Entry Description

Revitalized a 150 years old house into a co-working space – Since the house is located in the historic district in town, we redesigned the interior of the house instead of retouching its exterior. We noticed that each floor is elevated step by step as you move further away from the entrance level. Thus our design concept is named “STEP” which was inspired by the different levels of each room. The facility has a semi-public space, a meeting space, share desks, and a private office on the top floor. Each room is connected by a walk-through path, multiple rooms will be used at the same time.

Bio
