Designing an office can be tricky at the best of times. I only had 30 days to create, design and visualise a small office for either an architecture and interior design company, a digital media  comapny or an advertising company. I chose to design for a small architecture and design practice because I had recently interned at Gensler over the summer and worked in quite a small team and thought this would translate well into the design. 

​

The concept for the design stemmed from flexibility through regimented systems. Grids were a crucial aspect of the design and were implemented in a number of ways. On the mezzanine, shelving units and seats are integrated together to create flexible storage solutions and functionaility. These cubes create a small auditorium to watch videos, programs and lectures whilst they can also be detached to become individual seats around the office. 

​

The ground floor glazing grid allows the employees to move and manouvre the glazing panels to form smaller or larger spaces depending on their needs. Foldable and rollable furniture can easily be put away for specfic functions and events and stored in the conference room. The conference room, located under the mezzanine, is patched into a web cam with a hidden projector allowing the company to have a wider client base. 

​

The staircase doubles up as a filing system and storage area as well as having a small one-man relaxation booth. Large acoustic panels adorn the wall to counteract the echoey atrium space and make it a more aesthically pleasing design. These panels are attatched to the magnetic wall and can be replaced easily and moved around to keep the design fresh rather than repetitive.
