Plan of the final proposal, showing computers and other stuff placed. Also showing a small arrangement we did in an adjacent room.


Project - Existing Situation.



We got asked to refurnish the access hall of an existing building (right). The entrance was very narrow and there was a circulation conflict: messengers had to access (cross security) to handle the documents.



So de decission was to create a bigger public space (left) and bring register to the outside: giving this way an entrance space in the scale of the building and solving the circulation conflicts and messengers could handle the documents without entering the building.




Circulation:
Information. To clarify the space, a big desk is the first thing you see, the information desk.

Fast entrance for messengers. The desk becomes a bench to sit or to put the helmet, the bag...


Access to the building: Security appears at the end, as an isolated desk where to make all the steps to enter the building.

View before intervention.

View after intervention.


The three desks organize the space and the circulations, giving a new image to the building.
