I like the organization of this design studio space in Sydney, Australia. They have a continuous thin work surface around the perimeter of the office with bookshelves interspersed, and an enormous common work surface in the center.
There is quite a bit of space around the center table as well. I think the open space really contribute so the space feeling uncrowded, and I image it would allow for dynamic activity around the center table.
Open plans suck for design. Private offices are much better.
ReplyDeleteWell Jake, I'd love to read more of an explanation than a rule/drool comparison. Care to expand on that?
ReplyDeleteThe evidence shows that creative design offices almost always are open plan. I'm not saying its right or wrong - but I would like to understand why they almost all swing that way. Why do they think its better for them, and if its not as you claim, it certainly has not hindered the most successful design offices.
Wow, this studio looks great. We have developed something similar up in Dee Why. We have launched one of Sydney's first coworking spaces called CO-WORKA.
