Our challenge was to create a balanced workspace, capable of reflecting the strong oriental tradition combined with the constant search for innovation and the avant-garde.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conceptual design has as its starting point the link between this new headquarters and its parent company, respecting the artistic and spatial concept \u201cForce of life\u201d introduced by the prominent Japanese designer Kashiwa Sato. The idea is based on a set of basic natural elements that represent the source that nourishes life, and on the links between people as the driving force that allows tackling the greatest challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project was developed on the 14th floor of the Torre Raghsa, located on Del Libertador Avenue, a large rectangular plan of 2,100 m\u00b2 that opens three of its four sides to generous views of the R\u00edo de la Plata.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0885final.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-13954 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0885final-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dise\u00f1os oficinas Takeda Argentina por Contract Workplaces\" width=\"715\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0885final-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0885final-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0885final-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0885final-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0885final.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next to the access area, the Reception and Customer Service sectors were located along with the lactation room, an office and itinerant work positions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The operative area was arranged in Open Plan on both longitudinal faces of the plant, seeking natural light, views and a better spatial quality. The workstations were organized on islands that have height-adjustable tops that alternate Coworking spaces equipped with armchairs and small cafeteria spaces for healthy recreation, all in line with the Wellness concept.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The complementary spaces (Meetings, Phone Booths and copy spaces) were located in the center of the floor, close to the core of the existing building. The project also has meeting rooms of different capacities and a Board Room for more than 20 people, all finished with high quality materials, acoustic elements and intelligent lighting control. For its part, the dining room offers different use alternatives: a bench seat, a high bar and tables with folding lids that allow freeing up space to adopt an auditorium layout with capacity for 60 people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0916final.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-13958 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0916final-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Interiores de oficinas de Takeda Argentina por Contract Workplaces\" width=\"686\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0916final-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0916final-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0916final-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0916final-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/contractworkplaces.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0916final.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the front fa\u00e7ade facing the river, different options were placed for collaborative work that invite interaction between the different areas.
