O faufautua maulalo ma se avanoa la'ititi o ni lu'itau tetele. O totonu fale (cabinetry) ua fa'atulagaina e pei o se faasologa o poloka galulue e "opeopea" e fa'atatau i luga o se puipui e pei o se falemataaga, e mulimuli i mataupu faavae o le sitaili Prairie School. O poloka nei e iai a latou galuega e pei o le tautuaina o taumafa ma le lomiga. O le fale-ulufale e fai ma nofoaga mo talia'iga, taliga o tagata, potu a'oa'oga ma le nofoaga mo kokutini. O oka Oak mama, apamemea, ma le maamora Calacatta o mea na fa'aogaina.

Pepa Fa'asalalau

Fa'amaoniaga, sui o le 'au ma fa'amatalaga fa'atekinisi na saunia e le tagata mamanu.

Uiga Fa'apitoa: 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.
Fua & Fa'apipi'i: Total area 41 square meters
Ceiling height 7 ft 4 in
Fa'ailoga: Office, Ceiling Height, Flexible Space, Prairie School, Cabinetry
Tekonolosi Gaosiga: 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.
Lu'itau o le Mamanu: The biggest challenge was space-planning in a small area and executing a design that could satisfy the various occupant needs of the client.
Su'esu'ega: 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.
Fa'aosofia: 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.
Umi o le Poloketi: The project started in January 2019 and finished in June 2019.
Fa'agasologa o Galuega: 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.
