The refurbishment of KIA's European headquarters reimagines the existing space as a dynamic, innovation-driven hub that reflects the company’s evolving identity and the fast-paced nature of the automotive industry, reorganizing and modernizing workspaces for KIA's automotive designers and engineers. Drawing inspiration from the richness of both physical and digital design processes used in car development, our proposal introduced a series of transformative interventions and structural refinements.
