It is an office interior project to accommodate employees and managers in many different departments. The project floor consists of 3 separate buildings. Members of the client have been spreading over each floor of each building, which is not easily accessible to each other.
Therefore, the first main target of this project is to create a sense of unity by inducing better communication. Secondly, the work efficiency of each member and synergy between them. Thirdly, they needed a delightful atmosphere in this new office, so that employees are inspired and motivated in their daily work.
For the reasons above, the working space is required not to be divided by the departments but open and connected, with the exception of the accountant department for security reasons. The manager area needs to be semi-open for their confidential document and privacy.
In order to achieve an “open yet enclosed, public yet private” space for an office interior in Hanoi, Vietnam, we propose a screen design with 3-dimensional concrete blocks.
The “Woven Screen” is our modern take on traditional Vietnamese perforated terracotta block walls, to optimize the interior airflow environment and light condition, as well as to create a space for better communication and creative working condition.
Unlike traditional screens, this screen has no heads and tails. This demonstrates how the concept was realized, uniting space and people, and sharing an ambiance.
