Hello, Metaverse citizens!

We are revisiting a fantastic project from our last year's portfolio. In 2021, we partnered with ConsenSys, one of the biggest web3 companies in the space, to build a massive headquarters in Decentraland.

The client's goal was to have a virtual office in the Metaverse where the teams could gather and also where they could showcase their portfolio of digital products.

This building stands out for its unique architectural design and its massive size. The office is located in a 10x10 parcel surrounded by trees, pathways, and a green landscape.

The ConsenSys HQ was inaugurated in April 2021, and it has become one of the most stunning buildings of its kind in Decentraland's virtual world.

General Information

About the project

Last year, ConsenSys came to us with a challenging architectural project. They wanted to build a digital headquarters. A virtual office their team could gather and where they could interactively showcase their portfolio of products.

Their main goal was to have a Metaverse space to hang out, share real-world and virtual-world ideas, and further build their online community.

We helped them create a modern-looking building whose architectural design reflected their unique brand identity.

The ConsenSys HQ is located in a 10x10 campus-like parcel near the Forest Plaza in Decentraland.

Undoubtedly, the two things that stand out the most from this building are its shape and size. Our goal was to create an architectural body that resembles the ConsenSys logo twisting inwards in a swirl shape.

The building is surrounded by ramps and pathways where visitors can walk through and learn about ConsenSys products, initiatives, case studies, and the different NFT collections owned by the company.

On the inside, visitors will find a modern open office space with wooden furniture, minimal walls, and a workspace design to empower collaboration.

Outside the building, visitors can also find informational posters, which are very useful for learning about the building, and the brand's services, projects, and vision of the web3 ecosystem.

From time to time, ConsenSys hosts different events where users can join, have a great time hanging out together, and enjoy a fun meet-up with virtual drinks, host talks, and NFT art exhibits.

Last month, ConsenSys hosted a special event for Hispanic Heritage Month, displaying different decorations and imagery and a live show of Latin music in their internal yard.

One thing that makes us proud is that we were able to build ConsenSys HQ in record time.

We designed, planned, and executed this huge project in ~45 days, tightly working with the client to create and deploy the virtual building as fast as possible and ensuring the highest quality for the final delivery.

What this project means to us

ConsenSys is one of the leading Ethereum blockchain software companies. They are the creators and owners of MetaMask and other ground-breaking products, like Truffle, Codefi, Infura, and more.

Working with them was a huge pleasure and an excellent opportunity to show that we are up for any challenge, no matter how big or complicated.

At Voxel Architects, we aim to make the Metaverse grow and develop even further. Helping ConsenSys carry out this project was a fantastic chance to fulfill that mission.
