With the vision of creating a unique experience for the handover of their vehicles, as well as establishing a meeting point for clients and their team, the Empl family approached us with the desire to design a space with a distinctive atmosphere.

This was an exciting challenge for us, as it required merging the functionality of an inspection hall with a “cool” bar and lounge.

Inspired by Ricardo Bofill’s La Fábrica, we implemented a unique design across two levels, featuring large metal elements with delicate cutouts, an impressive metal staircase, subtle lighting elements, nearly invisible award-winning Frits Jürgens pivot doors, Mario Bellini’s Camaleonda sofa, and a large video wall.

The former assembly hall now houses an office, a meeting room, a bar, a lounge, restrooms, and separate storage rooms for inspection equipment.
