Article source: Pedra Silva Arquitectos Located at one of most important business districts of Lisbon, the project space is prepared to accommodate 300 people and the design reflect OLX culture mixed with the inspiring mood and beauty of the city of Lisbon.

Creating clusters with different spaces and programs allows more control over the work zones in the open space and better acoustics. We wanted the project to reflect the colourful and charming city of Lisbon and at the same time meet the challenges of informality and flexibility in contemporary offices, as well as more technical issues such as acoustic.

Beside they offer great flexibility. In order to solve the acoustic problem we create an “acoustic absorbent tile” made from Burel Mountain Originals – a Portuguese handmade fabric made from 100% pure wool.

All the glass partition frames and joinery were bespoke, with a design developed by us and detailed at a 1:1 scale. By creating closed meeting rooms and phone booths areas near the working areas, staff was provided with more options where they can do their work individually and collectively.

In our office it has become a part of our ethos! In the enclosed spaces we placed the informal work space and lounges that can take just about any form. OLX is a youthful company which follows the tendency of the contemporary information technology companies, where a very informal work environment is a must, and employee’s mental happiness and physical comfort are mandatory guidelines.
