El Buen San-Wich is located on the ground floor of a historic building in the old center of Madrid. Restored the original main entrance, while maintaining the historic status and structure of the facade, but also create a bright new space, allowing natural light to enter unhindered. Two intersecting diagonals divide the space into four distinct zones: kitchen and bathroom in the rear bar area for customers in front. For the building was used the prefabricated steel buildings, which is really attractive, making the construction very easy, cheap and fashion. The new art style in building is to make them really cheap and quality. The metal buildings are combining everything, which you may require from them. Really usually such constructions are usually used in factoring, industry and whatever, but sometime designers have really fantastic ideas, just like this cafe. Really the style of fashion building and the architecture is quite hard to be understood from everyone, but really this one is looking amazing. El Buen San-Wich is one of the most famous cafes in the Spanish capital.

The ideal office place

Some time ago by Businessweek aimed for to research the topic – are there common office? It turned out that they and not one. The place is America. The first example is the central office of the American company Alcoa, where each employee will have personal space with a diameter of 3 m, and offices are located as close to huge windows where natural light enters and sunshine. The interior is designed so that the entrance of each floor has its own kitchen, where staff gather at a cafe and talk. Are also provided sufficient storage sites and documents that people usually carry with them. In addition to Alcoa building using elevators and escalators and air conditioning and air is constantly filtered. Perhaps an office environment is the foundation of success – in 1987 the company’s annual profit is 1,5 billion dollars, while in 2000 is estimated on 23 billion dollars. Another belongs to the ideal office SEI Investments Company based in the small town American Oaks, Oklahoma. Its activity is related to bank transfers and investments.
At one time president of the company noticed that the communication between different departments – technology, funds, pension is very difficult, as employees interact with each other furtively. The reason was, of course, work space – each worked in a room with tightly closed doors. Therefore, the first and main thing the president did was to remove all obstacles and to organize the work area in a large common area. It seems the formula proved successful.

Office in the Forest

I saw this office several months ago and now I added it for future publication. I had not seen such before. The offices of Google, Apple or Adobe turnips to eat before that. Do not want them. This is it a modern office, which would peg the greatest pleasure. Many Bulgarian publications have blogs about it, but it’s worth and I can write one. And then with a little info in it, not just with pictures. The office is new and is of Spanish architectural firm Selgas Cano. It is built on their own project, and thanks to the filming of Iwan Baan and we can enjoy it. And I, and others who have written about it, call it an office in the woods, but apparently no one delve into Google Maps. The office is actually located a few meters from the street in a residential neighborhood in Madrid. I just got a lot of greenery around and it seems that the building is in the middle of forest. It’s very nice that retained vegetation around. No parking, no road, no concrete. And it has a wooden path on which employees can reach their jobs on foot or by bicycle. The trail passes into the stairs and dug into the ground on which to enter the building. Entrance was a small part of the rear wall and floor in the middle of the building. So do not infringe too much pipe structure. A building is actually just that – a Trabi.
Is half buried in the ground. Half of the front, north wall that sticks out above the surface and half the windows are covered by 20 millimeters thick curved acrylic panels. The other half of the roof and back wall are made of insulated sandwich of fiberglass and polyester and does not allow direct access to sunlight. Walls have small canopies, which are lifted in a fun way – with counterweights. I wonder how I will feel a person if, for example by walking his dog sensed something in navre and shrubs. Tore after him and the trees in front of you comes modernist dugout full of people. Not to mention if it is dark and the lights are light on inside. Must be quite an attractive sight.
