Have you ever imagined how does an architect’s office look like? This one, which is located in Matosinhos, Portugal, seems to be a good example from Nuno Sampaio Arquitetos. It occupies a large central area which consits of offices, meeting room and which was divided in order to provide enough space for two companies whose people can meet if they want, or stay in their part if they have different programs.

There is a physical separation between the two spaces.The basement floor is the perfect place for different uses a company(or two) might need.The wide space gives the impression of air, of space; the walls ensure artificial lighting, air circulation and climatization at the same time. What else can you wish for?The combination of materials, wooden structure, metal and all the other elements offer a global perspective of the existing space, illuminated by the central skylight and also ensuring natural ventilation.

Everything was designed in order to be appropriate for offices and even more.The pieces of furniture are modern and make you think about comfort, about future and the new things reserved for it. It is both simple and complex, modern and pleasant and it offers a global perspective over things.All these make you want to work insuch a place which inspires professionalism.{Photographs: FG + SG –Fernando Guerra, Sergio Guerra}
