The Room: Redefining the Office Space with Style, Creativity and Space-Savvy Design

ByMyProperty Life

Modern workspaces and offices are much different from the mundane and boring series of cubicles that took over the world in the 80’s and 90’s. Today’s innovative offices offer a much more vibrant and creative environment for employees and there is no shortage of features that steal the spotlight here. From the many amazing offices of tech giants like Google across the globe to smaller, startups that offer equally captivating work environment, the best offices are those that combine aesthetics and functionality in a seamless fashion. The Room in Barcelona is not all that different in this respect as this modern workspace designed by Nook architects feels comfortable, spacious and has a smart blend of private and social workzones.

The entire office interior has been divided into two large zones with one containing a spacious hall for workshops, meetings and other creative activities that involve large teams and a second section that contains series of workstations along with dining area and a small kitchenette. Spruce wood, glass and dark metallic frames shape much of the office here with white taking over in other spots. With smart connectivity to the outdoors, this is an office where Monday morning blues feel that little bit less taxing. [Photography: Yago Partal]

New approaches to work demand flexible rooms that can be adapted to emergent needs. THE ROOM, therefore, proposes a versatile arrangement of spaces that respond to these new realities, transcending the assignment of a specific chamber to a specific use. With a height of 3.50 m, we were able to meet all functional requirements without building up to the ceiling. This not only ensures that the structural framing remains visible from all angles…

  • San Antonio House

    The trapezoidal tracing of the property is what defined the construction of this house into three clearly settled volumes. Vegetation also plays a protagonist role in the design of this house, both outdoors and indoors. The exterior trees enclose the house generating distinct tons of shades and colours during the different seasons of the year. Within the interior, the unruly green vegetation, contrasts with the stone floors and solid walls, reaching a perfect sense of balance. The entrance, a double height lobby that creates contrasting sensations and distinct visual ending points originated by water mirrors, light shafts, a tree and a staircase. The walls that shape this area, divide the spaces into private and public areas. The ground floor, is organized into two blocks each with a different purpose: The left side, is a white solid cube that integrates the study and the master bedroom and is separated from the other block by a water mirror and a yard that generates the desired privacy, peace and tranquility. The right side, the social area, is a rectangle closed to the west by a rigid wall and opened towards the interior of the house through large floor to ceiling glass walls, giving sober transparency to the yard with views to the garden and the central courtyard. The different angles within the construction achieve visual ending points with great character, as well as, enhancing the sensations provoked by the pure whites that evolve into mixed tones as the day and the seasons go by.
