The preliminary design wanted to minimize the negative aspects of the open-space office concept by setting up groups/clusters that are mutually separated by divisions/wardrobes, carefully positioned acoustic absorption panels and phone booths that turn into micro-offices for teleconferences and brief meetings. The design juxtaposes the coldness of a contemporary office building and warm pastel colours and soft lines of lounge chairs in relaxation groups and brief informal meeting setups that overlap with passageways, as well as an abundance of house plants and warm lowlights.
