The World Bank Group Offices intend to provide 500 m2 on the 13th floor of the “Torre SEIS” tower building in Quito, Ecuador on Avenida 6 de Diciembre. The new space will house approximately 16 employees in private and open offices, as well as support spaces such as conference rooms, meeting rooms, cafeteria, reception, common areas of support facilities, etc.                                                                                            All designed spaces comply with the bank’s new security standards. The internal space was developed based on curves in the corners with the idea of ​​creating an elegant and simple environment for the new offices of the WBG.

The project has individual offices with transparency for a conventional use of natural light and social and community areas for the well-being of the workers. As part of this project, several elements, and materials such as wood were implemented to warm the space and create a spatial configuration with indirect light and some walls were used to display art. In addition, the subtle materials implemented in the offices in addition to the curved elements allow for a nice visual relationship between spaces and it creates an open and unified environment.
