After conducing research into workspaces, online and through a questionnaire which was answered by people who use an office space everyday, this showed me the number of issues that are currently in the workspace. I was most interested in lighting, colour, comfort, atmosphere and motivation. One of the main issues was being able to stay motivated all day in their work environment.
I decided to focus on how to create a space that will motivate you, it is important that this space is personal to you and allows you to feel comfortable and work to the best of your ability. I decided that the best way to do this was to create a desk space that was made through natural materials. This desk space would allow you to adapt it through colour, lighting, sound and allows privacy to complete your work. However they are not completely cut off from everyone else and allows you to speak and communicate with other colleges. The rest of the space will include a communal area to take a break from your work and also include nature which will motivate however also improve air quality in the room. I decided that the best place to create this space was in the office space, as it fits the clients that I think this product will benefit.
I strongly believe that the environments that we live in profoundly affects us as individuals. Having a sense of comfort and belonging in a space can nurture us to have a healthy mindset and outlook on life. I am driven to make a difference and improve the lives of others through design, whilst simultaneously demonstrating the impact that our environment has on us. This ethos is applied to every design that I create.
My driving principle is to create a space that will change someone's life for the better, as well as being unique, inspiring, and captivating; something no one has seen before and will never forget. During any stage of the design process I allow myself to imagine how it would feel to be in the space that I am creating, and how I want it to feel for all the users of this space, but also how the clients wants it to feel. I try to express this emotion and feeling through my designs, to portray the space to the best possible standard. I have always been intrigued in how every individual feels differently when the confront a space and I want to utilise these feelings within my work.
My work aims to create something fascinating that will stand out, but also encourage an emotional response to an environment. The projects that I have been a part of have shown me that I am determined to create something profound and impactful that will change how we see our current environments; working as an individual or as part of a team. I believe that this year I have done this on a very small scale, this has only encouraged my passion to design.
