Camilo Castelo Branco 2

The new studio space was set to occupy a conventional shop, directly connected to the street through a large window that, on one hand, amplified the sense of
space and allowed natural light to enter, while on the other, attracted the gaze of passersby. By incorporating pivoting panels, the entrance now accommodates an exhibition space that simultaneously ensures the privacy of the workspace. At the heart of the studio, a central atrium serves as a transitional and welcoming area, extending towards the different zones: a workspace with meeting rooms where visitors are received and another area designated for private use. These two spaces are linked by a large, open, flexible area that can function as both a reception and an amphitheatre.

An important premise for the studio was the efficient distribution of spaces. Circulation in the work area was reduced to a minimum, creating an open plan where the central corridor running along almost the entire longitudinal axis is used for informal meetings. Separate work areas, like branches, appear in the form of cells, partly protected by acoustic sliding panels, creating an atmosphere of absolute intimacy for the various work teams.
