The whole space volume, which is 9.4m in length 3.9m in width and 4.4m in height, is under consideration in order to create a place for the studio in such a limited space. With a faith of technology changing workplace and mobile working, we see it as a workplace space experiment in the office design.

The verticality space is the center of the studio, defined by a set of inbuilt furniture, integrating with storge, IT hub, staircase and bar area. There are mixed-use spaces, to support work activities, and more importantly to encourage communication and interaction.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Information technology has tremendous influential in shaping the office organization and office work. The use of the wireless network, the 5G and the handheld devices enable people to access the information and communication not only in the form of voice and text but also in the forms of image and video at almost any place and anytime. These technologies have enabled people to access information without losing the mobility and greatly transform office workplaces, making the office more foot-loose, more mobile, and more virtual in both physical and organizational terms.
Therefore, besides providing an anchor point in the increasingly virtual world, we deliberate to make it a hub, where offering a resource for networking, training, discussing and sharing knowledge, a place where people interact and into which employee and external collaborators alike can plug.
CHALLENGE: The objectives are to create a workplace which is firstly, space and cost efficiencies; secondly, easily adapted to different working setting; thirdly, highly collaborative; and finally, to build a community. In such a limited space, which is 9.4m in length 3.9m in width and 4.4m in height, how to achieve these objectives and how to accommodate different working pattern for knowledge workers are a challenge.
