Before our redesign, SPACE10 was among one of the 35% of offices with an open plan, and often fell victim to the common tendencies of distraction, disruption and unwanted exposure that studies have shown are often the side effects of strictly open plan spaces. In collaboration with Spacon & X, SPACE10’s office was redesigned with flexibility, sustainability and community as central to its new identity. The renovated fish factory in Copenhagen’s historic meatpacking district was redesigned to have multiple types of working areas available on demand, from semi-open acoustic ‘cubes’ that encourage interaction between teams, to private chambers insulated and sound proofed with Echojazz wall panels made from recycled PET bottles. Outfitted with adjustable desks, a V/T slot system that can be rearranged and a layout that prioritises natural light and mental health, this space is made to grow with SPACE10, not for SPACE10 to grow out of. SPACE10 also houses a ground floor Gallery, a Meet & Greet and Stage area to engage our community, an open-fabrication Makery, and finally a test kitchen for our future food experiments. The biggest challenge and most fulfilling part of this redesign is that Spacon & X and SPACE10 were able to accommodate all this with as few additional materials as possible, designing with the belief that what can be kept should be kept, instead of taking the option of simply starting from scratch and using the building as a blank canvas.
