BRIEF:

The aim of the project was to design a simple and stylish coworking space with six workstations, meeting facilities, shared dining, and printing areas. The brief also included garden design and a lighting concept. The proposal involves removing an existing technical room to create a larger, more open coworking area.

​

CONCEPT: 

The coworking space forms the social and spatial core of the building and serves as the first point of contact upon entry. The entrance area functions as an extension of the coworking zone, offering space for short waiting or informal meetings. The atmosphere is defined by a bold pink PINKPILL neon sign, acting both as an interior landmark and a visual element facing the street. Beneath the neon, a high bench with a table and bar stools is designed for meetings, work, or lunch. Greenery softens the space and adds a welcoming character.

 

Custom-designed work desks are the main feature of the coworking area. Their layout maximises the floor plan without creating dead zones. The desks have rounded shapes with no sharp edges and organically extend from the walls. Each workstation includes integrated power sockets, lighting, pinboards, storage drawers, and a mobile pedestal. The desks are designed in wood, with options for natural, bleached, or subtly coloured finishes.

 

The walls function as a gallery for graphics, artwork, or personal objects and are also equipped with coat hooks. The printing area is located near the entrance and designed as a discreet yet easily accessible part of the space.

 

Lighting was a key design topic. Due to exposed concrete ceilings without prepared installations, a simple wooden or steel structure was developed to allow flexible suspension of lights and planters. This system keeps the lighting adaptable to future changes.

The garden extends the coworking space as a calm, community-oriented area. A wooden terrace is complemented by a grill, a large picnic table, and mobile greenery. The landscaped part includes lawn areas, climbing plants, and a fire pit for informal gatherings. A water element contributes to a calming atmosphere and supports biodiversity. A key feature of the garden is a simple wooden pavilion for meetings and workshops, designed in two versions: a lightweight seasonal structure with shading, or a fully enclosed year-round pavilion.

 

The overall concept creates an open, flexible, and community-focused environment that connects work, social interaction, and outdoor use.
