A space with the intention to be open to the city, to organize events and presentation that at the same time is the new showroom for SANCAL in Barcelona. Space that marks the DNA of the company, that surprises and doesn’t leave you indifferent and always looks for the value added to creativity. A dynamic and multipurpose space, where the architecture and the geometric forms take center stage. That evoke a playful atmosphere, and emphasizes art and creativity. 

Fuego Camina Conmigo is a strategic and creative advertising agency, looking to open their new headquarters as a way to materialize their values into a space. The project consists of the refurbishment of a office on the third floor of a building located in the industrial neighborhood of Gracia, Barcelona. The more private areas are located towards the back of the office. The agora zone in the center, to serve as a plaza. The functional service spaces, towards the front near the entrance, as an architectural protector for the interior. 

The goal for the design was to create an open and dynamic space. Hence the closed spaces were conceived in the form of micro architecture that interact with one another and create a sculptural passage. With circular openings generating doors and windows, allowing the light to circulate and evoke a world of art and creation. Each module was thought off as a small sculpture, which at the same time is compositionally related to the other rooms. 

The concept of micro architecture of the space is materialized here. Each room has a distinct height, length and width, emphasizing the sculptural concept. The openings and windows of each room are thought out to optimize the amount of light that enters. As an entity the rooms offer a unique perspective of the space, creating a dynamic intervention. The different heights, emphasize not only the height of the architecture, but also make visible the existing unique metallic beams. 

The furniture of each room is chosen carefully with the Spanish furniture brand SANCAL. With a neutral color pallet that complements the space, environment and the client. The same area on the left are a series of spaces used to make “fast calls”. Where the intervention between the architectural forms and the lighting design, has an intention to evoke an artistically illuminated space inspired by James Turell. The kitchen is also a multipurpose space, with a capacity for 30 people, that at the same time can be used as a training room. 

The entrance of the kitchen is marked by large circular opening, with the glass sliding doors. The agora is a multipurpose space of the project. Two big metallic, mobile steps structure the space. Small islands are generated in the space, through the use of colored circular carpets that bring together sofas, table and other furniture from SANCAL. The last space is the most private, with four large custom-made tables by “fusteria vidal”. The table continues the sculptural concept of the space.
