| DESIGN NAME: Evergreen Nexus PRIMARY FUNCTION: Workspace INSPIRATION: The concept for revitalizing a 30-year-old workspace emerged from a visit to the local rainforest, which highlighted the natural layers and vibrant dynamics of this unique ecosystem. The design aims to transform the workspace into a human-centric environment that not only refreshes its aesthetic but also fosters interaction and enhances daily productivity. The rainforest’s multi-layered structure comprising the forest floor, undergrowth, and canopy serves as a metaphor for organizing the workspace into distinct yet interconnected zones. These layers represent different functions within the office, encouraging collaboration and focused work while reflecting the rainforest’s dynamic beauty. Inspired by the rainforest, the workspace will feature a color scheme of deep greens, rich browns, and vibrant tropical accents. These colors will be incorporated through painted walls, natural wood furniture, and botanical-themed décor, evoking the serene yet stimulating environment of the rainforest. Mimicking the rainforest’s layers, the workspace will be divided into functional zones. Open areas will encourage team interactions, while secluded nooks will provide quiet spaces for focused tasks. This arrangement promotes both collaboration and individual productivity. To replicate the rainforest’s immersive environment, a variety of indoor plants will be introduced, including large leafy varieties and smaller ferns. A vertical garden or living wall can serve as a central feature, enhancing the space’s visual appeal and air quality. Background sounds of rain and rustling leaves will be integrated to create a calming atmosphere. Natural textures in acoustic panels will further enrich the sensory experience, supporting a serene work environment. This transformation will not only modernize the workspace but also cultivate a dynamic and human-centric environment, inspired by the layers and beauty of the local rainforest. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project uniquely bridges nature with users by integrating natural elements and light into the workspace. Key features include a reflective ceiling in the lobby and common areas that enhances spatial height, and daylight and tree movement simulations in open voids to improve visual connectivity across floors. Live greenery in pocket spaces acts as both a privacy divider and air purifier. These elements address spatial constraints, enhance sensory experiences, and support environmental, social, and governance goals, promoting overall user well-being and comfort. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The workspace design aims to enhance transparency, natural light, and innovation. Technology and design improvements address the original building's lack of natural light, promoting well-being and leaving a positive impression on visitors. Digital walls in the lobby display soothing waterfalls, and simulation of outdoor lighting throughout creates a serene atmosphere. The design focuses on functionality and well-being by blending open spaces with privacy measures and strategic circulation. Break-out areas encourage departmental interaction, and clear pathways for visitors support focused work. This holistic approach improves workflow efficiency and fosters a dynamic, collaborative workplace culture. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, this project began in October 2023 and efficiently finished by March 2024. It started with demolition and planning, smoothly moving to fit-out after demolition. The fast pace demonstrated a dedication to efficiency and meeting deadlines. Despite the rapid progress, careful attention to detail ensured a balanced blend of innovation and practicality at every stage. This project showcases how synchronized planning and execution can achieve outstanding outcomes within strict timeframes. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: In designing our space, we carefully managed the challenges of working in an older building. We focused on how people move through the space. Using clever technology, we opened up walls to create more room. Reflective materials made the area seem larger than it is. Adding artificial daylight brought more energy into the space. Our design balanced how things work with how they look, finding new ways to make the building more user-friendly and innovative. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 6,505 sqm TAGS: Workspace, Office, Green, Open-concept, Human-Centric, Collaboration, Interactive, Health-conscious RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The challenge lies in integrating a green conscience design concept into the workspace that aligns with the client's values of promoting green energy and community health. It's essential to create a design that not only reflects their corporate image but also prioritizes well-being and fosters collaboration among users effectively. Balancing these elements requires thorough research and innovative solutions to ensure the final design meets both functional and ethical criteria. CHALLENGE: The reconstruction of the workspace faced numerous challenges requiring innovative solutions. Tight deadlines demanded efficient processes, while the building's age of 30 years posed structural hurdles. We carefully dismantled sections to gather detailed insights for our design. On-site mock-ups helped us meet diverse design expectations, ensuring alignment with team visions. Meeting strict fire safety guidelines was also challenging, requiring meticulous attention to detail. Despite these obstacles, our team navigated complexities adeptly through collaboration and strategic planning. By viewing challenges as opportunities for creativity and innovation, we ensured the workspace reflected excellence, functionality, and compliance with regulations.
