Te where pukaka, building community, enabling collaboration.
Job was to rearrange campus and the museum building for Massey University.
Lots of closed off offices meant that staff would not interact with each other often, sometimes forgetting fellow staff members still worked there.
They tried to find ways to create new office solutions, and their new space is now half the size and more environmentally friendly.
Project Key Words:
Identity
Sharing
Disruption
Social
Adaptivity
Redefining
Transparency.
They did alot of research, which involved visiting other companies that had shared working office environments.
Things they wanted:
Knowledge clusters
Elastic band connection
Social Kitchens
Real work is messy, so lots of spaces to work and experiment. functional.
Islands for format
storage spaces
using all of the space
Stretch spaces
meeting boxes
dividing the spaces, yet maintaining transparency
Themed space and design space.
They designed the spaces and named them, so different area's can be used effectively and specifically for different purposes.
They tried to re-use as much of the old furniture as possible, to keep the budget to a minimum as well as to be more environmentally friendly.
their new space had nooks, social/cafe environment, lounge, relaxed working etc.
lots of prototyping and testing the space.
