Commitment to Sustainability in Work Spaces is essential for sustainable office projects.
We believe that the future of office design lies in sustainability and energy efficiency. We create healthy, efficient and environmentally responsible workspaces using natural materials and applying sustainable certifications such as LEED.
girbaumateu specializes in the design of sustainable offices, both in new construction and in energy renovations and interior design. Our focus is on creating efficient spaces, optimizing energy consumption and improving the functionality of each environment.
We design offices that not only meet the most demanding sustainability standards, but also offer a comfortable environment, designed to enhance productivity and well-being. Spaces designed to work better, with the perfect balance between efficiency and design.
FEATURED PROJECTS: TRANSFORMING WORKSPACES
We apply sustainable criteria in offices of leading companies that trust us to create healthier and more efficient spaces:
Barcelona Health Hub (Modernist Site of Sant Pau Hospital)
An innovative space, integrated within the modernist complex of the Hospital de Sant Pau (declared a World Heritage Site), for companies in the health and technology sector, designed with natural materials and bioclimatic strategies to promote air quality and natural light.
Udon Offices
Offices designed to be lived in. A space aligned with Udon’s values: sustainability, innovation and well-being. Beyond being a workplace, these offices are designed to make you want to be there, share, communicate and even cook.
The incorporation of an R&D kitchen allows for live demonstrations and the development of new proposals for the menu of the restaurants of this international brand. The choice of materials with low environmental impact, such as wood and sound-absorbing coatings, combined with warm light and vegetation, creates a comfortable and inspiring environment. Energy efficiency and acoustic comfort come together to enhance a unique working experience.
Ametller Origen Offices
Offices where you work better than at home. A workspace designed to be lived in, shared and enjoyed, aligned with the values of Ametller Origen : naturalness and sustainability. The goal was clear: to create offices capable of competing with teleworking, where people would want to come because they feel better there than at home.
The office becomes a focal point, designed to have a coffee, a working breakfast, a lunch or a product tasting in a welcoming atmosphere. The meeting spaces take special care of acoustic and lighting comfort, promoting concentration and communication. FSC certified natural wood, vegetation and warm materials create an atmosphere that invites you to stay. A space that not only adapts to work needs, but also transforms the way you experience work.
Granier Offices
From a disused industrial space to the epicenter of the company. This project has transformed a cold and uncomfortable loft into fully equipped offices for working, sharing and growing. A space that was previously on the sidelines has now become the heart of Granier.
The original industrial atmosphere is combined with warm materials and comfort solutions to create a functional and welcoming environment. Natural light, sound insulation and a layout that encourages collaboration make these offices a space where you want to be. A place that not only adapts to the needs of the team, but also promotes their way of working.
Calafell Town Hall Offices
Recovering spaces to transform the way we work. This project has given new life to unused areas of Calafell City Council , converting them into comfortable and fully operational offices. Spaces that were previously unused due to their lack of comfort have now been transformed into places where you want to work.
Thermal adaptation with new insulation, the incorporation of sound-absorbing materials and warm lighting have been key to achieving an optimal environment. Natural materials and warm tones provide warmth and well-being, making these offices a more human, efficient and pleasant space. A reform that not only improves the day-to-day life of workers, but also adds value to the municipal building.
Rest areas in the offices of the Barcelona Provincial Council
A refuge in the offices: rest spaces on the Mundet Campus
Within the Barcelona Provincial Council, at Campus Mundet , we have created a space designed for rest, encounters and informal meetings. A place where each person can find their ideal corner: from spaces for calm and disconnection to areas designed for sharing and collaborating.
The ergonomics of the furniture guarantee maximum comfort, while the diversity of environments allows you to adapt to the needs of each moment. Sustainable and healthy materials have been used, with special attention to acoustic quality and environmental well-being. FSC certified natural wood is present in flooring, furniture and coverings, combined with warm and welcoming lighting. The plant elements not only provide freshness, but also contribute to air quality by filtering harmful particles.
Furthermore, the relationship with the outside has been key in the design: nature enters the space, taking advantage of solar gains in winter and ensuring total protection in summer. The facades have been optimized to minimize energy losses, and the facilities have been designed with efficiency criteria to reduce consumption and improve thermal comfort.
A space that not only transforms the way we work, but also redefines well-being within offices.
Benefits of Sustainable Offices
Implementing sustainability criteria in offices offers advantages for both companies and workers:
• Energy Efficiency: Reduction of electricity consumption through natural lighting and efficient air conditioning systems.
• Improved Air Quality: Materials without toxic compounds that improve the well-being of users.
• Reduced Environmental Impact: Construction with low ecological impact materials and strategies to minimize waste.
• Productivity and Well-being: Comfortable spaces that reduce stress and increase job satisfaction.
Application of Sustainable Certifications (LEED, WELL, BREEAM)
We design offices following LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification criteria , one of the most prestigious certifications in sustainable architecture.
What are the advantages of a LEED certified office?
✅ Lower energy and water consumption, reducing operating costs.
✅ Improved health and well-being of workers thanks to the use of non-toxic materials and optimal air quality.
✅ Greater corporate value and reputation, reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainability.
✅ Access to subsidies and tax benefits, according to the regulations of each territory.
In addition, we apply other environmental certifications such as WELL, focused on the health and comfort of users, and BREEAM, which evaluates the overall sustainability of buildings.
Natural Materials and Sustainable Solutions
We are committed to ecological materials that guarantee low environmental impact construction and a healthier environment within the office:
• FSC or PEFC Certified Wood: We use wood from sustainable sources, such as in the T3 Diagonal Mar Offices project in Barcelona.
• VOC-Free Paints and Finishes: To ensure better indoor air quality.
• Natural Insulators: Sheep wool, cork or wood fiber to improve energy efficiency.
• Natural Lighting and Energy Efficiency: Spaces designed to make the most of natural light and reduce electricity consumption.
Acoustic Comfort
Acoustic comfort is a key factor in the design of sustainable offices, as it directly influences the productivity, well-being and concentration of workers. We apply absorbent materials such as wood fiber panels, sheep wool, recycled carpets and sound-absorbing false ceilings, which help control environmental noise and reduce reverberation time. This allows us to create quieter and more comfortable workspaces, minimizing echo and improving the clarity of communication in meeting rooms, open spaces and common areas. Good acoustic treatment not only optimizes the sound quality of the space, but also reduces stress and promotes a healthier working environment.
Incorporation of plant elements
The incorporation of plants and plant elements in office design not only has a positive aesthetic impact, but also improves well-being, air quality and environmental comfort. Work spaces with vegetation contribute to reducing CO₂ and volatile pollutants, increasing oxygen levels and improving the feeling of freshness. In addition, plants have natural acoustic properties, helping to absorb noise and reduce reverberation. The presence of green also influences psychological well-being, reducing stress and improving concentration and productivity. We apply solutions such as vertical gardens, green walls, large flower pots and green roofs, creating healthier, more natural and environmentally connected offices.
