Designbureau was commissioned to design a 300 m2. co-working space, which would function under Impact Hub brand in Tbilisi, Georgia. The premises were part of a larger brownfield development of an old textile factory into a modern multi-functional space including 380 bed hotel / hostel, office spaces, cafes, craft studios and other commercial spaces. Designbureau in collaboration with Impact Hub Tbilisi team organized a co-design workshop, whereby we gathered future community members, showed them the shell of the premises and harvested their ideas on the space design. Given the fact that Impact Hub is a very much community driven enterprise we wanted to engage the community at the very beginning of the design phase. The workshop allowed us to better understand the community’s needs, desires and feelings. We asked specific questions such as: where would you feel most comfortable setting up your workstation, where would you like to relax, what do you need in the meeting room, etc. We created few sketches on the desired layout during the workshop and took accurate notes as to what the community was looking for in their future co-working space. The space was divided into three offices, two meeting rooms, co-working space, kitchen and two breakout/relaxation areas.
