Transforming an old cookie factory into a vibrant workspace is nothing short of a high-stakes balancing act between nostalgia and innovation. The project by Studio BV for Our Family Wizard has succeeded in creating a space that not only accommodates modern co-parenting needs but also pays homage to its historical roots.

As an architect, every project feels like a new adventure, but this one truly felt like stepping into a fairy tale. The Studio BV team took great care to rethink the layout of the old cookie factory, aiming to develop an office space that fosters creativity and collaboration. Picture this: spacious open areas adorned with cozy nooks, where friendly banter can flourish over a cup of coffee or an animated discussion can bubble up like a hot chocolate on a cold day. The focus was on creating an inviting environment, and boy, did they nail it!
2. A Importância da Identidade da Marca no Espaço

When I think about the identity of the brand, it’s all about telling a story. The design reflects Our Family Wizard’s mission to support families post-divorce. By incorporating elements that speak to their purpose—such as communal spaces and vibrant colors—every corner of the office shouts, “We’re here to help!” and creates a visual representation of their commitment to family support.
3. Elementos Históricos da Fábrica de Biscoitos
Some of the factory’s brick walls were left exposed, while ceilings and ductwork were painted white.
The historical essence of the old cookie factory plays a vital role in this transformation. Those brick walls, with their weathered texture, tell tales of the sweet past. I can almost hear the crinkling of the packaging and the clinking of jars filled with delicious treats. Choosing to salvage key architectural features was a genius move, reminding everyone that the spirit of the place still lingers, like the smell of chocolate chip cookies wafting through the air.

We all know that teamwork makes the dream work. That’s why creating collaborative spaces was a top priority. Flexible layouts with moveable furniture offer the chance for spontaneous brainstorming sessions. It’s a little like inviting everyone to a joyful jamboree of ideas, where collaboration can flourish like wildflowers in a field. Conference rooms equipped with state-of-the-art technology make communication light years ahead, ensuring that nobody will ever miss a beat.
6. A Atratividade do Escritório Pós-Pandemia
Clerestory windows bring light into communal workspaces.
In a post-pandemic world, attractiveness matters more than ever. This office isn’t just a lovely backdrop; it’s a sanctuary that brings the ‘wow’ factor. Employees want to feel excited about coming to work again, and every little detail contributes to that. From the bright and cheerful color palette to the thoughtful layout, this space invites people in—a bit like a warm hug after a long day.
7. Sustentabilidade no Design de Escritórios Modernos
I often hear, “Isn’t sustainability just another buzzword?” Nope! It’s a crucial part of modern design. This office wasn’t just slapped together with a green sticker; the team meticulously chose each element to enhance eco-friendliness. Features, such as energy-efficient lighting and water-saving fixtures, join the ranks of smart tech to reduce the office’s carbon paw-prints. It’s a playful way to build a greener future—one brick at a time!
8. Benefícios de um Ambiente de Trabalho Inspirador
Let me tell you: a well-designed office space translates to happier, more productive employees. When surrounded by an inspiring environment, creativity blossoms. It’s not just about the aesthetic; it’s about inspiring innovation! You wouldn’t believe how many ideas can sprout from a comfortable chair next to a window that opens to refreshing outdoor views—like watching the world zoom by outside while your mind races with possibilities.
Conclusão: Um Espaço Que Promove Conexões e Criatividade
This remarkable transformation of a cookie factory into an innovative workspace teaches us that going back to our roots can lead to new growth. The blend of history with modern design creates a multifaceted environment that nurtures both connections and creativity. As I reflect on this project, I can’t help but smile. Just like those cookies, the newly-created workspace has the power to bring people together to share ideas, dreams, and maybe even a snack or two. Because let’s face it, who doesn’t love cookies while brainstorming?
