Seedrs offices

Paralelo Zero and Pedro Marchand teamed up to design the new head offices of crowdfunding company Seedrs in Lisbon, with technical rooms in the center of the space.

Paralelo Zero and Pedro Marchand have been assigned the design of Seedrs crowdfunding company’s new head offices, in the heart of Lisbon, with three main objectives: maximize the office flexibility, harmonise an originally disordered space and create a strong brand image representing the young and dynamic spirit of the company.

The office was divided into two areas: one dedicated to work, with an open-space office, a brainstorming room and meeting rooms. The second area dedicated to leisure and relaxation, including a kitchen and a presentation area. This solution allowed for better acoustics and functional control of the whole office. Large sliding doors were installed to separate, where necessary, these two main areas.

To allow a more fluid space, the small rooms are concentrated in the centre, and include, a shower, technical cabinets, skype rooms and cloakrooms. This multifunctional block finished in black wood fibre becomes the key element of the redevelopment and consequently the image of the project. The exposure of air conditioning infrastructures give an overall industrial touch to the space, while large window ensure natural light to the working area.
