creating spaces

Open, Transparent and Flexible. This is required by many people for a living and working space.

A space that posesses all these functions and fulfills all the requirements challenges the user to utilize the entire space, to engage and to interact. But a room with these features can also have it’s disadvantages. For the acoustics, privacy and the possibility to focus it’s not the best option.

Furthermore, in te interior of your offices you want to take into account different types of employees in order to get the most out or your people and the environment.

We are noticing that more and more designers come up with solutions to reduce the feeling of privacy and intimacy in open workplaces and public areas. The space is then often divided into various zones in a transparent manner. Hereby, you can both enjoy the openness and the privacy and it gives you the possibility to create multiple characters in one room.

The trend ‘creating spaces’ offers protection from overstimulation, it allows intimacy in varying degrees, meets the changing needs of both humans and environment and it shows the way in which design affects the space.
