Scotiabank’s corporate interior design efficiently utilizes open spaces, creating a serene and organized atmosphere ideal for a high-level corporate environment. The combination of high-quality materials, strategic lighting, and carefully selected artwork ensures a positive first impression, making people feel welcomed and comfortable.
The organization aims to increase its global value by channeling its philosophy of organization, teamwork, and communication. This is achieved through an open, welcoming, and functional environment, which encourages constant interaction with leaders, and ensures that partners enjoy a unique working space that promotes learning, personal growth, and professional development.
The building’s interior is meticulously designed to achieve efficiency, regardless of the specific requirements of each user. By integrating elements that balance the building’s urban surroundings, such as green spaces and natural light, the design has a direct positive impact on the well-being of its occupants. Natural light is associated with increased productivity and a positive mood, while green spaces help reduce stress and improve concentration, fostering a balance between personal and work life.
Social spaces designed to encourage casual encounters promote communication and collaboration, creating an immediate need for innovative and empathetic solutions that address day-to-day experiences. These communication-focused spaces are complemented by zones designed for informal work, which connect with support areas, private spaces, and the open work areas, all located in the part of the building where the glass façade predominates. This design ensures constant access to natural light, making employees more productive and efficient, and creating energizing and dynamic environments.
The sustainable operation of the office design includes low energy consumption, lighting levels below the standard, and the use of standardized materials.
The finishes play an integral role in the project, blending materials such as marble, carpets, glass, wood, and furniture to highlight the transition between different spaces. Warm colors dominate the overall project, with bright tones used in specific areas (walls, columns, carpets) according to a chromatic palette that unifies the image and reinforces the corporate identity.
The challenge of creating a modern, functional, and pleasant environment was met by providing employees with the warmth of a home that encourages habit changes, fosters friendships, supports interaction in activities, facilitates teamwork, and allows freedom in navigating the space. A fresh, contemporary, and innovative image has been created, not only in the design of carpets, ceilings, and furniture but also in various settings that incorporate natural light and greenery to promote health and happiness, leading to personal satisfaction.
