This brazilian office building in Sao Paulo was designed by Firte, Gimenes & Marcondes Ferraz (FGMF) Architects.This office building was concived with simple ideas in mind.Among them there was a simple concept of not creating a traditional working place.Having these simple ideas as a starting point they have created an airy place stucturing the different areas in a very functionally and informally manner, also focusing on the customer service in a single place, preferentially near the entrance.
Costs of creating an office building are higher of at least the same as a normal house, thereby in this case a simple and small building was created usig simple structure of reinforced concrete.The “C” format approached in the design allows that every area to be facing a small internal courtyard, where also meetings can occur if there is a pleasant day for spending quality time outside.
Inside the architects wanted to create a functional but also a familiar working place .There is an two-story ceiling with a large bookshelf against the wall organizes all the documents from the office.On the ground floor there is a mixt area for movement and workspace with bright colors and quality materials.This simple and clear project has managed to create a great working place generous ,bright , practical and very apropriate for a small company.{found on archdaily and pics by Fran Parente}
