ALD Automotive Headquarters

The functional layout for a car rental company was developed in an existing three-level building. An open-plan concept is used for every floor, with visually defined boundaries from one department to the other.
Work areas are placed, following the axes that the building geometry creates. Each employee has his private stable office but at the same time they are part groups of desks, enhancing the collective mentality that the company promotes.
Vertical louvers serve as partitions, controling the vista between the different departments.
Environmental graphics play a key role to space the interiors by communicating the company’s values. Symbolic photographs are selected to cover entire walls mostly at communal areas.

Materiality is a visual tool for the users to understand that they entered a space with a different use.

On the upper level, two meeting rooms are designed with the ability to turn into one large conference room. Wood cladding wraps the perimetric surfaces, implementing the importances of these rooms and creating a contrast with the rest of the spaces.
