About Block Interiérový design kanceláře
Block je interiérový design kanceláře o rozloze 41 metrů čtverečních. Kancelář byla vytvořena pro poradenskou a vzdělávací firmu zaměřenou na lidské zdroje, která potřebovala prostor pro týmové schůzky a školicí akce. Nízké stropy a malá plocha představovaly hlavní výzvy. Nábytkové prvky jsou uspořádány jako série volně plovoucích funkčních bloků umístěných podél stěny připomínající galerii, v souladu s principy stylu Prairie School. Tyto bloky obsahují funkce jako stravovací servis a tisk. Vstupní foyer slouží jako recepce, prostor pro krátké porady, školicí místnost a prostor pro koktejlové akce. Použity jsou světlý dub, měď a mramor Calacatta.

Behind the Design
Press Kit

- Unique Properties
- The client, an HR advisory & training firm, needed an office that could communicate openness and could facilitate different interactions from team huddles to training events. The space, however, presented some challenges: low ceilings (7 ft 4) and a small enclosure (41sqm). Referencing the Prairie School, cabinetry are conceived as a series of floating functional blocks embedded along a gallery-like wall inviting the occupant to follow along. Other areas then allow for flexible programming whilst maximizing spatial efficiency.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Total area 41 square meters

- Production Technology
- Materiality leans towards warm, textural and light finishes, with abundant usage of light oak, copper and calacatta marble. Materials chosen have been vetted based on sustainability certifications.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge was space-planning in a small area and executing a design that could satisfy the various occupant needs of the client.
- Research
- Thorough research was conducted to understand the business needs of the company. It was found that the office experienced fluctuations in occupancies due to working from home, itinerant workers/freelancers, and hosting of small to large scale events. As such, precedent research was conducted to derive spatial solutions that were relevant to each case/ occasion. Research was also conducted into historical styles where their principles could be applied where relevant.
- Inspiration
- The 19th C. architectural style Prairie School often featured horizontal bands of windows and lines that would direct one’s attention to the horizontal, de-emphasizing the ceiling height. The functional blocks in this project manifest this idea; they achieve the objective of expanding the space while each serving essential functions such as food and beverage, printing etc. Where office space is at a premium, functionality becomes architectural device and ornamentation.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2019 and finished in June 2019.
- Operation Flow
- The space allows for flexible programming whilst maximizing spatial efficiency and privacy where needed: The entry foyer doubles as a reception, huddle space, training room and cocktail area; the backroom serves as storage for folding chairs and a private relaxation pod.
