The GPAINNOVA offices, housed within a typical industrial warehouse, underwent a transformative renovation led by Manu Pages Taller d’Arquitectura. While the existing structure boasted generous interior volumes, its architectural appeal was limited. The challenge lay in infusing the space with personality and representativeness while capitalizing on its inherent spatial qualities.
Maximizing Interior Volumes
The interior adaptation of the warehouse aimed to create a vibrant and functional workspace conducive to collaboration and productivity. A transparent and open layout was envisioned, promoting visual connectivity among employees. Glass partitions were strategically employed to maintain transparency while ensuring a sense of openness throughout the office. Large-format plant elements, integrated with skylights, punctuated the space, adding greenery and natural light.
Enhancing Environmental Comfort
The introduction of green attraction points not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the office but also contributed to environmental comfort. These elements served multiple purposes, acting as focal points, creating waiting areas, and providing spaces for informal meetings. Additionally, they fostered cross-reflective views, enriching the spatial experience with dynamic interplays of light, vegetation, and reflections.
Programmatic Interactions
The strategic placement of these green elements facilitated programmatic interactions within the office. They delineated zones with varying degrees of privacy, accommodating meeting tables, informal gathering spots, and collaborative work areas. This thoughtful arrangement fostered a sense of diversity within the workspace, catering to the multifaceted needs of employees.
Evolving Atmosphere
As daylight filtered through skylights and interacted with the greenery, the office atmosphere evolved throughout the day. The interplay of light and vegetation created a dynamic and sensitive ambiance, enriching the sensory experience for occupants. This ever-changing environment mirrored the passage of time, infusing the workspace with vitality and vitality.
The revitalization of the GPA Offices stands as a testament to the transformative power of thoughtful design. By harnessing the existing spatial qualities and integrating elements of greenery and transparency, Manu Pages Taller d’Arquitectura has reimagined a conventional industrial space into a dynamic and inspiring workplace.
