“ LEARN THE RULES LIKE A PRO, SO YOU CAN BREAK THEM LIKE AN ARTIST” - PABLO PICASSO
ABOUT
MY PASSION TOWARDS DESIGN BROUGHT ME TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL IN THE DESIGN WORLD. DESIGN TO ME STARTED WHEN I WAS A CHILD PLAYING WITH DOLLHOUSES AND LAYING OUT SPACES. ALSO, I ENJOY ART AND THIS BROUGHT ME ON CREATING SPACES THAT SHOWCASE THE BEAUTY OF PICASSO. MY STYLE FOCUSES ON MODERN AND ELEGANT DESIGN FEATURING RICH TEXTURE AND AESTHETIC ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS THAT WILL CREATE A WORK OF ART.

CO-WORKING ENVIRONMENTS IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT ECONOMY WITH SKILLS, IDEAS, AND BUSINESS COME TOGETHER TO COLLABORATE AND DISCUSS IN A MULTI-CULTURAL WORK SPACE. THE CONCEPT WILL BE INSPIRED BY AN “ARTIST’S GALLERY” WHERE PEOPLE’S DESIGNED PROTOTYPES ARE SHOWCASED TO EXPRESS THEIR TALENTS AND CREATIVITY. THE SPACE WILL APPROACH BY THE FORM OF A “PUZZLE” TO CONNECT SPACES FOR MULTI-PURPOSE USE AND COLLABORATION RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH COLOUR CODING WITH USE OF MOBILE FURNITURE, MOVABLE PARTITION WALLS, AND IN BETWEEN SPACES. THE DESIGN WILL PROVIDE A CONNECTION THAT IS DESIRABLE FOR HUMAN POINT OF VIEW AND A MULTI-CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT.
