About Block Notranja oblikovanje pisarne

Block je notranje oblikovanje pisarne, ki obsega 41 kvadratnih metrov. Pisarna je bila zasnovana za svetovalno in izobraževalno podjetje na področju kadrovskih virov, ki je potrebovalo prostor za timske sestanke in izobraževalne dogodke. Nizki stropovi in majhna površina so predstavljali glavne izzive. Omare so razporejene kot niz plavajočih funkcionalnih blokov, postavljenih vzdolž stene, podobne galeriji, po načelih sloga Prairie School. Bloki vsebujejo funkcije, kot sta strežba hrane in tiskanje. Vhodna avla služi kot recepcija, prostor za kratke sestanke, učilnica in prostor za druženje ob pijači. Uporabljeni so svetli hrast, baker in marmor Calacatta.

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.
