The layout places emphasis on three major spacescollaborative research, demo/product testing, and education/debrief. These areas are arranged so that there is an interlocking space flow from one to the next, and there is space for interaction between them.

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT

IIDA, ASID VA/WV Student Interior Design Excellence Award / First Place

Objective

To design a coworking office that supports three client types: a local tech company, separate drop in clients, and small businesses; the space will address rising coworking needs and tie back to the local community.

Location

The office is located in historic downtown Roanoke in an existing Neoclassical era building.

C O N C E P T

“Ghost signs”, or fading advertisements painted on building facades, are present across downtown Roanoke and serve as a window to the past, creating visual layers of history in the area. Inspired by these ghost signs that make up the fabric of downtown, the Strata coworking space layers past and present, with the base layer inspired by the existing neoclassical architecture of the building, and the subsequent layers consisting of more modern furniture and materials. Different materials and transparencies are layered throughout the space to create varying degrees of privacy and collaboration, and to visually embody the concept of layers. map of location and adjacent ghost signs
