About Equiti Design de Interiores de Escritório

O Equiti é um projeto de design de interiores de escritório para uma empresa de serviços financeiros, abrangendo 850 metros quadrados. O espaço de trabalho está dividido em três zonas. A receção, a área operacional e a área VIP e de administração têm, cada uma, um propósito e um carácter distintos. Um teto paramétrico constitui um elemento marcante sobre a área frontal principal. São utilizados pavimentos em mármore Statuario, grandes placas de mármore cinzento nas paredes e papel de parede. A área operacional dispõe de ladrilhos de alcatifa para conforto acústico e de um pavimento sobrelevado com gestão de cabos. A luz natural chega a todas as zonas.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: A workplace is not just a layout for rows of desks, but diverse features and systems merged into one fluid experience. Equiti workplace was divided into three main zones. The reception, the operations, the VIP and management. Each have its own purpose, style and character. The reception ceiling gave a unique character of technology, freedom, and strength. The operations area focused on the well being to provide a healthier environment. The VIP and management area provided luxurious and comfortable experience of its own.
Dimensions & Packaging: In order to ensure efficiency inside the 850 sqm interior design space, special electrical specifications were requisite such as cable management systems which serves employees through the raised floor into their workstations. In addition, to offer the most excellent visual comfort to employees, a smart and efficient lighting system and design was specified, alongside with a durable flooring solution at the operations area embedded with carpet tiles to offer acoustical benefits.

Production Technology: When it came to this project, the integration of innovative and authentic parameters within the design was vital to us. An original parametric logic was used to design the ceiling of the main front area of the space, which introduces users to a unique bold statement ceiling piece once they enter. Along with the use of Statuario Marble for floors, big Marble grey slabs for the walls and a touch of Arte wallpaper, Natuzzi furniture were placed in meeting rooms for a formal and elegant experience.
Design Challenge: Focusing on creating conceptual zoning layouts, separating the vip clients of the administration department from the operations employees section. Design and research focused on balancing open spaces with private and shared room spacing. Allowing access of natural light to all zones and providing multiple circulation routes.
The design layout optimized the best comfort levels throughout all hours of the day.

Value engineering and cost estimation was conducted after the conceptual stage, which resulted In finding alternative solutions and approaches to some design details and materials to fit the project budget

Inspiration: Our inspiration came from the prospect of designing an office space that adheres to the atmosphere of a newly built business district where it is bounded by well-known commercial brands. The nature of the client's business played a vital role, which is serving investors and financial brokers not only locally, but regionally and internationally. So our mission was to create and deliver a functional innovative and inspiring work environment without compromising a sleek high-end interior.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2018 and finished in July 2019
Operation Flow: We tackled the principle of planning for separate zones in the project. Were one zone was designated for VIP clients and management and the other for employees, while having both zones linked by the main entrance hall. Separating the operations from the management. This principle was vital as each zone adopts different interactions between users. Some adopts less and quite interactions such as meeting and VIP rooms, while others adopt more frequent interactions such as the operation area.
