The architectural concept starts from the idea of transparency in order to easily identify the different spaces and their functions. This solution translates into a layout in which open spaces are always placed at the corners of the building, taking advantage of the double exposure and guaranteeing privacy and acoustic well-being. The concept of transparency acts as a link between the internal layout of the offices and the building that has been regenerated starting from this feature.
The closed offices and the rigid subdivision for functional areas are practically banned, the internal space is deployed in a mix of mobile work places, areas for group work, meeting rooms, all connected by short paths that link areas dedicated to personal relationships.
The lobby design aims to maintain the aesthetic standard of a representative environment given by precious materials such as the marble floor but at the same time an exhibition function is integrated. Within this double-height space, the showroom of the Philips products is set up thanks to the use of furnishing walls with geometric shapes.
The canteen for employees, at basement floor, has been designed with a flexible configuration able to host events of 300 people. The choice of materials aims to dematerialize the structural elements by reflecting and increasing the contribution of light into the environment.
