D3 Offices – Complete With Mood-Detecting Color Wall

Stephen Searer — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 14:00:55 +0000

Located along Avenida Paulista, one of the most important avenues of São Paulo, the today’s space is the new headquarter of D3, a digital producer company that works along with publicity agencies on the production of interactive experiences. Their talent and creativity is definitely on display in this office.

The office is a meager 575 sq ft, making the usage of the space incredibly important. “The rustic treatment of the basic structure is partially covered by the woodworks, carefully designed in order to create different visual effects …every corner of the space instigates the visitors’ eyes to different angles, textures, colors and lighting patterns. Three kinds of wood and different shades of blues, greens and purples were used for the chromatic identity of the space.

The furniture was designed to allow flexibility of usage, reinforcing an invitation to the clients to actively participate on the space reconfiguration. Its layout can be transformed through the relocation of the wheeled furniture, which has been dimensioned to be easily adapted to different needs. As a result the workstations can be constantly rearranged and the space can be configured as a big meeting room, be ready for a video game round or even a movie session.”

An interesting facet of the design is the interactivity of the office. Instead of just being a dormant room, a number of sensors throughout the room detect movement and sound. These signals are then interpreted as colors triangles along the main wall making the room into a “live thermometer of the relationship among people and its environment.”

Design by Estudio Guto.

Webgoal Offices

Stephen Searer — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:00:00 +0000

WebGoal is a Brazilian company that develops software for the web. They are a motivated team, composed of simple people, who value and respect each other, their customers, partners or friends. A couple of their products are a simple stopwatch, and a personal finance tracker.

Their office is simple and to the point with a basic bullpen area where all employees work. They’ve got a nice size television and great ping-pong area that is sure to let people unwind a bit. Also, that one guy makes the coolest things out of colored post-it notes that I’ve ever seen. Webgoal has several areas where employees can lounge around, whether it be on beanbag chairs or company hammocks. The office is located in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

boo-box’s New Offices

Stephen Searer — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:30:04 +0000

We covered boo-box a little over a year ago and have noticed that the company has grown nicely since then with some more venture capital, additional employees, and of course, the most important thing, new offices. If you remember, the old space was only used by the company’s three employees, but now with around 12 employees, the company easily grew out of that space.

The new office, which has a large supply of natural light supplied by their fabulous view, is still located in Sao Paulo, Brazil. While it does indeed offer a lot more space, the office is by no means extravagant, but is definitely a step up from the old space. Hopefully we will hear from the company again in the future!

boo-box Headquarters

Stephen Searer — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:30:57 +0000

Boo-box is a contextual marketing company from Brazil. Basically, boo-box takes the best parts of contextual advertising and applies them to clean-looking shopping widgets/links you place on your content (text, pictures, video). They work with Amazon, eBay, Shopping.com, and a host of Brazilian sites.

The featured shows what I have come to love about this site. Progress. While, I don’t think I do a good job of keeping it chronological order, there is a definite shift in the look at feel of the office for the better. Hopefully we will continue to see this!

e-first Digital Development Offices

Stephen Searer — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 14:00:58 +0000

e-first Digital Development is not your average web design company. How do I know this? Well for starters, not all design companies are contracted to create the latest version of Bono’s personal website. (Yes, that Bono)

Their office space is located in São Paulo, Brazil. Besides working, I’ve been told that the employees enjoy a good game of Counterstrike. They also send messages to each other using the remote control car. I’m also going to go out on a limb and say that they’ve got more orange chairs than any other office in Brazil, and probably the Western Hemisphere.
