The brief asked for a low budget intervention plus the need to be performed in a short period of time, without distorting the concept 'disruption', a concept from TBWA. Was chosen so take advantage of pre - existing structure , returning the original concept of operation in open space , leaving exposed the continuous sequences of gaps , protecting only the areas dedicated to the financial department and the boardroom .

The materials used for coatings such as used in self-leveling floor or ceiling coating designed cellulose function as a skin, which almost monochrome attribute to form a stripped aspect space .

As a counterpoint , two elements in wood, with only a residual treatment , punctuate the space, functioning as visual filters . One in the arrival area , protecting the common working table , and the other a larger gathering area , protecting an area of ​​sofas intended for informal meetings .There are also scattered throughout the space, a set of solid wooden blocks that function as banks or support equipment .

In the choice of materials and equipment, if the preference was of domestic manufacture , and in addition to sofas supporting high coast, which function to create an alternative assembly area or work more guarded and private , contrasting with the horizontal dimensions were designed and extraordinary table where they can work up to 36 people simultaneously .
