An old industrial workshop gets a new lease on life after being transformed into office space
Offices are ever-evolving spaces. On average, workers spend a third of their day in them, so implementing measures that promote health and well-being has become one of the main objectives for companies.
In this project, LedsC4 played a role in converting an old industrial workshop into office spaces. The building is situated in one of Barcelona’s most active and innovative districts, the Poblenou neighbourhood, where industrial spaces are still plentiful and being re-purposed with contemporary designs.
These 387 m2 offices underwent a renovation led by AAA (Aubert Aubert Associés), with Ignacio Infiesta spearheading the project. They introduced a spacious central courtyard and two large skylights to flood all the rooms with natural light.
Additionally, luminaires from the Bento Standard 6 Leds Trimless series in black were installed in the corridors. The goal was to select elements that seamlessly integrate with the architecture, bringing elegance and, most importantly, offering uniform and comfortable lighting. The Bento luminaire, with its Dark Light effect, delivers uniform and visually comfortable lighting while harmoniously blending with the environment.
In general work areas, meeting rooms and offices, the black Infinite Slim pendant luminaire was employed, featuring an extra-wide lens within a body that’s just 25 mm wide. This luminaire perfectly aligns with the architectural concept of the space. Miniaturisation and integrating lighting are fundamental features that have become a trend to enhance working environments and people’s well-being.
In the general work areas, low-voltage tracks were installed, along with Bento luminaires, to provide focused lighting on shelves and envelop the space with an elegant and warm ambiance.
In various areas where additional support was needed, like hallways or restrooms, the compact 65 mm diameter Play Deep Round spotlight was fitted, offering simplicity and focused illumination. Other models round out the project, such as the Juncus luminaire for the garden and the Luno Slim luminaire in a roundtable meeting room.
Traditional offices have given way to open-plan spaces that encourage collaborative work and private areas that enable high concentration and performance.
