MICROSOFT 2.020
In 2020, Microsoft celebrated 30 years in Portugal. Installed for the last seven years in a building in the Parques das Nações, the company's HQ was recently given a makeover. Heading the renovation was Vector Mais, with a signature Openbook project.

These reversible states of transparency play on vast, roomy, light-filled spaces which encourage productivity and ingenuity. And because well-being is crucial, 500 workstations and 105 meeting rooms exist alongside phone booths, social areas and cafeterias, all spread over 6,200m2.
