About Soco Work Coworking Space

Soco Work är en ny typ av coworking space som utformats för att tillgodose användare som ändrar livsstil, och föreslår nya definitioner av vad en coworking space kan vara. Soco Work hämtar inspiration från hur thailändare gillar att krydda sin mat för att få den smak som ligger närmast deras personliga preferenser. Designkonceptet tar därför upp det tillvägagångssätt som så småningom skapar olika stilar av arbetsutrymmen för att heltäckande tillgodose potentiella hyresgästerbilder och livsstil. Designen gör det också möjligt att hantera utrymmena med största effektivitet och stärker projektets starka sidor.

Production Technology: The project incorporates the security system in which QR Code is used for the members with different types of membership faster and safer. The QR Code system also includes a daily update, preventing any key card from being reused while guaranteeing a higher level of safety and security. In addition, the project also provides a hotdesk booking system where members are able to check the daily availability of seats including their favorite or preferred seats.
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. Soco Work combines the terms Solutions for Office and Coworking Space, With this core concept comes the name of the project, Soco Work, which is the combination of the terms Solution for Office and Coworking space.
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.
Operation Flow: Soco Work is conceived from an intention to find the most suitable answer for the changing behaviors of young generation Thai workforce.

This makes it more than ready to handle changes and unpredictabilities in the constantly evolving world.
