Located in Surabaya, Indonesia, VG Office is a renovation project with the area of 74 m2. The existing building consists of 3 levels, and we designed an internal office on the second floor and a classroom on the third floor. The internal office will be occupied with maximum of 6 people, while the classroom will be occupied with 30 people. The client’s preference ambience for the office is a light but unique atmosphere to support the working ethics and the creativity of its worker.

 

The main idea of the second floor was to divide some spaces appropriately based on every individual occupation without decreasing the communication intensity of each person. As the result, we think a transparent partition is a perfect way to support the idea, the user inside the partition has a privacy as well. Also with a glass partition, it allows the daylight to lighten up the room, reducing the use of artificial lighting.

 

The strategy was different on the third floor as we seek a different ambient. The placement of 360 local Kerawang Stones was transformed a strong image of the third floor into a wild but tidy area. The natural red color of the Kerawang Stone is well-blended with white, it is a perfect wall color to balance the classroom. Also we applied wood vinyl flooring for budget efficiency.
