The best perforated metal offices

Industrial chic, minimalist aesthetics, customisation and all-round functional appeal – perforated metal offices are on-trend for a hip and vibrant workspace.

Here are some of our favourite office roles of perforated metal around the globe, which show why it’s always up to the task:

Lattice office façade: Rio de Janerio, Brazil

Working in these perforated metal offices in Rio de Janeiro is a breeze. The four-storey Anibal Building by Brazilian architecture firm Bernardes Arquitetura is enclosed by a thick lattice of perforated metal that filters sound and sunlight yet maximises ventilation and daylight in the local tropical climate.

The building’s unique three-layered façade also features a green wall of living plants and sound proof windows, reducing acoustics of the noisy busy street outside.

Greenspace for wholesale company: Kangawa, Japan

This award-winning office building in Kangawa, Japan is working hard controlling the sun and privacy for its wholesale worker occupants through a stunning perforated metal facade.

Privacy and solar control were top of the job list for architects HMAA  Hiroyuki Moriyama Architect and Associates Inc, so the firm installed a courtyard on the second floor, maximising greenery and light for a warm and welcoming workspace instead of the ‘cold and hard existence’ often associated with office buildings.
