Ulises 97 began with the challenge of giving a multi-level workplace a clear identity without making every floor feel the same. We wanted people to understand the building intuitively, while allowing each level to develop a character of its own.

The planetary system became the structure through which we could achieve both. Each floor was assigned a different celestial identity, creating a recognisable world with its own symbol, atmosphere, and spatial cues. Rather than treating this as a graphic layer added to the architecture, we used it to inform how each environment was conceived and experienced.

A consistent language connects the building as a whole. Materials, signage, colour, symbols, and architectural elements establish relationships between floors, while subtle variations make moving through them feel like entering a different environment. Navigation therefore becomes embedded in the identity of the space rather than functioning as a separate system.

We were also interested in what happens between these individual environments. Circulation and shared areas become points of connection, supporting the movement of people between teams, activities, and different ways of working throughout the day.

Ultimately, Ulises 97 is organised through difference rather than repetition. Each floor has enough character to be recognised independently, while a common logic allows the workplace to be understood as a coherent whole. The system gives people a simple way to orient themselves, but also a stronger sense of where they are and how they belong within the building.
