D ETAIL

COWORKING SPACE As Office workers are at risk of the effects of hours of poor posture, no exposure to natural lighting, and uninterrupted stress. The first to focus on human health and wellbeing as it is incorporated into the workplace environment. This can be done by improving: air quality, natural light, thermal comfort, movement, community, and general interior layout as it affects health, satisfaction, wellbeing, and staff productivity. Also, these days, the shared workplace trend has attracted a diverse group of people including entrepreneurs, independent contractors, remote workers, startups and even large corporations. And in large cities where office space is often prohibitively expensive, they are becoming an increasingly attractive option. Therefore designing a space which can enhance the human health & wellbeing during their working environment and to bring their best & most productive selves to their job. The space where wellness, safety and collaboration take the highest order of priority.

Good lighting is well-distributed, is not too dim or too strong, and uses minimal energy. Day lighting is a significant factor for pleasant interior conditions. Without sufficient day lighting, people cannot perform well and healthy. Daylighting, or using sunlight to illuminate our building, is an effective way to both decrease our building’s energy use and make the interior environment more comfortable for people.

2.1 PROXEMICS Proxemics is a study used to define relationships between humans within concerning proximity. It’s the study of how people interact with each other as well as space and relates to social, physical and psychological aspects of space as well as the way spaces are planned it helps design spaces in which there can be comfortable movement in physical as well as psychological sense. The theories of proxemics talk about proximity in relation with space and humans which directly affects the spatial planning in a space. The following principals of layout determine the way people interact based on proximity :

SOCIO FUGAL S PAC E Here, the furniture is arranged in a linear organization or solo seating such that interaction is discouraged. it also includes a parallel seating which is more formal, but it allows limited communication. Hence in the focus work area, the socio fugal arrangement is considered which provide proximity but discourage interactions.

zones which

are:

a. Intimate zone relates to comfort, affection and protection.it is the most sensitive zone and is within a range of 18 inches from the point of contact. b. Personal zone spans between 18 inches to 4 feet. Penetration in the personal space by known individuals is considered a comfortable distance. Arrangement of furniture at right angles lead to penetration in personal space. c. Social zone spans from 4 to 12 feet distance and can be either formal or informal depending on the contact. furniture arrangement where people sit across each other’s and talk at normal voice levels is considered to be under a social zone. d. Public zone spreads beyond 12 feet. It is mainly when there is an address to a large crowd or when little or no interaction is to be encouraged.

This includes the application of ergonomics in planning where the communication pattern is set and the desired distance between colleagues as well as per person area allocation. Per person area distribution varies from the floor area of an office, but 110sq.ft. allocation is considered as a favorable condition.

Organizational flexibility also play a vital role in the optimization of space since flexible, integrated spaces and spatial elements which can open to be one, facilitates integration and overlapping of functions and multipurpose usage of space. Employee’s flexibility allows the employees to choose their work environment amongst various alternate working environments. This leads to freedom of choice and sense of belonging which positively impacts their performance. the concept of unassigned seating compliments employee’s flexibility. Here, technology plays a vital role in facilitating flexibility.

A collaboration space should be much more than a gathering place. They’re able to provide their team members with effective tools that allow them to easily share ideas, problem solve and creatively innovate.

DESIGN CONCEPT The office designed emphasizing a lot on the future of work environment. The aim is to encourage interaction while not compromising on the autonomy of a workspace. It is an open plan workspace which is broken down into distinct concept spaces. considering the creative process of the company which involve fuzzy thinking and blur boundaries between old and new and move seamlessly across one media form to another and to change, grow, adapt, the concept of overlapping functions was developed. There are series of overlapping programs created, which keep alternating amongst each other. three broader concepts are: -

the concept is to have each space the exist individually while working seamlessly to create a cohesive working environment.

Forced air HVAC system is used to main the thermal temperature of the space . Their is proper distribution of cooling outlets and inlets so the indoor temperature remain comfortable for people and they perform their task well.
