About Block Reka Bentuk Dalaman Pejabat

Block adalah reka bentuk dalaman pejabat yang meliputi keluasan 41 meter persegi. Pejabat ini dicipta untuk sebuah firma perundingan dan latihan sumber manusia yang memerlukan ruang untuk mesyuarat pasukan dan acara latihan. Siling yang rendah dan kawasan yang kecil merupakan cabaran utama. Almari disusun sebagai satu siri blok fungsian terapung yang diletakkan di sepanjang dinding seperti galeri, mengikut prinsip gaya Prairie School. Blok-blok ini menampung fungsi seperti perkhidmatan makanan dan pencetakan. Ruang legar pintu masuk berfungsi sebagai kaunter penerimaan tetamu, ruang berkumpul, bilik latihan dan kawasan koktel. Kayu oak terang, kuprum dan marmar Calacatta digunakan.

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.
