At SmartKnock, we pride ourselves on delivering personalized solutions that integrate seamlessly with your workflow. This project is a testament to our commitment to efficiency, quality, and client satisfaction.

For this project, we transformed an initial design into a detailed 3D model and produced construction-ready plans. The ground floor and mezzanine feature office boxes, meeting rooms, and management offices.
👉 We meticulously modeled and materialized the building’s facade, creating a simple yet harmonious blend with the surrounding urban environment. Inside, we emphasized the corporate style of such buildings through the use of aluminum carpentry, glass, and exposed metal structures.

A key highlight was the strategic lighting, which significantly enhanced the overall design. Well done to our team of designers and architects 👏

What is needed to have a positive work culture?

To have a good work environment you have to try to be colleagues and learn to work in a group, sharing what one knows and learning from the other.

What do you like most about your job?

I like the good work environment within the team, without knowing each other too well we are excellent colleagues anyway.

What challenges do you face as a coordinator?

The biggest challenge is planning everything to meet the times the client requires and with the best quality.

Where do you like to vacation?

I don't have a favorite place to vacation, as long as it is a new place to visit and learn about, I also quite like nature.

What do you do in your free time?

I like to knit and play tennis, I also spend time with my family or take care of my plants.

Favorite food?

Pasta, without a doubt.

Favorite book?

The one I liked the most was Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.

Hello everybody! It's Friday and another again comes our way! Today we chat with coordinator at . We talk about the struggles of being a coordinator, what he enjoys most about his job, and why he loves nature so much😁

Why did you decide to join Smartknock?
I was looking to join a team that works entirely on Revit and digital modeling, a young team with good dynamics, surrounding myself in a BIM work environment, and Smartknock is what I was looking for.

What do you think is needed for a positive work culture?
Predisposition of all parties to participate, be friendly with each other, which we all are here; listen to the other to know what is happening to them, prioritize the human part, not just the work, because sometimes it happens to us that we focus on the job and we leave the human aside.

What do you like the most about your work?
I like that there are always new things to learn, whether it is about Revit or team management, being in constant learning, always going one step further, and transmitting what one acquires knowledge of to our team is really satisfactory.

What challenges do you encounter as a coordinator?
Manage others in the sense that things turn out as expected even when one is not the one doing it, and knowing how to transmit that to the person who is going to do it; and projects in which one participates as a modeler, being on the side of coordinating carrying out other responsibilities and that is another challenge.

Where do you like to vacation and why?
I like both the beach and the mountains, I enjoy natural landscapes more than cities, the sea, the beach, mountains, and the river; as long as it is nature I'll be glad.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I like to go for a walk with my dog, I love her, I also like to go to the gym, or watch series on TV.

Favorite food:
Pastas in all their variants, but if I have to choose, gnocchi.

Favorite book:
I don't read much so I couldn't tell you.

How do you see yourself five years from now?
Continue growing at work in this world of BIM that I am passionate about and I hope it will be by the hand of Smartknock, personally, I want to travel more

Hello everyone! We're back with another interview!😁 This time we present to you , head of human resources. We talked about how HR influences other areas of the company, what she loves the most about her job, and why and where she likes to vacation. 🏝

Why did you decide to join Smartknock?
I have been here since it began, a person was needed to manage the human resources part, and that included me. I identified with the values ​​that were proposed by the company, in addition to the proposal of teamwork and trust in it.

What is the key to having a positive work culture in the company?
It is necessary to have a professional selection process where people can be identified not only for the technical knowledge we need but also for sharing the company's values. Work relationships are based on trust, honesty, a predisposition to work in a group, active and transparent communication, and mutual respect.
 
What do you like most about your job?
Connect with people, so that the team feels that there is a space to discuss situations that they are going through, and that at the same time make them able to feel that it is a space for active listening where if something happens we find a path for a solution.

How do you think your work area influences others?
The presence of HR is essential to raise awareness among leaders and to have interaction between them. It is essential to have a thermometer of how the work team feels, providing quality service is only possible with a comfortable and happy team.

Where do you like to vacation?
On the beach, because it recharges my energy.

What do you like to do in your free time?
I do pilates, I spend time with friends, and I also love to cook, or making handmade candles.

Book of choice:
The end of love, by Tamara Tenenbaum.
 
A phrase that helps you to get through life?
I learned it here at Smartknock, "each one with their own style".
 
How do you see yourself five years from now?
I don't plan so much ahead into the future, I live in the here and now; life itself dictates how things go along the way.

Ever wondered how it would look the coffee shop of your dreams? Doubt no more and check out this project! This proposal arises from a redistribution of the floor plan, through the demolition of four walls, which generates a large kitchen and storage space. This demolition also provides the integration of the spaces, allowing the entry of natural light and ventilation into the place. Of course, it ended up being dreamy!

