design strategy to craft an interior workplace that stimulates stronger community sense, cognitively and environmentally, through Oxman’s sustainable design strategy and spaces that challenge contemporary temptations of working remotely.

Observing the behavioural science of work habits, to biomimicry, the workplace aims to generate an intimate and comfortable ‘home at work’ that displaces workers from monotonous lifestyles and facilitates productive, personal and collective growth

strategy research THE AGE OF MONOTONY

STRATEGY TRANSLATION

the unforeseen events of the COVID19 pandemic brought about a major pause in all aspects of life; a pause that inflicted disruptions in the operations of our day to day lives, ultimately acquainting us within the same confines of our own homes but was that a bad thing?

not entirely more than 40% of australians worked from home (ABS, 2021). it is safe to say that millenials want remote work to continue, placing incredible value on a flexible schedules and being in touch with a healthy work-life balance (Cambon, 2021). an increase in the desire to work at home is not the issue

the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experimentation.

a home where spaces can be rigid, occur natu a home that grows into unique spaces but all connected through one root

rally and without specific order

Architecture and interiors form an interesting mix of both art and science. Dissecting forms throughout the unique fields of science helps us to imagine and understand each other and the world around us.

The earth, its natural resources and phenomenons form our very first understanding of home.

a home where spaces are bonded together yet flourish within individual molecular bubbles

What can that look like for us?

‘contact with nature has been proposed as a solution to achieve psychological relaxation and stress recovery’ Hyunjo et al, 2019

LOUIS VUITTON PAVILION, MARC FORNES

KINDERGARTEN GUASTALLA, MARIO CUCINELLA

Displacing workers from routine lifestyles can be achieved through application of biophilic design principal to stimulate a wide spectrum of physical, mental and behavioural benefits such as productivity, creativity, improved coping skills and increased social interations etc. (Stouhl, 2023) For thousands of decades, earth and its resources have been used to construct monumental structures that have withstood the test of time.

ORGANIC VECTORS, NATURAL CANOPIES, ENCLOSURES

With that said, through this form study, I have went back to extracting materials from the local terrain, reflecting the local geology to establish a sense of place as well as promoting a sustainably driven architecture.
