Design of the workspaces of the headquarters of the renowned jewelry firm TOUS, located in Manresa. The objective has been to bet on a remodeling with criteria of sustainability and well-being of the workers, and based on biophilia and Feng Shui, prioritizing the optimization of spaces and processes in favor of efficiency.
The multidisciplinary team is made up of senior architects, Elisava professors and professors, consultants, researchers, as well as several Elisava Alumni, who have worked jointly and in coordination to carry out a comprehensive 360-degree sustainability diagnosis. Elisava Research has contributed its knowledge of the conditions of the workspace and the behavior of people, creating a design proposal that ensures the well-being of the brand’s workers, without forgetting sustainability issues.
Thus, the proposed new organizational model favors synergies between the different departments through more agile centralized management, and has turned workspaces into living spaces where creativity, inspiration and innovation increase, but also health and vitality of the TOUS team.
