Ampfy

The starting point for Superlimão's proposal for the interior design of Ampfy's new headquarters in Vila Madalena, São Paulo, was to understand how an agency works in order to design a project that would be implemented in a multipurpose building. The agency was also looking for an investor. The agency invited them to do this work and they were informed that the project would be based on an architectural project developed by the Reinach Mendonça Arquitetos Associados (RMAA) firm. The starting point was to concentrate the agency's operational and management areas on the two upper floors and to make the ground floor a space for socializing. The meeting rooms are located on the ground floor – the informal work and living space is located on the front of the floor, which connects to the garden and patio, supported by multifunctional furniture designed by Superlimão, on the right side of the building. In the basement, the reception area was transformed into a sort of monochromatic tunnel in an intense yellow tone. Some architectural elements were used, such as the perforated metal panels on the facades, which were replicated as partitions between rooms. The terraces on the facade can also be sealed with folding doors made of perforated metal mesh, and the recesses house balconies, allowing natural light to enter the building. The central area of the agency was prioritized for collective use in the interior design. Individual cabinets and countertops were added to serve as both a printing center and a pantry, providing comfortable and informal space for employees to socialize; and the use of the front garden as an extension of the ground floor was also optimized. On the upper floor, the wooden ceiling allows a glimpse of the sloping roof.
