CONCEPT ANALYSIS

Goals of a living space Multi-disciplinary workspace overall approach from having a living space concept and creating a design studio environment , a place where the multi-disciplinary and cross-function is in focus. This goes both for the studio’s work, which seamlessly ranges from small scale like product design to larger scale designs , and for the office itself – consisting of a wide range of different people with different backgrounds.

A playground for participation A key element in the overall concept approach into creating a livable space is to ensure a constant participation by the visitors and users of the space, allowing for an on-going dialogue and a studio/workspace shaped by its people. In this way, the studio becomes an open playground – there are always different elements ready to be explored and always the possibility for co-creation.

A living space for the user by the user

Sketches and ideas Courtyard component sketched by me

This sketch shows my idea into creating a courtyard inside the building and it has a unique shaped circular ceiling to help the user into getting inspired by the nature surrounding them and the courtyard can be a great space for brainstorming ideas .

Sketches and ideas Material library component sketched by me

The material library is one of the most important components within the space for designers , this sketch elaborates different textures and colors that beautifies the space . The space should be focused on the materials because its important for the users to choose the right material for their design .

Sketches and ideas Bookable spaces component sketched by me

How different users can use one space and turn it into their small studio

This sketch shows different bookable spaces that is created for the designer to use for a long period of time . Its important to occupy the space with the needs of each user by their different needs , like some want sketching boards where others like to use prototype materials so having a huge table is suitable .

BRANDING
