Unique Properties

This project is a creative coworking spaces. Reuse the obsolete letter installations from an exhibition and make use of the linear tension of geometry and enframed scenery technique, allowing the workspace and the art to transform to a modern and minimalist artistic ambiance.

Dimensions & Packaging

The project is 500 square meter.

Production Technology

The big letter installations placed in the workspace give a new life to the space and they symbolize the reuse of facilities and diverse uses in the space. Introduce non-profit architecture and design website organizations, product research and development organizations, handicraft design organizations and exhibition organizations, revealing the value of multicultural and artistic integration.

Design Challenge

Considering the movability and identity, the designer incorporates the installations to the workplace as public art and fence of the space. The rich colors of the installation complement with the color arrangement of the space. Simple and gentle wooden furniture are used, available for different needs. Industrious iron frames and transparent glass partitions not only work as the boundary of the space but also allow the transmission of light and shadow from the windows. The bright white wall is best for exhibitions. The cold iron frames form a large area of public and shared art discussion space. The occupation of on-profit design website organizations and product creative design organizations improves the diversity of the workspace, achieve the goal of sharing and sustainable cross-industry discussion.

Project Duration

The project finished in October 2017 in Taichung, Taiwan.

Operation Flow

Many iron pieces seem irrelevant or cold, but they can be assembled quickly and form a space. The semitransparent space with net can be used as a display room. The metal net plates are used to form a space needed immediately. The loop layout leads and guides people unintentionally. The large area of glass and desks and chairs without partitions make it possible to transform to different work patterns immediately, no matter it is for making models, meeting discussions, drawing or teamwork.

Research

The letter installations were designed considering the activity factors such as passengers’ coming and going in the railway station and gathering of foreign workers. Be originally inspired by reusing the letter installations and considers the story and identity of the space, the designer includes creative elements to the design and continues the spirit of diverse cultural activities and exhibitions, combines minimalist aesthetics with pure beauty of the space, revealing modern design aesthetics with the reuse of facilities.

Inspiration

The design is inspired by constant flow of people going in and out of railway stations and multicultural integration, combining with the concept of space sharing.
