Introduction and the purpose of the competition
The task of the competition is to create a project “Co-working space”. The project should provide the possibility of dividing the space in such a way as to provide each user with enough privacy while ensuring eye contact with other users of the office.
The coworking space should have a place to meet the client as well as a social zone and a chillout area (rest, relaxation).
It is important to present the train of thought and reasons for subsequent creative design decisions, as well as to present the detail.
When designing, the role of lighting in the designed solution and, if relevant, in its immediate surroundings should be taken into account, taking into account the visual and impression effect caused by light. It is important to remember about adapting the lighting to the various functions performed by the Coworking Space, the required lighting levels and the need to create an appropriate lighting climate, as well as about the safety of use related to the distribution of the luminous flux as well as the safety resulting from connecting to the power supply.
The project requires:
- General explanation of space layout, size and standard of the coworking space
- Explanation of the light used to illuminate the space locally and generally, the method use and electricity supply
