As a part of Steelcase’s NEXT Student Design Competition, we were given the opportunity to design an office space for a theoretical home robotics company called NEXT.
The goal of this project is to create an office space that accommodates to today’s post pandemic work environment. Blending hybrid and in-person is essential, as well as creating an inviting space that will make workers want to come back to the office.
The inspiration for the design came from the Innovation District located along the coastline of Boston.
The concept of ecosystem came to be inspired by the water and the coastline
Specifically, a technological ecosystem is an interconnected and interdependent network of diverse entities to spur innovation
This space focuses on building an interconnected community. The space is divided into 3 sectors: respite, focus, and collaboration. These three spaces are intertwined with each other to make people interact with each other and make employees and guests feel welcome and included
KEY SOCIAL WELLNESS
Area of respite within the workspace, where users can have an more relaxes conversation, watch TV, or sit and read a book.
Area of focus where users have desks that have the Steelcase Answer Beam to add an element of privacy, but still allow users the choice to interact if desired.

Elevations (Not to Scale)
The layout of the apartments are supposed to be accessible, to accommodate for older generations. The furniture is very limited, and there is room for movement within the space. The selections chosen for this space are very bright with small hints of color. This is to provide some joy and fun within the space but still limiting to not overwhelm users with color.
