Challenges:

Good design with the ability to fulfill consumer needs comes from in-depth understanding and experience based service of the coworking industry. Business centers even though with much more financial backup have not been able to cope up with coworking as they are not in tune with the demands of the new age workforce. Formulating the rich experience of coworking in the form of our design made it difficult to replicate as it is a layered and organically growing process.

Solution:

After several briefing sessions with the founder and community manager, Siyarch Studio came up with several key pointers to keep in mind while designing. Most companies coming to the space are small teams of four to six people plus the director. Therefore cabins should have at least eight seats which would allow the current team to sit as well as allow for some future expansion.
Privacy and security is key for all these companies, who cannot afford their own exclusive space currently but still need all the amenities a private office would afford. All internal partitions have been filled with acoustic wool for maximum sound proofing. All cabins are access controlled with key pads and monitored by CCTV 24×7.
Above all, the coworking is aimed towards young companies where most team members are below 35 years of age. Therefore it was very important that the design catered to the young millennial demographic. The overall color palette of the coworking is one of white and light oak wood and grass. Colorful accents are provided in the form of hand painted murals and framed photographs.
