For a professional, the workspace can enhance or shatter a creative mindset. Workspaces are also adjusted according to the needs of the professional–a good workspace starts on a neutral ground, an area that can be bent into any theme that can take on the unique characteristics of its intended user.
This theme is especially highlighted by the use of the Japanese wabi-sabi concept which appreciates and finds beauty in all imperfections. BRIOARC design studio sees this as a very practical approach to design. “The overall vibe in the office is very chill and casual. We just wanted our workplace to be as lively and colorful as possible and veer away from the traditional office setting to stimulate and keep the creative juices flowing,” says architect Pierre Nicole Briones.
A neon sign glowing with the words “keep improving” supports both the firm’s innovative and progress-based work approach and its wabi-sabi themed office.
In an effort to make the workspace more employee-friendly, the BRIOARC design studio underwent some renovation work. “We really had to work on a tight budget during the renovation process therefore we all agreed to use materials that are economical and accessible from any local hardware stores,” shares Briones.
A workplace, no matter where it is, should be first and foremost inspired by its occupants. It is the basic principle of architecture and design. In the middle of the pandemic, home designs can have different focal points–maybe a beautiful antique desk? An iconic library shelf? Or maybe an entire room can serve as the focal point of an ideal home office.
