In the renovation of GS1 Portugal's headquarters, the incorporation of Amorim Cork Decorative Facade Panels was instrumental in emphasizing the raw aesthetic of the reused space. The natural cork surfaces harmonize with the exposed concrete structure and visible mechanical systems, creating a dialogue between the building's industrial past and its contemporary function. This juxtaposition accentuates the rawness of the original materials while introducing warmth and tactility.
Moreover, the specific use of the "Barcode M1" pattern in the cork panels adds a meaningful layer to the design. As GS1 Portugal is responsible for implementing barcode technology and promoting origin identification systems, the pattern reflects the organization's core mission.
Integrating the barcode motif into the interior not only enhances the visual appeal but also reinforces the connection between the space and the organization's identity. By blending the "Barcode M1" pattern with other materials like linoleum, textiles, and carpets, the design achieves a balance between ruggedness and comfort, highlighting both the technological innovation central to GS1 Portugal's work and the building's commitment to sustainability and material reuse.
Other formats of cork were used in various wall covering applications throughout the project.
