The Techspace flagship building presented a unique opportunity for design and refurbishment, aiming to elevate interior design standards while capturing the vibrant spirit of the surrounding neighbourhood. The design challenge involved creating a dynamic yet functional environment that catered to diverse needs, integrating private offices, a large event space and collaborative areas, all while maintaining a cohesive and engaging aesthetic.
Approach: Crafting a Dynamic Workplace
The building’s layout was reimagined to be both innovative and highly functional. On the ground floor, a mix of private offices was designed on the west side and a split-level event space for up to 200 people on the east side, facilitating both focused work and large gatherings. The upper floors were transformed into an open-plan layout, incorporating desks, collaborative spaces and quiet booths to encourage productivity and interaction. Creative solutions for signage were developed and glass manifestation with a mix of frosted and solid vinyl was used to add visual interest to a long corridor. In the basement, each of the ten meeting rooms was uniquely themed, reflecting the company’s quirky style and fostering a creative atmosphere.
Result: an Inspiring and Cohesive Tech Hub
The final project delivered a tech hub that exceeded Techspace’s expectations. With a well-balanced mix of private and collaborative spaces, and creative design elements, the building now serves as a dynamic and engaging environment that perfectly captures the spirit of the company and its community.
