In a large and connected space,
METRO Arquitetos Associados , led by partners
Gustavo Cedroni and
Martin Corullon , led the unprecedented office, library and studio of art director
Giovanni Bianco - GB65 . The spaces are located on different floors of the same building in the Jardins neighborhood, in São Paulo, in an area of
140 m² each.
The project is marked by the
modular rhythm of a large metal shelving unit that occupies and organizes all the workspaces. Composed of
sliding panels and
mobile shelves , the shelving unit offers flexibility for the most diverse activities that take place on site.
In the
library , located a few floors above, the project started with the
combination of modular wooden pieces capable of designing all the furniture such as shelves, tables, ceilings and lamps. Using the same system – solid wood knots and marine plywood panels – it was possible
to draw all the elements of the art director's library and studio.
The unity of the project is accentuated by the
hydraulic tile floor , which permeates the entire workspace.
"In both projects, we chose to
use few materials , we thought that Giovanni's own work would fill the space with different colors and shapes. And from the beginning we wanted a
very different atmosphere between the office and the library, and the design resource that we used it in choosing the structural elements:
steel in the office and wood in the library ", explains Cedroni.
