QuadroDesign celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2021. The very same year the company began a series of works for the restyling of the company’s building, interiors, outdoor spaces and wall external facades. Today, the first step of the work is completed: the renovations of the office spaces, entrusted to the architectural vision of studio wok, a skillful interpreter of the company’s philosophy, which recreates a domestic and flexible environment that focuses on the quality of work. For the restyling of the company’s headquarters on Lake Orta, Enrico Magistro Art Director and co-owner together with his sister Elena, identified studio wok as the team of architects who, thanks to their innate spirit of research, would be able to remodel the rooms and transfer the peculiarities of the young and dynamic tapware brand into the interior design.  

Culturally, the post-COVID hybrid workplace revolution has presented possibilities for systemic design innovation. In response, MOD has pioneered the “Workshop by Ministry of Design”, a creative collaboration space to replace its award-winning “Bar Code” Singapore office of 13 years (2010-2023).

eFM and IT’S managed the project for the renovation of the ground floor at Terna’s Rome headquarters. The project aims to transform the company’s existing spaces to integrate new trends and evolutions in contemporary work environments. We developed the project following a dual approach: first, to support the ongoing transformation within the company according to principles of flexibility, hybridization, and sensitivity to people’s well-being, by creating spaces with varying levels of adaptability, privacy, and IT infrastructure. Therefore, we carried out a radical rethinking of the aesthetics of the spaces, introducing materials and atmospheres that reflect Terna’s technological dimension, enhancing its focus on sustainability,” explain the designers.

The all-concrete building from the 1960s provided our primary source of inspiration when designing this headquarters for a Paris-based private equity firm.

Paper and Tea has opened its new headquarters office in the center of Berlin. The office is located in AchtBerlin – a unique building in the city center.

Located on the north side of the intersection of Hulin Middle Road and Zhujiang North Road in Huangpu District, Guangzhou, The Exhibition Center is located at the central landscape plaza of the CANNANO Park. It is a dome-like structure with a diameter of about 39m and a height of 21m, with a total floor area of 4158.99 square meters. The basement level covers 992.63 square meters and is mainly used for equipment and utility space, while the three above-ground floors total 3,166.36 square meters and are primarily used for exhibition halls, reception areas, and academic conferences. The Exhibition Center will serve as a key symbol for showcasing research achievements, hosting external exhibitions, and media releases, aiming to become a world-leading nanotechnology exhibition hall with multiple “firsts” globally.

Since MAM is similar to a growing organism, its new competence center resembles one as well, with the intention of developing over the years and responding to increasing spatial needs. The building´s concept answers this complex scope of consistent growth through the principle of cellular division, by intersecting circles with green atria as “nuclei” that originate in inspiring, serpentine space patterns while being sustainable. Proceeding from the first stage of construction, which consists of three circular interlocked volumes, new parts with similar programmatic information are separated again and again into a total of five cylinders, while remaining connected to their predecessor. The result is an organic, growing building in which the respective building sections flow seamlessly into each other. Although the future additions will make the building grow it will not essentially alter its appearance, yet each division functions on its own but benefits and feeds off the others.
