A small, fresh and minimal coworking space where creative energies of young businesses are fostered. Unlike a predictable corporate office, the design brief emerged from the philosophy of making the workplace feel like an extension of the client’s home.
With a rectangular spatial configuration consisting of a small grid of beams and columns and a stairway punctuating the floor influenced the guiding factor in layout planning. The smaller footprint on the right bathing in abundant natural light, led to an instinctive choice to place the three main cabins. The left side being larger was planned to be the ‘work together’ space with an open seating plan, smaller cabins, meeting rooms and service areas that include a pantry and toilets.
While the open work spaces are simple, well detailed and defined largely by white walls, a seamless grey flooring, aluminium partitions, modern furniture and task lighting, the enclosed spaces are a little more dressed. Walnut chevron floors and spotless off-white millwork adorning the walls add the homely vibe to these enclosed spaces. The pantry and conversation spaces engage in a little fun with playful cement tiles. A large part of the office space is filtered with light through full height glazing’s that overlook a green landscape.
