Averna, a company specializing in test integration for various industries, undertook the challenging project of finding a space in which to bring together its offices and laboratories into one functional area. The chosen concept is based on the blending of an industrial style with an inviting ambiance, inspired by the architectural shapes of the historic building housing the offices.
The company’s main entrance showcases a strong identity with an all-encompassing black hue that stands out against the bright, airy corridor leading to the reception area. The space changes under high white ceilings, thereby creating a bright, modern look and feel. The exterior windows, with their industrial design, had an impact on the interior layout. The private offices were designed to maximize privacy while bringing the architectural style of the windows into the office space.
The columns and structural elements of the corridor create rhythmic arches that integrate the industrial aesthetic, while bringing a dynamic visual flow throughout the space, particularly between the cafeteria and the offices. The cafeteria, the heart of the company’s social gathering point, stands out for its cozy atmosphere, with its wooden accents and different seating configurations allowing for both solo dining moments and group interactions.
The entire project is a successful balance between functionality, aesthetics, and corporate identity, in a setting where each space is designed to meet the specific needs of Averna’s business activities.
