The Design

About The Incubator Commercial

The Incubator is a co-working space for start-up technology companies. The interior is planned for vitality, connectivity and flexibility, and it balances shared areas with privacy. The office has two parts: informal collaboration spaces, and individual offices and meeting rooms. Several independent functional areas can be combined into one large gathering space for communal events. Glass compartments keep the interior open and well lit. Materials with low light reflectivity, matt surfaces and anti-fingerprint finishes ease maintenance.

Unique Properties: The Incubator is a co-working space and nurturing hub for start-up technology companies. Considering its business nature, we intend to create a working environment with vitality, connectivity and flexibility.
Our design succeeded in fulfilling the needs of public spaces and privacy. The office is comprised of 2 segments: the informal collaboration spaces and individual offices and meeting rooms, which catered for communal events, cross-company interaction as well as private working spaces.

Design Challenge: Materials are carefully picked, visual comfort with low light reflectivity and matt surface, soft touch, anti-fingerprint, thermal healing of superficial micro scratches provides easy maintenance of the space.
Through the use of glass compartments, the overall space is spacious and well-lighted whether it has an external window or not; the top lighting frame is matched with the regular grid to modify the open pipeline in the ceiling.
Inspiration: When stepping into the place, visitors are greeted by the metallic green panel, also greenery set on the light troughs in main office, which foresees the environment-oriented business and creates a relaxed space for idea exchange.
Different from traditional companies, this incubator requires greater flexibility with few fixed work stations. Considering this, the designer created several independent functional areas, which can conduct a large holistic gathering space when combined together.
