Microsoft

General Contractor: Vector Mais
Project: Openbook
Area: 6.200 m²
Place: Lisboa

Housed in one of the most emblematic buildings in the Parque das Nações, the Microsoft headquarters was recently renovated by Vector Mais with an architecture project by Openbook. The new office reflects the culture implemented by Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, and the changes that have taken place over the last few years in how people work and the company's own business.
Seven years after moving to the Parque das Nações, Microsoft completely restructured the interior space of its headquarters, creating new spaces and a more familiar and comfortable environment, perfect to foster creativity and collaboration. Now the headquarters has more than 500 workstations, 105 meeting and collaboration rooms, phone booths, lounges and cafeterias, all developed with a strong spirit of functionality and sustainability. Celebrating 30 years of presence in Portugal in 2020, the project also highlighted the connection to the country, visible in details such as the use of Bamer's partitions, Amorim Wikanders flooring or Ferreira de Sá rugs, among others.

“The future is today. We have been operating in Portugal for 30 years, but the business has changed and grown, so the space had to follow this innovation. Our mission is to empower all people and organizations on the planet to achieve more and we believe that this more comfortable and inviting space will help employees unleash their full potential and challenge customers and partners so that together we can create more value.
We want this space to embrace talent, cultivate productivity, activate creativity, and stimulate growth. And even being all that, it is still a place that is familiar to us and where we feel almost as comfortable as if we were in our home.” ​
