Paga todo
Spaceis the main factor that determines the interior design and operation of acompany. The new corporate offices for Paga Todo presented a particularchallenge because it was necessary to adapt to the clients demands and a 2,000sq m area in a shopping center.
A big wood box, insertedrespecting the surrounding design, greets everyday collaborators and visitors. Insidethe box were located the reception, support area and interview halls, on top ofit –with a panoramic view of the finance area- the personalized area to servethe dealers.
The client decidedto implement in their office a lounge style cafeteria –like a hotel lobby-because before the relocation the majority of the collaborators preferred towork and meet in the close by cafeterias to enjoy a more relaxed ambiance. Thisspace has all the necessary services and it is a nice surprise for the visitorsbecause there are screen, complimentary computers with Internet, snacks anddrinks.
The staircase waslocated in the vertex of the project in order to communicate with the upperlevel, opening a new entrance of light from above and making more interestingthis meeting point for the colleagues.
The color palette–asked by the client- is very sober and with no risk. White, beige shades withaccents in a dry green and the oak of the furniture and woodwork. Threesections with meeting halls divide the space generating references andtransitions between the work cells.
For natural lightbig vertical stripes were open on the façade of the shopping center and most ofthe walls were not built ceiling height to make the most of the differentnatural light sources of the building. Large windows facing the interior of theshopping center were also installed to make references in the main corridor.The windows have random size and create a sequence with the transition of eachof the work teams.
