ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS alternative retrofit workspaces , KOGAA was asked to come up with a new vision for an office that fosters collaborative encounters and provides a feeling of openness and creativity , as well as finding sustainable solutions for the new company structures .
To achieve a profound change , fixed enclosing walls were replaced throughout the whole facility by transparent organic forms accommodating meeting rooms and semi-private workstations . Thanks to the flowing design , the original corridor-based layout disappeared , being replaced by organic in-between spaces that encourage relationships . Also , a boldcoloured zoning system informs areas for working and socializing , where a blue zone is for quiet and solo work , and red and orange spaces are dedicated to more interactive experiences .
