The whole design.

The office space as a whole is 25m square. As there will be a lot going on in the room I want to keep the rest of the room fairly simple so as not to over power the employees. The floor will be entirely white vinyl, so it will be easy to clean and will keep costs down. The only other design on the floor will be the yellow brick road which will be large sheets of vinyl with the pattern on, set into the plain white.

The ceilings will be 4.5 metres high, as from my research I found that when the ceiling is higher the employees feel as though 'a weight is lifted off their shoulders'. From my research in 'The secret life of buildings' I found that this creates a calmer and more spacious atmosphere. The ceiling will also be curved, creating a huge wave like shape, and adding to the flow of the room, as well as keeping the space different so as not to conform with the mundane usual office space.

In the centre of the room is the coffee station which will be made using perspex and white materials. This is so although it is in the middle of the room, it is not the main focus, as after all the employees are there to work. The office spaces in the top left corner of the room will have glass fronts so although they are quiet inside they still feel like they are part of the space and still feel accessible.

The relaxing sofa work area, which will sit behind the curtain of ribbons going from floor to ceiling, will have a floral theme. To make them feel more homely a country cottage feel will be adopted, using products from appropriate companies such as Laura Ashley.

The old red phone booths are mostly to add a bit of colour and fun to the room, but will also serve a purpose.

All together I feel I have designed a space relevant to my research, and developed ideas from others, merging them with my own. I feel like this would be a fun space to work in, but would also increase productivity much like the Interpolis building in Holland. I have also tried to keep costs down where I can to reduce the original construction costs, and make the office space into an investment, where people can work and be happy at the same time.
