Banco Santander Headquarters

Fit out of the entire Madrid campus for this banking group.

We developed and coordinated the design with the Madrid-based client and an associated Madrid-based designer and also with the campus building architect Kevin Roche in USA. We created resource pods where we located office services which provided centralised facilities and a focal identity for each zone.

Through the use of colour, material and form we evolved a design concept that navigated users throughout the campus and individual buildings to their desk.

Brief

  • relocate 6000 bank employees from several central Madrid locations
  • provide functional and flexible offices which respect human scale

Results

  • we successfully took the organisation through a major cultural change from mainly closed office facilities to an open plan environment
