The quality and well-being criteria that define the company’s culture were reflected in sustainable construction practices, which were integrated throughout the process by Openbook, responsible for the architectural design of Miniclip’s new headquarters in Taguspark, Oeiras.
With the adoption of new hybrid working models as a result of the pandemic, the workplace is now a meeting place where employees go to work collaboratively, which has led to transformations in the design of the spaces themselves.
Openbook’s entire project aimed to contribute to the balance between work and leisure. Creating a multitude of open space areas, informal and collaborative work areas, meeting rooms and phone booths, a quiet area, an amphitheatre, a gym, a cafeteria, a play area, an entire landscaped outdoor area, including a large terrace, with the main goals of framing the building and providing spaces that invite people to spend time outside.
Vertical gardens are a creative and functional solution to monetize areas, creating more lively and inviting environments. A large vertical garden was built in the Miniclip cafeteria area, and hanging plants were suspended from the ceiling railings. Artificial plants were used to allow the visual presence of green, in a location where it was difficult for natural plants to survive.
