About the project
Your office is your stage
The workspace is designed as a sequence of immersive zones that support both collaboration and focused work. Inspired by the dynamics of a theatre, the office unfolds into four distinct areas: Audience, Backstage, Stage and Intermission, each with its own atmosphere and function.
The Audience forms the calm, green heart of the office, while the Backstage provides functional spaces for collaboration and support. The Stage acts as a playful focal point with a strong visual impact, and the Intermission offers a warm, social setting to relax and connect.
Together, these zones balance creativity and social energy with moments of focus, creating a dynamic and inspiring workplace.

A living storyboard
The layout unfolds like a set in motion. Some areas take the spotlight: open, animated, full of conversation and exchange. Others step back into the background: quieter, softer spaces designed for focus and retreat. Right away, there’s a wooden landscape rising from the floor that we designed to be part stairs, part stage, part hang-out. It feels playful, almost architectural origami.
By framing the meeting rooms with large panes of glass, the interior takes on an unexpected role. It starts to feel almost cinematic. From an interior perspective, the glass brings depth and daylight deep into the floor. From a human perspective, it brings curiosity and connection. Turning the office almost into a living storyboard.
Blue and terracotta
Warm orange tiles wrap the bar front and bounce a soft glow back into the space.
Behind the counter, vertical stripes of blue and terracotta add rhythm and movement.
An architectural canopy
Above the bar, a deep blue steel frame floats almost like an architectural canopy, filled with plants.
Terracotta pots, trailing greens, soft leaves hanging down into the sides. It lowers the ceiling visually, making the bar feel intimate and lived-in.