Hi everyone! It's Friday again! And with that said, you know what comes next: another post! Today we get to know Julieta Mura project manager at .We talk about work culture, her passion for running, and why she loves barbecues. 😄

What made you choose Smartknock?
I wanted to work abroad, and I liked what Smartknock had to offer because it was a starting company, I had the possibility to grow, I have been here since the beginning, and I enjoy what has become.

What obstacles can you encounter to lead the team?
If communication is not clear it can be a problem, it is key for everyone to understand what needs to be done, how, and when, for everything to function efficiently. Sometimes it is difficult because we are all different and we interpret things differently; we can take for granted everyone understood the assignment and it could be not the case, so we have to re-emphasize it and continue.

What is the key to having a positive work culture?
Good energy and good vibes are vital for a positive work culture; if you are having a bad day, the team cheers you up and changes your mood to work with another spirit.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I like to be in contact with nature, doing sports; I run marathons in the mountains, it disconnects me from work. Being outside, whether it's cold, it's hot, it rains, it thunders, I like being outside.

Where do you like to vacation?
In the mountains, I really like snow, but you can't do it all year round. What you can do is go around, and get to know different cultures.

Favorite food:
Barbecues, not only because of the food but because of what is generated by sharing it, gathering everyone together.

Book of choice:
The Little Prince, by Saint-Exupéry, it takes me back to my childhood.

A motto you choose to live by?
There is always a solution, anything can be solved, and it applies to work and every aspect
of your life. Another one is life is one and we have to live it, which makes us happier at work.

We went big on this one! We present to you a complex of 7 residential buildings in England.
This housing complex already had 3 pre-existing levels on which it was decided to tear down the roof and build one more. This included implementation plans, general plans, sections, elevations, and both pedestrian and aerial axes.
Covering a pre-existing 536.6m2 and new construction of 494m2 this project left us with a smile on our faces and one on our client too!

Hello everyone! It's the weekend and we continue presenting you with another member in the   series! We interviewed Florencia Kraus, head of growth at the sales and marketing department at SmartKnock. We talked about work culture, leadership, and what books she enjoys getting lost in😄

What led you to join Smartknock?

I came from another job in which I felt a little stagnant on a professional and personal level, it was the search for a new challenge, that allowed me to have a balance between my professional and personal life. I was looking for team leadership and I wanted to return to the software area, what Smartknock proposed to me was very aligned with what I was looking for, they also contacted me on my birthday, you could say it was something destined to be.

What obstacles do you encounter being a female leader?

I don't see that there are conflicts in gender, the majority of leadership roles are occupied by women. The main objective and obstacle is to be able to inspire the growth and maturation of the area. As a leader, it is to promote that need to do more; you have to lead by example, and it is constantly embracing the challenge of receiving proposals, receiving criticism in new ways from your team that you have to analyze and resolve as a company.

What do you think is vital to fostering a positive work culture?

Communication is key, it is the basis of trust, and it is what allows us to solve any problem that arises, find ways, and move forward, that is why open-door leadership is essential.

How do you enjoy your free time?

Spending time with my family is what I enjoy the most; in my free time I reconnect with ballet and I really enjoy my classes, they center me and ground me, I also like to read a lot about the field applied to my work, I can connect the enjoyment with what I do.

Where do you like to vacation?

I am very fond of the beach, in that smell and that sound that relaxes me, makes me recharge my energy. I also just love summer, as long as there is sun, sand, and sea I will be there.

We recently wrapped up an incredible interior design project that we're bursting to share with you all. We teamed up to work on the interior design, modeling, and technical documentation for a stunning single-family townhouse project, reaching a LOD 300 standard. Talk about a dream project! But this space is not just well-designed; it's a masterpiece of functionality and style, making the most of every nook and cranny with a wide range of features and uses.

Let’s take you on a written tour 😉 With three floors to explore, the lower levels house the service area and even a basement with a machinery room and bathroom. Moving up, you'll find a shared kitchen for two separate units, each with its own bathroom, on the next level, along with a cozy living space. The second floor boasts a luxurious bedroom suite, while the social area seamlessly connects to the outdoors. And finally, the third floor dazzles with a lush garden space and an accessible terrace, complete with its own entrance from the ground level.

We believe in the power of well-thought-out space planning, and this project exemplifies just that. From dedicating lower levels to service areas to adding that fabulous third-floor garden terrace, every detail has been carefully curated to enhance the property's allure. Our dedicated team poured their hearts and souls into this project, and the results speak for themselves!

Thank you to our team!
