About Nubank Corporate interior

The design concept, based on the social network as a support for liquid modernity, reflects a conscious adaptation to the changing demands of the environment. In this sense, the design of this social network stands as a creative response to the tensions and paradoxes of the contemporary era, providing a meeting space that balances the need for constant adaptation with the pursuit of genuine and meaningful relationships. One of the challenges of the project was to ensure that each room, every corridor, and every corner, in general, became part of the conceptual narrative and was unique.

Design Details

Unique Properties
Nubank is a financial technology company that offers services through a digital platform. Throughout the design development process, we faced the challenge of establishing a coherent thread that connected spatial narrative with the company's purpose and mission. As a fintech, Nubank is focused on providing a more accessible, transparent, and efficient banking experience for people, especially those who have faced traditional barriers in the banking system.
Inspiration
The design concept is built on creating a social network that acts as a solid framework, capable of supporting and embracing the liquid modernity we find ourselves immersed in today. This network not only symbolizes the interconnection between individuals but also the intersection of the speed of modern life and the need for a solid support system that provides stability and security.
Research
The design of this social network stands as a creative response to the tensions and paradoxes of the contemporary era, providing a meeting space that balances the need for constant adaptation with the pursuit of genuine and meaningful relationships.
Challenge
One of the challenges of the project was to ensure that each room, every corridor, and every corner, in general, became part of the conceptual narrative and was unique, creating a sense of surprise as one moved through the space.
Realization and Technology
The careful balance struck between traditional craftsmanship and cutting edge technology not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also reflects a commitment to creating a cohesive, adaptable, and technologically advanced workspace in tune with the demands of contemporary work dynamics.
Operation and Interaction
This design not only optimizes workflow but also reinforces the idea that transparency and the exchange of ideas are essential in this era of constant change and connectivity. Here, where boundaries blur, everyone has a voice in creating a productive and cohesive environment.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in August 2022 and finished in August 2023, It is located Blvd Manuel Avila Camacho 201, Polanco, Miguel Hidalgo, 11560 Mexico City
