A Slick Monochrome Office By Fran Silvestre Arquitectos
- Words
- Anna Dorothea Ker
Fran Silvestre Arquitectos designed a stark, minimal office block in Valencia, Spain, guided by geometric forms and monochrome tones.
Located, in the architects’ words, in a “commercial premise in the centre of the city with a complex geometry, full of turns and structural elements that interfere in the understanding of the space”, the office complex is designed as a set of rooms shaped by white and grey tonalies, illuminated by ceilings which serve as structured signage points to guide the purpose of each space. Fronted by a horizontal facade cladded out in aluminium, the building’s interior appears as a set of optical illusions that frame the daily disorder and reorganisation that occurs inside.
