“A world where anyone can belong anywhere” a. Booth Upholstery b. Ceramic Wayfinding c. Ceramic Lighting Finish d. Pine Ceiling/Wall Treatment e. Chair Upholstery f. Glass Partition
Using Airbnb’s company values of people, place, and love, this coworking environment was created as a space where anyone can belong. Drawing inspiration from the company’s logo, the belo, its organic shape can be seen throughout the design as a way to welcome a wide range of users. With an emphasis on the public spaces as the focal point of the design, this space aims to promote a sense of place and community by encouraging connectivity among users.
The materality throughout this space draws inspiration from the four countries Airbnb has established headquarters in. The pine ceilings and columns utilize natural wood elements to dramatize the overall verticality of the structure. Strong geometrical patterns are utilized to decipher the different functions of each space. The Airbnb coworking building also applied a change in flooring where circulation would occur.
