Big SEE Interior Design Award 2020 / Winner
Best of Year Award 2020 / Project Honoree
Best of 2020 by Archello / Project Mention
We won over the top architectural studios in an international competition for an above-standard network of co-working offices. Our concept best fulfilled the client’s idea, the development company Penta Real Estate. BASE shared offices are aimed primarily at managers and employees of medium-sized and large enterprises, from corporations to agencies. Namely users who are used to a high standard. We have created a boutique atmosphere that is not very common in co-working offices.
We were inspired by the markets’ architecture and the interactions that take place in the marketplace. People buy, sell, and mainly share here. We transferred this idea to the work environment. We wanted to create an imaginary ‘creative market’ where people would sell their ideas and enrich the ideas of others. In short, an environment that will stimulate creativity. The heart of community life represents the zone with a view of Prague Castle and the busy main railway station. On the contrary, offices and meeting rooms promote individualism and concentration. Common areas can be easily adapted, mainly thanks to flexible furniture. As a result, over a hundred people can fit here.
The project flew at a very fast pace – only eight months passed from design to implementation – thanks to the creation of a building information model (BIM), we were able to coordinate the project in real-time effectively, have an overview of all ongoing work and the progress of other experts. Thanks to the project’s digitization, we were able to present every aspect of the design to the client. The project won the Winner award in the Workplace category in an international architecture competition, the Big SEE Interior Design Award 2020.
