Office
The design concept for this office was centered around creating a workspace that reflects one's personality, rather than mere strength. As a result, what began as a simple shell evolved into a fully functional and aesthetically refined office, with the addition of artwork, sculptures, a coffee machine, and plants to create a cohesive and inspiring environment. A key focus in the workspace design was maximizing the use of natural daylight.
