Nonetheless, the client had also previously wished to include an extraseminar and game room. So, with the allowance of circulation space, only 18.6 square meters remained. 2. Challenge -The challenge then was to create an office space with an increased density of workstations that would still be aesthetic and functional for the creative visual company. -It was also a tight budget for soft furniture and limited availability for leisure furniture. So, were there any opportunities to this seemingly difficult space? 3.Strategy -Phase Strategy.

First, in order to ensure comfort, the area and layout of the enclosed functional rooms were predetermined, and the placement of the expandable workstations replaced those of the non-essential functions (discussion and game rooms). Non-essentials were made of light and collapse structures, such as iron mesh and fabric curtains, to create a sense of separation while allowing for later change in the layout. -Space Strategy. The western side was adjacent to an outdoor terrace with good lighting, thus making it the location of the game room, providing adequate lighting while also linking with the outdoor activities.

The iron mesh partition was used to allow sunlight into the office area while forming a visual barrier from the outdoor environment and game activities. Layout wise, the hot-cold zones were clearly distinguished. For example, the discussion room, meeting room and pantry were placed at the eastern side separated by storage cabinets, bookshelves and curtains, together with the hall creating the first impression of the space. A big glass walls were used for the enclosed rooms to increase the sense of space through reflective illusions.

The original structure was kept to a maximum while the fixed furniture was arranged to dodge the existing structure, with original concrete beams used as the major elements of the space. -In terms of furniture, DIY modules of second-hand wood pallets, fruit boxes and recycled sponge were used to form indoor and outdoor leisure tables and chairs, as well as storage systems. Modular furniture enabled different combinations for the temporary discussion room, allowing for gathering, discussion and resting.

Second-hand fruit boxes became book shelves facing workstations and discussion room, and part of the three modes for the discussion room.
