El Departamento is an experimental and daring studio founded by Alberto Eltini and Marina Martín in early 2017. They began with the great challenge of revisiting the architecture and interior spaces within the historical context in which we live.

THE CLIENT: NUDE PROJECT

A streetwear fashion firm that offers a community to belong to. It is a platform designed to showcase creative talent of all kinds. "By artists, for artists" is their slogan. Founded in Barcelona in 2019 by two 19-year-old entrepreneurs, it currently sells its garments in more than 200 countries.

THE PROJECT

El Departamento has perfectly captured the essence of Nude Project, transforming an old industrial building located in Barcelona's Poblenou district into a multifunctional space. The areas dedicated to creativity are distributed throughout the four floors that make up the building, all of different sizes and morphologies, and have been adapted to the requirements of their specific uses: a photography studio on the top floor, offices and meeting rooms on the first floor, a recording studio for their podcast on the mezzanine, and a conceptual cafeteria, "Nude Café."

The offices provide the perfect environment for daily work, fostering the team's creativity, collaboration, flexibility, and productivity while maintaining privacy. Nature is incorporated to offer calm and tranquility, while ambient noise is addressed with brown carpeting and baby blue acoustic panels, which help create the necessary atmosphere of calm and concentration.

The photography studio and the recording studio perfectly complement the brand's pursuit of creativity and production activities. Their podcast has likely been one of the most significant factors in the brand's unstoppable success.

THE STAINLESS STEEL

Stainless steel is present in the project's most complex piece, the conceptual cafeteria Nude Café, designed in collaboration with GoodNews. It is a welcoming space in the heart of Poblenou, the area that hosted Barcelona's industrial revolution, now a modern and vibrant neighborhood that retains its 19th-century industrial essence. Thus, El Departamento imbues the space with an analog character featuring vintage objects, a reinvention of the Persian rug, and a high-tech stainless steel fixture that becomes the undisputed center of attention.
