Avila Offices is an office interior design in Barcelona. The project renovates the common areas of a seven storey office building with about 1,100 square meters on each floor. The office area covers 1,062 square meters. A new open lobby replaces conventional commercial solutions. A green wall runs from the facade into the interior and invites pedestrians to enter.

- The elements of the interior furniture (chairs, tables, reception furniture, ...) and lamps are specially designed for this project with raw steel and wood as the main materials.

- Design Challenge
- All common spaces of the building are reformed (lobby, stairs, reception, bathrooms, solarium cover, ...) A new diaphanous lobby is proposed, avoiding conventional commercial solutions. The proposal maintains coherence both in terms of form and in the use of materials and construction systems.

- Inspiration
- This new reform was proposed to give the building more open and contemporary spaces. The exterior penetrates into the building, enhancing the feeling of tranquillity, well-being, and health. Spaces were designed as places not only to work but to be enjoyed, talked, shared ... Yet, suitable for synergies to arise and encourage motivation and creativity.
- Project Duration
- January 2019, Barcelona.
- Operation Flow
- Spaces are transformed into pleasant and healthy places, well-lit and ventilated. A harmonious combination of elements and materials. Open and flexible spaces are generated in their use.
