art4d: What made you decide to design a co-working space and how does this work offer what people expect from future co-working spaces?
Nitkorn: We can see this change in the way young people work nowadays, how they run a business without the need to have a physical workplace. I started thinking about creating a working space specifically designed to support these groups of people, including freelance workers. The design divides the space into different zones, for both group users and individual users, but each zone is designed to meet users’ varying functional requirements.
art4d: How is the façade important to this design?
Nitikorn: The façade creates this dimension of natural light and shadow and how they are beautifully cast on the building, which gives this wonderful natural feel. In terms of functionality, the façade helps filter the sunlight. The material I used with this project is SCG D’COR Modeena model and the floor decorating material from SCG D’COR Saver model in cement color. It’s minimal, simple and it answers to the current design trend quite well.
