1530 real estate offices
1530 Real Estate, a leading real estate agency, underwent an architectural transformation to modernize its workspace with a warm, homely, yet fresh and contemporary aesthetic. The design emphasizes an open layout where work, relaxation, meetings, and social interactions flow seamlessly. A long, narrow central core—housing essentials like a cloakroom, private phone booths, a print area, and storage—provides structural organization. This core extends into a diagonal slatted ceiling that visually ties the entire space together, offering both structure and harmony.
A key feature of the design is the contrast between raw and refined elements. The light-colored, exposed brick walls and concrete-look poured flooring create a raw, industrial backdrop, while the walnut wood-clad core, described as a “mushroom,” adds a layer of sophistication. The interplay between the wooden ceiling and these refined finishes enhances the overall elegance, creating a welcoming yet polished environment.
Unusual for an office, the kitchen takes a central place within the space, serving as an informal meeting point for employees and offering the option to invite a chef for events, reinforcing the homely atmosphere. Below, the souterrain contains a private meeting room, a staff bathroom, and an old vault transformed into a playful recreation room, providing space for relaxation.
Balancing elegance with youthful energy, this project creates a workspace that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also aligned with the demands of modern work environments. The combination of raw materials with refined details results in a design that is chic, vibrant, and functional, fostering both productivity and connection.
