Breaking down Work Spaces

Work Modules 1 & 2


Rather then having a universal office module, i have designed each module to adhere to a set checklist of components, important to the success of an office space. 

These components include, and are not limited to the following; 
  • Capacity; each module is designed to cater for a x amount of people 
  • Acoustic; each module has an acoustic rating 1-5 (5 being the best acoustic level)
  • Privacy; each module has a privacy rating between 1-5 (5 being the most privacy level)
  • Size: is irrevocably linked to capacity
It is important to note the success of the modules will be highly dependent on the interactive touch screen technology (posted earlier in the blog). 




Work Modules 3 & 4



Modules will also vary in seating capacity, which is dependent on the type of office work that will take place. Some modules will be for on the go jobs. Others will require space to sit down and talk with a client, or overseas correspondent.

As a method of trying to design the architectural entity, i could introduce a hierarchy of spaces to coordinate with the office module privacy/acoustic ratings. For example, the section diagram above looks into placing modules with higher privacy/acoustic ratings, higher on the facade. Modules that do not require high privacy/acoustic levels could be placed on the park level of the entity.

  1. Clear development of initial ideas. Investigate integration with Myer Centre which presently ignores Elizabeth Street. The privacy/acoustic rankings provide a good basis for design decisons, but how about the elements - rain, wind, sun etc. What impact will these have on the achitecture?
