Comprising a large ground floor and a mezzanine level, Critical Manufacturing’s office is divided into three main areas: two dedicated to workspaces and a third that houses support facilities such as meeting rooms and auditoriums. The contrast between the predominantly white finishes and the punctual notes of blue and red in details and furniture results in two cohesive and distinct workplaces that benefit from the glass skylights’ generous and homogeneous natural lighting. Carefully designed details – such as the elegant spiral staircases or the strategically distributed sofa modules – give the office a unique identity that promotes the creative freedom necessary to innovate.
