The design of Enerre's new headquarters building

Headquartered in Lisbon, Enerre has operated in the Portuguese market since 1975 in the fields of textiles, workwear and promotional goods. The company’s growth and its wish to keep operations close to Lisbon gave rise to a new headquarters building in Prior Velho.

The building sits centred on its plot, with a generous setback from the access road that dignifies the arrival area and its urban setting. It rises over five floors: two below the threshold level, one of them partial so as to take advantage of the double height, and three above, the uppermost set back over the northern part to emphasise the entrance. At first-floor level the volume is cut away in the central area, opening an outdoor terrace that brings light and relief into the body of the building.

The project incorporates a set of efficiency measures: photovoltaic panels, solar panels for domestic hot water, a raw-water network that uses rainwater for non-potable purposes, and charging points for electric vehicles. Coordination between the architecture and the structural, HVAC and fire safety disciplines was carried out from the design stage, ensuring the compatibility of the technical solutions.

The headquarters' main elevation from a fixed camera, the light shifting from day to night: the 'enerre' sign and the glazed office floors light up over the access apron, with the warehouse and its numbered doors on the left.
The office entrance hall: the curved wall of dark timber battens carries on across the ceiling, a linear light slot traces the curve, and opposite it the green cabinetry and reception desk open onto the glazing and the access apron.
The first-floor terrace, set in the volume's central cut-away: timber decking, built-in benches and planters with a tree at the centre, framed on three sides by the office glazing.
Option B for the same meeting room, from the same viewpoint: a ceiling lined in timber battens, linear pendant luminaires crossing above, and a white table.
Option A for the meeting room: a flat white ceiling with oval acoustic clouds suspended in green and brown above the long light-timber table.
