The new offices of the European Union were designed under the concept of “natural well-being”, the interior spaces of the offices emphasize the sustainable character found throughout the building where they are located. The new European Union offices are the first offices in Quito to obtain a LEED Silver V4 certification. The main materials used in these offices are wood and concrete in their natural state in order to bring warmth to the interior of the space. Similarly, a neutral color palette has been included to provide users with peace of mind during their daily activities. Throughout the office you can find pots with natural plants so that people are always in contact with nature inside the office.

 

The service areas and meeting rooms, formal and informal, are located at strategic points, enhancing interaction, casual encounters and collaboration of your employees and visitors. In the same way, the permanent jobs, designed under an individual office scheme, are located on the perimeter of the building, taking advantage of the large amount of natural light that bathes the spaces. Taking advantage of natural light and ventilation, and complementing these with an automation system and LED lights, the design creates a healthy and comfortable work environment, and above all energy efficient.
The furniture design is simple, with black surfaces that contrast with the natural textures while creating a modular layout.
