Revitalizing Building Entrance with Innovative 025_Foyer Design

Verum Atelier architectural studio has unveiled their latest project, the 025_Foyer 02, which aims to not only redesign the building entrance but also provide the entire structure with a new image that aligns with the company's principles of efficiency, excellence, and innovation. The intervention focuses on creating a distinct and clear boundary in the form of a cylindrical wooden structure surrounded by a white textile veil.

The choice of wood and fabric as materials for the intervention stems from a deliberate opposition to the nearby surroundings. In contrast to the glass and metal of the existing building, the use of wood and fabric brings comfort, warmth, and texture to the forefront. The intention is to create a space that can evoke specific atmospheres, controlled lighting, and a comfortable yet stylish and corporate ambiance.

The cylindrical wooden structure stands as an independent body within an inner garden, positioned prominently in front of the office block. Supported by wooden pillars that resemble palm trees, the structure serves as a conceptual nod to the surrounding environment. The central core of the structure fulfills both structural and infrastructural functions, supporting the slabs of three floors, housing a spiral staircase, and accommodating data and electric networks.

The 025_Foyer 02 project offers users three distinct spaces across its three floors. The ground floor features a lounge area, directly connected to the building entrance, with a curved sofa that follows the design of the timber frame and a low ceiling. Ascending the staircase surrounding the core leads to the middle floor, where a bar awaits. This space provides a comfortable setting for individuals to enjoy a coffee or tea while waiting for a meeting or a colleague. In contrast to the lounge, the bar boasts a generous ceiling height, creating an atmosphere conducive to conversation. Finally, on the top floor, visitors will find a meeting area that stands 10 meters tall, offering a stunning view of the surrounding palm trees and providing an ideal space for work or client meetings.

The textile veil that envelops the wooden structure gives it an ethereal presence, inviting users to explore and discover its offerings. This act of discovery adds value to the intervention and enhances the overall experience of the building. Verum Atelier's 025_Foyer 02 project successfully brings together design, functionality, and innovation to create a space that reflects the company's principles while revitalizing the building's global image.
