Corporate Office Interior Design Idea | GUATEMALA.COM OFFICES | Guatemala City | ACA

A collaborative workspace invaded by three main elements: concrete, solid colors, and lots of natural light.
Concrete plays an important role in shaping the envelope of the place, the vibrant and solid colors become the main occupants of the space, and the large windows give us a constant bath of light and energy.
Another important element that is present is the white on the walls, which in addition to being the color of balance, acts as a canvas to display works of art by new artists in the country......more

Office Interior Design | Pocket Gems 2 | San Francisco | Actual

Having expanded beyond the scope of their previous office (see Pocket Gems 1) we assisted our mobile game developer client in locating a much larger space with room to expand. Taking advantage of two large, existing light courtyards and the exposed structure, this commercial interior combines a fun and flexible office environment with casual spaces for play, relaxation and work. Modular desks are configured in an open office area established around the two central light courtyards and perimeter wall. Instead of a formal reception area, elevator lobbies open to large lounges with casual seating. Walls are painted in bright colors or coated with white-board paint. Following our design for Pocket Gems 1, the carpet, an index of activities programmed above, is a composition of inexpensive, standard carpet tiles developed in our office using parametric software.......more

Office Interior Design | Cisco Umbrella | San Francisco \ Actual

Open DNS (now Cisco Umbrella) a rapidly growing tech company, already occupied 14,000 sf in a SoMa warehouse when they acquired an additional 14,000 sf and engaged Min | Day (now Actual Architecture Co.) to design the first of two expansions, now totaling 56,000 sf. Charged to connect new and existing workspaces with minimal disturbance to operations, the design overcomes the egress and infrastructure requirements of new occupant loads in the 1915 building while maintaining the raw industrial character of the existing building. By minimizing painted gypsum board surfaces, consolidating them to core areas, and maintaining exposed concrete columns with mushroom capitals, concrete ceilings, and exposed ventilation and conduit, the project dramatically mixes raw and cooked qualities of architectural finish. The newly designed elements incorporate company branding through color and graphics while blending formal and informal work areas......more

Office Interior Design | The Lencioni Construction Company | San Carlos | California \ Feldman Architecture

The Lencioni Construction Company’s newly acquired office building’s warehouse identity and retro architectural elements offered a strong potential to explore the dialectic between a rugged industrial shell and a sensitive modern intervention. The father and son team aspired to create an interior remodel that speaks to the high-end residential work that the company is reputed for. Their passion and direct engagement with the architects has resulted in the successful rejuvenation, yet honest interpretation of an old building with great bones.

Set in the industrial center of San Carlos, the nondescript exterior facades have been pared down to simplify and unify a few chosen elements. New storefront windows replace infill walls, maximizing natural daylight into the office spaces. A new entry portal inserted into an otherwise flat façade frames the primary access to the Lencioni office space, one of three units on the property.

The exposed concrete floors, concrete blocks, wood trusses, and ceilings have been carefully restored and refurbished to enhance the tension between and old and new. A monolithic ‘carpenter’s block’ tucked at the back of the unit creates an elevated mezzanine space with workstations that overlook the area below. Modern details against a traditional framework characterize this unique commercial space tucked between long-established car garages and emerging contemporary properties......more
