DESIGN NAME: The Incubator
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Commercial
INSPIRATION: When stepping into the place, visitors are greeted by the metallic green panel, also greenery set on the light troughs in main office, which foresees the environment-oriented business and creates a relaxed space for idea exchange.
Different from traditional companies, this incubator requires greater flexibility with few fixed work stations. Considering this, the designer created several independent functional areas, which can conduct a large holistic gathering space when combined together.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Incubator is a co-working space and nurturing hub for start-up technology companies. Considering its business nature, we intend to create a working environment with vitality, connectivity and flexibility.
Our design succeeded in fulfilling the needs of public spaces and privacy. The office is comprised of 2 segments: the informal collaboration spaces and individual offices and meeting rooms, which catered for communal events, cross-company interaction as well as private working spaces.
