MANIFEST

A workplace design for a young creative app called Manifest.

“Manifest is an innovative app-based platform that enables designers and artists to create and collaborate online. Our two distinct platforms; a creative workspace, and an online meeting space, allow users to connect with like-minded individuals to bring their ideas to life.”

The client's brief requests open, unconstrained workspaces that promote discussion, creativity, and collaboration. An in-house client studio is also requested, where users of the app may visit, and manifest their ideas and work

Abstraction. Contrast. Comparison.

This concept explores the contrast and juxtaposition of materials, space, and function.

LEVEL 28

Level 28 houses the majority of Manifest's employee zones. The plan is open, with workspaces clearly defined by ceiling and flooring elements. The materiality is bright and diverse, with texture, tone, and pattern seemingly at once discordant, and harmonious.

Studio spaces are scattered throughout level 28. These spaces are easily accessible, and foster creativity and collaboration. Curved glass partitions define these zones, reducing acoustics, whilst keeping the spaces inclusive and continuous.

RECEPTION & STAIRS.

An open plan reception is provided to employees and clients alike. The seating space allows for diverse use; to catch up on emails, or gather your thoughts.

Level 29 is accessible from the feature stair case. The staircase is the central element. It is at once a transitionary element, a seating element, and an element that defines clear zoning.

LEVEL 29

Level 29 houses an employee workspace, a cafe, and the client studio space. Each space whilst clearly defined through glass partitions, remain completely open and unending. Materiality is synonomous with level 28, creating a fluidity of function.

CAFE

The cafe centers itself around a circular serving station. A long winding bar stretches around the curvature of the structure. The cafe follows the design language of the feature staircase.
