This is the second year we have set a project for the BHC School of Design 2nd year students and Stephen Lew. Students were asked to select one of four companies to design an office space, using Entrawood’s Evolution range. They had to consider the company’s employees needs relating to privacy or noise, as well as collaboration and relaxation, making the most of the available space.
We provided them with a CAD drawing of a loft office space. Everyone had to work with the same layout and furniture whilst expressing each company’s unique identity and work culture.
Select one of the following companies:
- Getaway Magazine – Editors, Journalists, Photographers, Admin staff etc. – Reporting on travel destinations and adventure ideas
- Pinterest – Developers, Directors, Admin staff etc. – The most popular platform to share pictures about the things that interest you.
- Takealot.com – Buyers, Customer services, Logistics, Design & IT etc. – Delivering the latest gadgets, goods and inventions in record time
- Food Lover’s Market – Logistics, Buyers, Accounts, HR, cafeteria – They love/supply good, fresh, healthy food/produce.
As part of your office design choose one area (reception, employee communal (relaxation) space or collaboration/meeting area) to fully express/communicate your concept.
Here are a few of the projects we liked (in no particular order) more coming every few days
