description
For the reform of the offices of the company EXNOVO Performing Value, consultancy on real estate and tourism, we applied multiple sustainable construction strategies: energy efficiency, introduction of interior vegetation, recycling of elements such as furniture and lamps and refrain from new finishings.
The small office of 86m2 has a LOFT ambience and enjoys of a generous free height of 3.50m. The liberty that this suggests extends itself also to the corporate culture of the company. Flexible workspaces, a zone to charge e-bikes, semi-transparent meeting rooms, an open cuisine and a vestibule with two lazy seats in front of a vegetal wall, leave behind the idea of a hierarchical office.
We left the terrazzo floor like it was, just polishing it, and also the concrete ceiling was left in sight with its installations. The price of the project, furniture included, was about 500€/m2. For the climate we installed a system with variable refrigerant discharge, which, together with the LED lighting and an improvement of the thermal insulation of the windows resulted in an A-energy classification: savings mentality.
The vegetal wall by Live Picture covers 12m2, has a sophisticated irrigation system that only requires adding water every two weeks and the plants will improving the interior air-quality. Tap water is being purified through an osmosis installation.
