Conceptualising the 350sqm premises, DPA explored how design can be used as a powerful tool to reach out to youths of today; to influence the way they reimagine and identify with space while nurturing values within them. These were achieved through the introduction of a distinctive modular and interactive grid furniture system that iterates with various plug-in elements. Three key design strategies were applied to realise such an open workplace: 1) Canvas Allowing Sense of Ownership & Participation The design acts as a canvas for customisable spaces via tiered bleachers on wheels, loose seating and individual pedestals which can pack back into the cabinetry, enabling flexibility in the space.
