re-WORKing environments
Where do you feel you work and why would you go to a physical working place at all?
That is the key question behind this proposal; a fundamental approach to a fundamental brief. The fundamental questioning is what attracted us in the Finnish edition of the Nordic Built Challenge. We have opened our minds and we have re-thought the concept of office work and office architecture beyond hip smart-working concepts, trendy cloud and one-liner sustainability. This proposal is a step to integrate new concepts and re-think the office experience.
It is a fact that knowledge work is changing. The evolution from production to smart work is spectacular and has real consequences. The question now are:1. What will come next?2. What does this mean for the physical work space formerly known as the office?3. How does this tie in with sustainable futures?
These three questions are addressed in a design manner in this proposal. The concept of time has turned out to play the key role in our solutions. Time of experience speed as in the cloud versus focus and concentration, occupancy patterns, and meetings versus silence. All these notions can be translated back to spatial experiences.
Our hypothesis is that the loose, cloudy
work organizations do require a physical
counter point. One that is very tangible,
tactile and slow once you are there.
A place that offers various, opposing,
qualities that you do not have at home or
elswhere in the city: organize these well
and a succesful office will be the result. .
Variation means speed: different
experiences are required at various
moments. Adaptability and variation form
the starting point of this innovative quest.
Towards a new workfloor
Trends in work: dynamic relation with organization and workplace
Knowledge work is rapidly developing towards more free and loosely organized forms of
collaboration, communication and inter-relations
Thesis: A physical office still plays a critical role in an employee’s work life, this is a new and
multifaceted role
Office as a place where various speeds are at work
Thesis: Added value to the infinite possibilities offered by the cloud are to be very real, tangible
and physical qualities. A well-defined new type of work space can offer this.
Why still go to a physical workplace?

Placemaking at work?
The future workplace is not one idea and one
space: it is an accumulation of ideas and
types ; an array of functional, architectural
and urban spaces and concepts. As in the
situation of the city outside it has to perform
many and often opposing functions.
The village square
The space where you meet acquaintances,
where you have a coffee while discussing
some project issues, where you have chance
encounters and can observe unexpected
scenes of others.
The food court in the mall
Where at a number of different booths
different meals can be ordered; not high
cuisine but necessary to keep you going:
administration, HR, IT support, library
functions, development review etc.
The open space in the forest
Where the authentic atmosphere of the city
enters the office, where you feel where you
are, where the local sense of place offers
necessary grounding and a sensation
of rootedness. This clears the head and
increases health an well-being.
The ZEN & focus moment
Focus like you cannot at home, quiet
comfortable and breezy, as if you were cozy
snuggling into a business class airline seat.
Enjoy the care and work away!
The new smart office: open, varied, outspoken
The combination of these archetypical
spaces forms a peculiar specific cocktail
that answers a lot of questions that the
new office asks us.

re-WORK: Eco-Efficiency
ONOFF OFF
INTEGRATED SOLUTION:-Climatological zoning: Building that is only put ’’ON’’ (lights, ventilation, heat-
ing) for as many people as are in the building

facade-oriented cubicle pods

energy harvest ambition
Dynamic hybernating Energy+ building
The yearly energy usage of a moderately
performing building is built up of various
components. Altogether the zoning for
selective use helps enormously to reduce
energy demand across the board. The
spatial demand reduction is topped
up by a time-demand reduction that is
provided in this proposal: The building
will only use energy when and where
people actually are present and using it.
On moments the building is not in use it
will close itself and go to sleep, the way
lilies close themselves up at night.

re-Generate applicability
A new timebased office typology
Existing structure and staircases
Specially treated floor:
tactyled pixels; project any pattern
or image
Office typology with flexible
walls: no corridors only spaces
Integrated new typical office floor: Office typology
with flexible walls: no corridors only spaces
New climate facade can
close itself into hybernation
No more corridors
The new office typology combines a number of qualities into a new integrated proposal:
1. A series of triangular enclosed spaces is created: The PODS. They encroach the facade for daylight and form an insulating when not used. The rest spaces are diamondshaped: the communal spaces of the office. They replace the traditional corridor.
2. A system of closing climate walls is put in place that can reduce the office at any point to the required size. This saves energy and has a social component: there are always other people where you work.
3. IT integration: The office knows where you are and knows when you can be expected. It will prepare itself for you. Through the alignment of electronic agendas, statistical patterns and GPS tracking the office will be able to anticipate the required spaces, temperatures etc. per day and hour.
4. Facade as a living membrane: The facade systematically closes up into hybernation when it knows no users will be expected in its spaces. Therefore the energy use of the building gets an extreme boost in yield efficiency.
5. Atmosphere. The floor in combination with the different triangular individual office ‘‘pods’’ can make all types of atmospheres, fit to the right occasion.

re-WORK: genral applicability
Spaces not in use: facade closes
Spaces in use: facade opens
The building comes alive with a dynamic interactive skin
do I work?The facade of the building acts as a living membrane: It systematiclly closes up into hybernation when it knows no users will be expected in its spaces. Therefore the energy use of the building gets an extreme boost in yiield efficiency.
The result on the outside is that the building communicates more with the surroundings: It is visible when and where people are at work and where the buidling is open and ON.
The porposal is to entirel replace the facade with an intelligen facade that can close up and in which HVAC is entirely integrated into the facade panels. The local climate conditioning is efficient and avoids energy loss as well as heavy ducts etc through the entire building: energy is transported by means of water. New floor heating is propsed in a ne top layer of the concrete floors, in addition to this comfort warmth + cooling is combined with the local ventialtion in the
facade paneling. Openable windows will
remain.
A dynamic facade that opens and closes

ventilation inlet and outlet per facade element. This increases indivudual
and local steering possibilities. Heat exchange between in and outgoing air
takes place; energy is tranported by small water pipes

Open flexible dynamic spaces and individual office PODS
A new rhythm of triangular spaces is created with the triangular individual closed spaces using the facade and the rest spaces are the communal spaces of the office. They replace the corridor.
The office dwill adapt to user intensity and can be programmed to suit moods and events alike. Most importatnly, it willl know you and you r wishes and will prepare jsut the right room for you and your meeting, work session etc. The pods look calm and closed when out of use and have a legible shabe whe teh door is used: another level of personality to the office experience.
A chain of indivudal ‘PODS’ forms an intelligent facade zone
Open varied central space is heart of the office;atmospheric, flexible, multi-usable
Climate - walls enlarge or reduce the climatized space according to usage and demand
When in use, the POD shows an opening to the outside
