Design Challenge: The design makes the best use out of the extra height of the space by elevating the seating level of the common area to create a more personal space for users. Additionally, the spatial manipulation that ends up creating varying seating levels makes the coworking space more spacious and open, enabling users to have a wider view of the floor thanks to the descending seating levels that prevent the seats from obstructing each other view.
Research: Having been informed about the concept and the idea of an office with diverse alternative space, the design team works with the requirements and studies the nature of the business, as well as the owner preferences and demands, and equally important, the employee behaviors. The design is later reconciled into a workspace with two different sections.

Inspiration: Soco Work takes inspiration from how Thai people like to season their food to have the taste closest to their personal preferences. The design concept, therefore, picks up on the approach eventually creating different styles of workspace to prospective tenants images and lifestyle, just like a variety of meticulously cooked dishes. The design also enables the spaces to be managed with the greatest efficiency, while strengthening the project strong points by increasing options for tenants.
Project Duration: Soco Work is located at Lasalle Road, the suburb area of Bangkok, Thailand. The project is started in October 2021 and completed in January 2022.
