This is an exploration on how a tiny office could accommodate a range of functions and encourage employee well-being, whilst staying spatially efficient and aesthetically curious. The client, an HR advisory and training firm based in Hong Kong, needed an office that could give employees a feeling of ‘openness’ whilst enabling a range of interactions from team huddles, social activities to training events. The space, however, presented some challenges: low ceilings (7’4”) and a small enclosure (41 sqm). The solution: A cue was taken from the interiors of the early 20th century style ‘Prairie School’ where horizontal bands of windows and lines would direct one’s attention to the ‘horizontal’, away from the ceiling height. In much the same vein, cabinetry in the space are conceived as a series of floating ‘functional blocks’ embedded along a peripheral gallery-like wall that invites occupants to follow its horizontal path (as shown in diagram.) Each ‘functional block’ fulfils an essential purpose, whether it be ‘stationary & printing’ or ‘food & beverage’, and is celebrated as an aesthetic curiosity. The remaining areas then allow for flexible programming and formal and informal interactions, maximizing spatial efficiency. For instance, the entry foyer doubles as a reception, huddle space, training room and social area; the backroom for folding chairs and as well as a relaxation pod. Fluctuations in occupancies due to hiring of freelancers, sporadic work from home arrangements, and hosting of small to large scale events are easily satisfied. Materials lean towards the light, warm, and textural, and were chosen with regards to environmental impact. This spatial configuration also allows natural light to be drawn to the common areas of the space, enhancing comfort and well-being.
