A Peek Inside Piraci Oliveira’s Sao Paulo Office

Law firm Piraci Oliveira recently hired architecture firm GDL Arquitetura to design their new office in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

“The premise of this project was develop a layout to create an experience of receiving customers and provide a functional area with coffee in order to happen informal meetings.

We proposed planes that evoke the resulting fluidity in space combined with the contrasting tension of the materials: through wood panels, pipes and apparent slab with concrete effect. All elements tied by luminous boxes bringing rhythm and different scenarios to the project.

Finally, marble is present in the custom-made table, as well as in the toilet, reinforcing the “weight” of the office name,” says GDL Arquitetura.
