According to the client’s requests, the project aims to take into account the following issues - a set of key points:

An open space, right next to entrance, faces a large glass wall (window) and accommodates ten workplaces; it is planned to provide space for a future growth in employment as well as areas for formal meeting with clients, consultants or planned workgroups.


An enclosed meeting room is placed in front of the open space: it can be used to hold meetings as well as events, call conferences and it can also offer a quite place where employees can work without any distraction; bathrooms are placed next to the meeting room.


Executive offices are set all the way at the other hand of the building’s entrance and adjoining them there are a darkroom and an area in which samples of materials are photographed: the room in which these photographs are taken and the darkroom are actually the same one - according to the office layout – but whenever it comes to shooting, the photo processing sink as well as the countertop can be easily concealed from sight thanks to hinged wooden doors.

The window can be used to enlighten or - with black curtains or blackout sheeting - to darken the room in order to keep out the light during the shooting; it can be also used to aired the room itself while developing film and prints.

Entering the office, there is a big central open area where a selection of furnitures and accessories (and other typical products sold by Leonfast) and a series of samples-boards show off hanging on a large wall in OBS (long the corridor wall): the company’s profile, its sales and marketing fields are so presented through its own products.


This samples area is placed next to the break area; and it has a metal countertop useful as a support to show the catalogs to customers.


The whole central area of the office is an area for welcome clients and consultants and to provide them a comfortable space in which they can enjoy company’s catalogs and products and where employees could have a nice break.


The entrance overlooks a relax area and a comfy lobby: in its standard layout, this central area accommodates the cafeteria with a vending zone and the kitchenette.


The cafeteria can be quickly reconfigured using an OSB movable wall so that it can be divided by the sample’s area; a glass sliding door on the right can be also used to divide the multipurpose central area from the open space allow to create a big central closed area for different uses.

All the furniture used for the cafeteria are foldable and can be put away into the storage closet – next to the bathroom area - where all the folding tables and furniture can be placed if they’re not being used; this equipment can design a flexible layout for the central area that can be re-arrange at any time and it can also provide a different use for the kitchenette: indeed, it can be used as a collaborative area as well as a meeting area but it can also hold events or it can be turned into an auditorium.

Different building materials have been chosen for this office: wooden floor; walls to be covered with green and wooden panels, with the MEP system in the ceiling that has not been hidden – except for the meeting areas and the director offices in which it is concealed under thin white wooden plates.

All the furniture and the lighting resembles wood’s shades and the dark tone of steel in order to evoke a retro industrial environment reconsidered according to a more modern perspective.
