I have always been interested in modular offices spaces, and thus I wanted to incorporate a modular system in my design. Because I wanted my workspace to cater to those in the design/architectural industry, it was imperative that there was a mixture of private, semi-private and public workspaces available to facilitate different types of discussions between clients, specialists and other teams. 

 

I came up with a pixellated design for my overall form, as it allowed me to create informal terraced spaces throughout the office building. Furthermore, the apertures created in the facade allowed for ample natural light to penetrate into the building, reducing the need for artificial light sources. In addition, the feature void cutting diagonally through the centre of the office building creates interesting light and shadow play withn the atrium.

 

Having realised that a 4.2 x 4.2m space can comfortably house a small team of  2-4 workers, I wanted to see how the modules could be customised and configured should a larger company want to rent the space. Thus, I came up with duo modules in which the partition wall could be removed to open up the space, combining two modules into one I also added the option of a feature bay window (CUBE) that could replace the default square facade window to create a sophisticated, ultra-private discussion space for clients or other team members. This way, the building's facade would be constantly changing depending on the preferences of each team inhabiting the various modules.
