.
A SPACE THAT CARES FOR THE TEAM
In the end, in the project we have followed the guidelines that we have followed in other office renovation projects that we have carried out, that is, to maintain the balance between comfort and functionality to generate a coherent and representative image of the company with the objective of achieving a workspace that helps to care for the well-being of the user and improves the productivity of the team.
