E-GOI & Clavel's Kitchen relies on Paulo Merlini to expand its company with a fluid, heterogeneous, unpretentious space that expresses an informal, yet extremely professional type of management. In functional terms, the space is designed to provide spatial flexibility in response to the company's growth
An architectural tailoring job done for E-GOI & Clavel's Kitchen: stitching together old and new
The exponential growth of the company in question increases the need for space: two warehouses, one old and one new, are located next to each other and are skilfully connected in the most natural and fluid way possible

The new spaces include a new photography studio, several meeting rooms, some formal and some informal, and a space to accommodate at least a hundred people. In order to realise all the planned functionalities, we distributed a series of wooden boxes, where we integrated all the enclosed spaces, meeting rooms, bathrooms and video booths. It is the distribution of these units in the space that defines all the spatial dynamics
By distributing these functions, a kind of organised chaos was created, ensuring a spatial versatility. More spacious and more discreet spaces are guaranteed, where you can read a book, relax or have a more informal meeting. Many of the designed spaces enjoy natural light: the façade is completely glazed, ensuring a strong visual relationship with the main avenue and a scenic effect for daily business life
