Designer 14: i29 Interior Architects

i29 Interior Architects designed this space for Combiwell, a workspace for people who find it challenging to find work on their own. The design solution was to create colourful 'work-islands' in bold contrast to the grey backdrop of the industrial unit in which it sits. 

Architect 14: Tezuka Architects

Tezuka Architects were another firm which was showcased at the 2018 Architectural Biennale in Venice. The Fuji Kindergarten school they designed was an exhibition with an interesting twist! The three-dimensional physical model on showcase had drone footage of the children circulation paths of running in the yard projected on to the model. The design of the building itself is really clever and full of play and intrigue with kids being able to run around the circular design.
