TRAX

Workspaces today are characterized by an open and inclusive environment. The Y generation, currently manning most positions in new and innovative technological startups, are asking for a different work environment and experience. These workers require shared areas and spaces, which allow for brainstorming and agile meetings. Most companies today accommodate these requests and offer open work environments as opposed to closed rooms.
The Trax project required finding the middle ground between the need to divide the teams and offer a certain degree of privacy. The partitions, made of Spanish-made aluminum, were tailor-made for the project and were especially designed by our firm.
In addition, we designed a few types of workspaces, which provide freedom of choice. Choosing the preferred style of work; a bench in the cafeteria, in the phonebooth room, in a one-on-one room, open conference room, non-formal spaces and more.
The design is inspired by the hospitality in restaurants and hotels. These are not necessarily office spaces, as the intention was to blur the boundaries between the work-life balance. Catering to the Y Generation’s desire to move from one place to another, to any space at any time, allows the office employees to feel “at home”, cocooned in a warm and nurturing environment.
We used a wide array of finishing materials, including concreate, terrazzo, iron and nets, granite porcelain, ceramics, wood, vegetation as a material, countless lighting fixtures, glass, graphics and art – different and varied pieces to create a rich and whole environment.
