About Avila Offices Kantoorinterieurontwerp

Avila Offices is een kantoorinterieurontwerp in Barcelona. Het project omvat de renovatie van de gemeenschappelijke ruimtes van een kantoorgebouw met zeven verdiepingen van elk ongeveer 1.100 vierkante meter. De kantoorruimte beslaat 1.062 vierkante meter. Een nieuwe open lobby vervangt conventionele commerciële oplossingen. Een groene wand loopt van de gevel door tot in het interieur en nodigt voorbijgangers uit om binnen te komen. Glazen wanden maken de lobby zichtbaar vanaf de straat. Meubilair en lampen werden speciaal voor dit project ontworpen in ruw staal en hout, wat het interieur een samenhangende identiteit geeft.

Production Technology
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. These same finishes were used in structural and cladding elements. In this way, it is possible to give identity and coherence to the project.
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.
Research
The project was created after winning a private competition to reform a seven floors office building of approximately 1,100 m2 each, in the 22@ district of Barcelona. The original building project was completed in 2002.
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.
