Dim Cloud

A dull commission: a bland office space was to be reinvented. Old partitions were removed and plaster stripped from the central concrete columns. The Portuguese design team introduced two convoluted surfaces, one becoming a dividing wall and the other a new ceiling, carefully measured where they intersect.

Secondary rooms sit behind the stepped surface. The doors are proudly present while the floor is proudly cheap. A grid of lamps hangs from the blue wavy ceiling, and beams of light reflect off the many broken surfaces so that the space gleams and reverberates.
