What spaces were included in the model office?

The model office in CENU Torre Norte was designed for a way of working that has changed a great deal over the past five years. With hybrid routines split between working from home and working in the office, the office has become the place where the team comes together. The spaces CH3 chose reflect this.

The spaces in the design

Across the floor's 1,250 m², CH3's engineering and architecture team designed and built:

• 80 open-plan workstations
• brainstorming rooms
• directors' offices
• phone booths, for calls and one-on-one meetings
• collaborative squad areas, where teams work together
• a kitchenette

The logic behind each space

The open-plan area concentrates the workstations and offers the flexibility to accommodate different teams on their office days. The brainstorming rooms and collaborative squad areas serve what the hybrid model demands most: breakout and shared work spaces for people who come to the office precisely to collaborate.

The phone booths handle a one-on-one meeting or a video call without taking up a whole room. The directors' offices keep the traditional format, large enough for the whole team. The kitchenette rounds out the set as an informal meeting point.

Architecture as part of the result

At CENU, commercial architecture was treated as a pillar of the corporate workplace. It carries the company's brand identity and needs to reflect the new profile of professionals, which has a direct impact on people's physical and mental well-being and on business results. The spaces listed above were designed with that goal in mind, and the complete fit-out took 90 days.
