2.INSPIRATION:

Concept: Unbounded

Aiming to break away from the dullness of traditional enclosed offices, this project seeks to create an open, multifunctional, integrated new office space. Utilizing modern materials such as mirrors and stainless steel to expand and infinitely extend the space, it maintains the maximum blending and continuity of the space, creating a free, “Unbounded” environment. Functional bars define the movement flow within the space.

3.MATERIALS:

Choosing modern materials like mirrors and stainless steel for their contemporary look and durability, as well as their reflective and translucency properties, enhances the openness and transparency of the space. The use of such materials visually extends the space infinitely, strengthening its continuity and fluidity.

4.TECHNICAL PROPERTIES

The design defines spatial zones through the use of ceiling materials and functional bar counters, abandoning fixed partitions to maintain openness while providing privacy, thereby enhancing the spatial artistic sense and layers.

5.INTERACTION:

Imagine working in an environment without fixed walls, open and free. The space, crafted from mirrors and stainless steel, is not only bright and modern but also fosters creativity and communication.

 Activity areas blend seamlessly, facilitating smooth transitions from work to meetings to relaxation.

 In this open and flexible setting, free movement and interaction spark innovation.

6.RESEARCH ABSTRACT:

The office is designed to create flexible and personalized experiences for people and their surroundings. The space tells a purposeful story that reflects the company’s spirit and functional needs, creating a unique experience while respecting and elevating their environment.

Open spaces provide a closer collaborative environment, strengthening shared culture, fostering innovation, and attracting top talent.

7.THE CREATIVE / RESEARCH CHALLENGE:

Creative Research: Developing an open, multifunctional, integrated new office space.

Solution: Implementing the “boundary-less” concept to transcend traditional office limitations, using modern materials like mirrors and stainless steel to enhance spatial perception and visibility, creating an open and fluid work environment. This design not only makes the space appear larger but also facilitates interaction and communication among people.
