We were tasked to create a “mini” show office with minimum budget to demonstrate the versatility of space usage within this office, and to show that an office with dark stained floors can be fun as well. This office has a ceiling height of 3.6 metres (estimated) with the current false ceiling (original ceiling runs up to 4.8 metres (est) with pipes and trunking running overhead).

We have segregated the office into two distinct spaces, a formal work space and an informal discussion space near the pantry. The work space can be expanded to house 9 work stations comfortably while maintaining the discussion area, or an additional 6 work stations can be added in place of the discussion area.
