Embracing the client’s aspirations, we embarked on crafting an office that embodied “Orbicular” – a concept inspired by the fluid. This theme fills each element of the design, from the facade to the interior details.
The building’s exterior is a captivating display of fluidity, meticulously crafted to deviate from the rectilinear norm. The facade, composed of hexagonal shapes, symbolizes the interconnectedness of nature’s elements. These shapes are echoed in the building’s stairs, flooring, and furniture, creating a cohesive visual narrative.
The project presented an exciting challenge: transforming a former industrial space into a modern, vibrant office. This history played a crucial role in shaping the design. We leveraged the existing 1500-square-foot office structure, seamlessly integrating it with a newly constructed elevated section that houses private spaces. This approach not only preserved the building’s heritage but also created a visually engaging interplay of old and new.
The client, who owns established software development company, sought an office space that go beyond convention. He desired a structure that transcended the typical, rigid confines of commercial buildings.
This project sought to defy convention, crafting a workspace that reflects the client’s unique personality. Achieving a balance between natural light and ventilation, often a challenge in commercial settings, was paramount for creating a harmonious haven. Furthermore, the client prioritized scalability to seamlessly accommodate future team growth.
Understanding the client’s desire for a naturally lit space, we strategically positioned the building to optimize sunlight penetration. However, the west-facing orientation posed a challenge: managing the harsh afternoon sun. To address this, we incorporated hexagonal screens that act as a dynamic veil, filtering sunlight and creating a comfortable, diffused ambiance.
For the client’s potential team expansion, we designed the office with scalability in mind. The adaptable layout and ample square footage provide the flexibility to easily accommodate additional workstations and team members. This forward-thinking approach ensures that the office can seamlessly evolve alongside the client’s growing business, fostering a dynamic and collaborative environment.
