Madrid - Spain

SEPE focuses on ergonomics and dynamism

Workspaces

Objective

The Public State Employment Service (SEPE) and the Directorate General of the Public Employment Service of the Community of Madrid wanted the new headquarters in Santa Eugenia, in Vallecas (Madrid) to be an ergonomic and dynamic space, where the design would help to provide a better and more efficient service to the public, while improving the working environment.

Open-plan and agile, the new headquarters transforms the sober and cold image normally associated with institutional spaces into a modern, friendly and welcoming environment.

Solution

The design of the new headquarters embraces a spatial, open, and fluid concept that promotes well-being, with more than 2,000 square meters spread over two floors (with the SEPE offices on the ground floor, and the General Directorate of the Public Employment Service of the Community of Madrid on the first floor); Actiu collaborated on the project alongside its distributor, Momo Art Interiorismo.

On the floor dedicated to SEPE, to achieve greater fluidity and transparency, the waiting area is divided into several zones enclosed by wooden slats that provide privacy while allowing visitors to catch a glimpse of what is happening in the large, open workspace and customer service area. To foster this dynamism and communication, the open-plan workspace is equipped with Twist tables, along with Link partition panels, modular cabinets, and lockers topped with planters that help separate spaces without sacrificing spatial continuity.

On the floor dedicated to the General Directorate of the Public Employment Service of the Community of Madrid ( ), the corporate red color is incorporated into certain pieces of furniture , such as the Bend modules in the meeting and waiting areas, and some task chairs in the open space. Furniture lines such as the Arkitek tables and Cron executive chairs add a distinctive and more elegant touch to the offices; meanwhile, in the training rooms, the focus is on easily foldable and stackable solutions, such as the Talent tables and Noom 50 chairs.
