Committed to the transformation of its workspace into a place of living and sharing, Korus, has rethought its collaborative effectiveness, establishing new paradigms for working together.
Previously spread over a two-storey building, Korus now wishes to develop its former storage warehouse to bring its employees into new spaces conducive to their development and creativity while making its head office the showcase of its expertise: the development of commercial spaces.
In the centre of the Warehouse, an amphitheatre staircase serves as a forum, suitable for informal meetings as well as for assembly presentations.
The amphitheatre offers spectacular views over the valley, plunges onto the double height work space. A forest of woodland-coloured cones, suspended above the desks, reduces reverberation times and weakens the perceived noise level both in the space and in the surrounding open spaces.
On the previous offices a multi-purpose and versatile space that can accommodate around forty people for all types of activities at any time of the day: welcoming visitors, formal or informal meetings, lunch-break events, relaxation, or work sessions.
These convivial spaces extend outside with a series of terraces, with walkways oriented toward the valley, a shade-house expressing the quintessence of this incredible connection with the great landscape. Usable throughout the day as a place of informal exchanges, at lunch time it becomes the employees' refectory.
