About Block 오피스 인테리어 디자인

블록(Block)은 41제곱미터 규모의 오피스 인테리어 디자인이다. 이 사무실은 팀 회의와 교육 행사를 위한 공간이 필요했던 인적자원 컨설팅 및 교육 전문 기업을 위해 조성되었다. 낮은 천장고와 협소한 면적이 주요 과제였다. 수납장은 프레리 스쿨 양식의 원칙에 따라 갤러리를 연상시키는 벽면을 따라 배치된 일련의 부유하는 기능성 블록으로 구성되었다. 각 블록에는 음료·다과 서비스와 출력 등의 기능이 담겨 있다. 현관 포이어는 리셉션, 소규모 미팅 공간, 교육실, 칵테일 라운지의 역할을 겸한다. 밝은 오크, 구리, 칼라카타 대리석이 사용되었다.

Behind the Design

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
Ceiling height 7 ft 4 in
Tags: Office, Ceiling Height, Flexible Space, Prairie School, Cabinetry
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.
