An office space in down town Lisbon is organized in three areas of work; secretariat, cabinet, reading room/ library and a small auditorium, in satinwood floor. The separation between the different spaces is made by bookshelves in black wood of vengue until the height of 2.20m, always allowing having the perception of all the area of the office. Moving one of the bookshelves about 2.00m is possible to eliminate the reading room/ library changing the conference room into a small auditorium. In the upper part of the bookshelves, two lines of a cold illumination mark the direction of entrance of the natural light in the office.
