Honoree for Interior Design’s Best of Year award: As work from home has become the norm, many people have grown tired of mixing their personal and professional spaces. The home/work Coworking space provides a peaceful, light-filled, and comfortable dedicated workspace – marketed primarily to the residents of the apartment complex in which it is located.

With the linearity of the space, the design team focused on the concept of rhythm in planning, which created a sense of continuity throughout. Repetitive elements like the pendant light fixtures and private offices form the underlying rhythm of the space. The exterior storefront is lined with another repetitive element:  a series of chamfered frames – echoing the branding of the building – which are outlined with light and create a striking visual after dark. 

A series of focal points punctuates the overall rhythm of the space. The library, at the far end, provides a warm and enclosed space for informal meetings.  The break area, open to the main space, offers a large communal table. Aligned with the entrances to the space, both from outside and the internal amenity spaces, is the lounge seating area, with comfortable seating in the midst of the open office space. The phone / conversation booths form the other end of the space, providing a place for private conversations.
