Enjoei Headquarter is an office interior located in the Copan building in Sao Paulo, designed by Oscar Niemeyer in the 1950s. The floor of 2,100 square metres was requalified for about 230 people, with integrated workspaces and numerous meeting rooms. The existing subfloor was kept as the final flooring and the original finishes were restored, which reduced waste. Recycled fabrics, exclusive carpet designs and curated furniture were used. The meeting rooms apply low cost solutions that improve acoustics. White surfaces create a calm and futuristic atmosphere.

Ferrying

Ferrying is a compound bookstore set on two floors and covering 1500 square meters. The layout follows the logic of a traditional water town block, where a river connects areas for books, goods and salons. Small bridges, village houses, miniature squares, octagonal pavilions, wooden boats and a pixelated Qilin figure shape the interior. Contemporary elements are added, such as parametric subway train lines, an augmented reality experience and a tea area. Simple local materials keep the construction budget low, including cement self-leveling, terrazzo, clay bricks and granite.
