Bold by Devoteam from Inception Architects Studio

Following their expansion project in the country, BOLD by Devoteam asked us to create a new project — this time for northern Portugal. Porto was chosen as the destination, and the Palacio de Correis building, located in the heart of Vitória, became a symbolic location for the new office.

This office — like previous ones — aims to combine and blend several different working zones. Its functional program includes a small reception; a core with 6 small meeting rooms, relaxation areas and informal meetings with 3 associated small pavilions; two work zones — one open, the other more closed-off for administrative purposes, and a small auditorium for lectures and conferences, followed by a café zone for food and team relaxation.

The space is designed to be flexible, creative and charismatic, reflecting the values and characteristics of Bold. In honor of the city that welcomed it, some elements and materials such as selected colors or tiles appear on walls and furniture, reminding of Porto and its refined hues.

Controlled base palette: white, black and gray contrast with bright and dynamic Bold colors. Finally, noble and warm wood appears in some floor details and furniture.
