Sant Cugat del Vallés - Spain

The great 'flagship' of Oca Global

Target

With more than 12 years of experience and a presence in 15 countries, the international private equity group Oca Global, a benchmark in inspection, certification, testing, consultancy, prevention and training, has moved its headquarters to Sant Cugat del Vallés. The new building, which had been closed for many years and was very deteriorated, needed to be completely refurbished to create a more modern image in line with its corporate values, where it could grow comfortably and meet its future needs.

Oca Global's philosophy is to provide its employees with a spacious, comfortable workplace, with 'green' views of the outdoors and where fluid communication between its teams is encouraged.

Solution

The building’s layout – comprising a ground floor and three upper floors set back from a large atrium – has inspired the design of Oca Global’s new offices, conceived as a ‘flagship’ with a large atrium that connects all levels and houses informal meeting areas. The refurbishment creates open-plan spaces that avoid physical partitions, with all rooms strategically positioned so as not to obstruct the view towards the central atrium.

The architectural practice responsible for the refurbishment, Denys & von Arend, chose Actiu to furnish the space “for its value for money, the versatility and timelessness of its furniture, and how well it works in almost any office style”. Functional and ergonomic solutions, such as the Vital Pro desks and Stay chairs in the operational area, sit alongside elegant Cron armchairs, which add a touch of exclusivity to the executive area; soft seating arrangements for more relaxed moments; and comfortable Noom armchairs for visitors and clients.

Ventilation and climate control also play a very important role in a building with open façades and large windows, which have been fitted with new glazing and incorporate thin aluminium slats to control sunlight. In the car park – another key feature of the project – coloured LED strips and large-scale signage transform the parking experience into something extraordinary, demonstrating how interior design can be applied to any space.
