Interior of a modern, minimalistic room with white walls, beige curtains, built-in shelving, and a potted plant.

THE CLIENTS WERE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO WORK CALMLY, A SPACE CAPABLE OF RELIEVING THE DAILY STRESS OF THEIR COMPANY. A SERENE REFUGE IN THE MIDST OF EVERYDAY ACTIVITY.

Modern, minimalist conference room with a long white table, white office chairs on wheels, built-in white shelves with decorative items, large window with beige curtains, and pendant lights on the ceiling.

NEUTRAL MATERIALS, A CONTINUOUS FLOORING THAT FLOWS WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, IRON- FRAMED JOINERY, AND A SOFT LIGHT THAT ACCOMPANIES WITHOUT IMPOSING ITSELF. AT THE CENTER, A LARGE TABLE THAT EMBRACES EVERYTHING: DAILY WORK, INTENSE MEETINGS, SPONTANEOUS CONVERSATIONS, AND PRESENTATIONS THAT FILL THE ROOM.

A CURTAIN RUNS ALONG THE ENTIRE EXTERIOR PERIMETER, SOFTENING THE DAYLIGHT, ADDING INTIMACY, AND REFINING THE ACOUSTICS. INSIDE, EVERYTHING SOUNDS CLEARER.

ALMOST IN THE CENTER OF THE PREMISES STOOD A STRUCTURAL BEAM OF THE BUILDING. AN ELEMENT THAT ONCE LIMITED THE RENTAL POTENTIAL OF THE SPACE. THIS STRUCTURAL INHERITANCE FROM A MULTI-STORY BUILDING, WHICH AT FIRST SEEMED AN OBSTACLE, BECAME AN ALLY. FROM ITS LINE EMERGED A LONG BENCH THAT ORGANIZES THE SPACE AND NATURALLY DEFINES THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE WORK AREA AND THE MEETING ROOM.
