The OPENBOOKArchitecture design team upgraded the Nestlé campus to inspire community spirit and interaction, located in Lisbon, Portugal.

In this retrofit design, three distinct core areas stand out: landing areas, social areas, and workplaces. The landing area is located at the core of each floor of the park and on both wings, and extends outwards, bringing the natural environment indoors for a unique atmospheric experience.

The new design increases the efficient use of space by optimizing existing buildings, ensuring wider collaboration and circulation spaces, as well as safer social distancing between workstations.

Within the nearly 22,000-square-meter campus, the design team was also challenged to create outdoor facilities for employees. As a result, there is a green zone with a runway, a vegetable garden and a "garden box" (a modular, multi-functional building with multiple collaboration spaces and various seats) for people to enjoy a relaxing outdoor life.
