Bold Hues and Clean Lines Define Tripledot’s Barcelona Office<\/h1>\n\n\n

NT is full of surprises. The studio and showroom were founded by Jordi Martin in Barcelona, yet NT stands for Nordicthink<\/a>. And, although his interiors projects\u2014all Scandi-esque minimalist, simple, and functional\u2014skew more residential, he just completed a 10,000-square-foot office in the Spanish city for Tripledot, a mobile game developer headquartered in London. It\u2019s pre- cisely for those reasons that the company hired NT. That and, \u201cThe office manager is from here and knew of our work,\u201d Martin begins, \u201cand sought something homey, with local personality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The studio\u2019s largest commercial project to date, Martin and his team organized the vast floor plate into an archipelago of operational, relaxation, and social zones for Tripledot Barcelona\u2019s staff of 70. The brief called for chromatic hues and whimsical installations, \u201cLike Google,\u201d Martin notes\u2014but you won\u2019t find any scooters here. Instead, spaces are bright and airy, outfitted in far-from-corporate modern and contemporary furnishings and unique acoustical solutions, with nods to the company colors and output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reception lounge is a perfect example. A trio of playful sofas\u2014their deconstructed profiles resembling chain links, their fabric color-blocked in citrus, azul, and emerald tones, a logo-derived palette achieved by NT using the National Color System (Spain, Sweden, Norway, and South Africa\u2019s version of the Pantone Matching System) that appears throughout\u2014 face a partition on which Martin installed a mosaic of square fabric baffles in softer shades that riffs off the Triple Tiles video game. \u201cThe lighter accents help generate cohesion,\u201d he explains. But an energizing orange is the main course in the caf\u00e9, its ceiling, structural beams, and enormous modular sofa boasting the shade. That\u2019s also where amenities befitting a game developer\u2014PlayStation consoles, ping pong, arcade machines\u2014are found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A conference room and several meeting rooms dot the perimeter, the former enclosed by 1\u20442-inch-thick glass and the latters\u2019 walls lined with fluted panels of PET felt\u2014one room even references Barcelona icon Antoni Gaud\u00ed. Additional local flavor comes in the form of banquette nooks. There\u2019s a trio of them too, each monochromatically dressed top to bottom in one of the logo colors, their vaulted recesses recalling Catalan caverns. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
