Type of intervention: Office refurbishment
Size: 210 m²
Duration: 2.5 months
Farmaquatrium, part of the Quatrium Group and formed by a multidisciplinary team —pharmacists, economists, lawyers, architects, IT specialists, sales professionals and others— was looking for a workspace that reflected their way of working: rigorous, approachable and focused on personalised service. With a nationwide presence and a global business vision, they needed offices that would enable them to work better, bring teams together, and host internal and external meetings.
The move to a charming building on Carrer Consell de Cent in Barcelona offered the perfect opportunity to rethink how they inhabit their workspace. Their objective was clear: to create a central office that would act as the team’s hub, with meeting rooms of different sizes, a more open and representative space, and an environment aligned with their corporate identity.
Farmaquatrium entrusted Efebé to transform this location into a place capable of conveying professionalism and warmth, while fostering collaboration and team well-being.
The main challenge was adapting an existing office with strong architectural character to convert it into a modern, functional workspace aligned with Farmaquatrium’s visual identity.
The core objectives were:
Creating versatile meeting spaces: small rooms for operational meetings and a large room for training sessions and talks.
Preserving the original charm of the building, respecting its structural elements.
Designing an open, bright and spacious work area.
Integrating the corporate identity in an elegant and cohesive way.
Improving comfort, acoustics and lighting for daily intensive use.
All of this had to be achieved in a space with limited partitioning, requiring precise design and project management to ensure a balanced and functional result.
To meet Farmaquatrium’s needs, Efebé applied its 360 Methodology, which integrates every phase of the project to ensure a smooth process and coherent outcome.
Study of the team’s daily routines.
Identification of the main uses of the workspace.
Assessment of specific needs related to meeting, concentration and collaborative work.
Redistribution of the workspace to prioritise a large open-plan area.
Definition of two small meeting rooms for reduced groups.
Creation of a large multifunctional room for training sessions and presentations.
Selection of warm materials coherent with the brand.
Incorporation of visual elements aligned with the Quatrium Group identity.
Enhancement of lighting to maximise the feeling of spaciousness.
Upgrading installations.
Modifying the original layout to create a more open and functional environment.
Integrating acoustic and comfort-oriented solutions.
This holistic approach ensured that function, aesthetics and brand identity moved forward together.
Efebé transformed the space while preserving the original character of the building, adapting it to Farmaquatrium’s current needs.
Key elements of the solution included:
A large open-plan workspace that improves internal communication.
Functional, well-organised workstations that enhance productivity.
Improved lighting that provides warmth and comfort.
Two small rooms designed for quick operational meetings and interviews.
One large multipurpose room, equipped for training sessions, team meetings and presentations.
Colours, materials and decorative elements reflecting Farmaquatrium’s character.
An atmosphere that combines professionalism, closeness and elegance.
Improved artificial lighting and enhanced natural light use.
Acoustic improvements to make the space more pleasant for collaborative work.
The renovation was carried out with balance in mind: updating the space while preserving original elements and minimising waste during the process.
This approach aligns with Efebé’s commitment to sustainability and the responsible use of existing spaces.
The renovation delivered:
A central workspace that is more open and bright.
Meeting rooms adapted to different formats and uses.
A large, versatile room for training sessions and team events.
A unified, modern corporate identity.
A more comfortable and representative work environment.
The new offices not only respond to Farmaquatrium’s current needs but also reflect who they are: a specialised, approachable and dynamic company ready to continue growing.
(This case study includes a video testimonial from Farmaquatrium, reinforcing their satisfaction with the process and the final result.)
Farmaquatrium’s new offices demonstrate how careful planning, an integrated methodology and a clear vision can completely transform a workspace. The result is a coherent, functional and brand-aligned environment that enhances communication, motivation and team well-being.
