CONCEPT
This commercial building in Atlanta,
Georgia, has been renovated to become a
modern co-working environment for
independent freelancers, contractors, and
solopreneurs. Inspired by the vivid colors
and community of various sea life in the
coral reef, the interior was designed to
enhance productivity with the latest
Steelcase products while stimulating the
most creative minds and greatest thinkers
with bold colors, natural light, and modern
finishes.
RESEARCH
During the research stage of this project, I
researched current trends in office design.
Reading articles from Steelcase’s journal,
Turnstone 360˚, inspired my design to be
an open collaborative office that embodies
a since of community and communication I
was also able to visit the Steelcase website
and the Steelcase showroom in Dallas to
familiarize myself with their products and
the products’ functions.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
This office was designed with sustainability
in mind to meet the client’s requirements.
Many of the Steelcase products and
finishes used contained recycled materials.
The carpet that was used by Interface was
also made of 100% recycled content. LED
lighting was used to ensure energy
efficiency and plants were incorporated into
each floor to provide a healthy indoor air
quality.
