In Sync : Lets work together
Co-working Office Space
Completed March 2017
Project brief
Creators' Foundry is a co-working office space that allows companies to rent out portions of the building for use. This 15,000 sq. ft building is located near downtown Savannah with easy access to parking and I-16.
A client was given to us by our professor. She left us all to find two other clients for the space . The intent for this building was to design it in a way where people in the office are both productive and comfortable at the same time. Office spaces aren’t the way they use to be. No more linear straight walls or fixed office spaces to work at. The line between workspace and home are becoming a blur. Offices are starting to enhance the functionality of their spaces while still making it a productive yet creative space. This was the inspiration of my office design. To create a place that promotes a person(s) to further push themselves and create unique things.

Concept words: vivid, flexibility, energy
Concept
For our minds to function we all need a comfortable setting where we can sit down and explore ideas. A place where the vivid colors and patterns trigger the creative juices in our brain. So that positive energy can bounce from one individual to the other, channeling ideas that further inspire others.
materials
All the materials within each space are accompanied by pops of color such as read and yellow. These vibrant colors are balanced with neutrals and patterns to not make them stand out but to make them blend into the design. Flooring materials are a mix between indoors and outdoors. Concrete and artificial grass is used along with cork and carpet to separate the different spaces also keeping zoning in mind of private, public, and semi-private.
