Supporting the functions of work through a design inspired by a coffee shop
Agenda,
Taipei
Based in a quiet district for 5 years, Agenda decided they wanted to move to Taipei’s CBD, taking the opportunity to refresh their office. The main design objective was to “build a coffee shop that supports the functions of work”.
Given the sufficient ceiling height and the bareness of the building structure, the final Agenda office space provides a strong industrial look-and-feel, with unique character that reflects the advertising company’s highly creative culture.
The space comprises a vestibule equipped with a reception counter and waiting bench, enclosed meeting rooms and open collaboration areas, a general office area and individual workspaces, and other functional spaces.
Standard workstations are replaced with custom-made workbenches, texture hand-brushed paint is used over traditional wallpaper, and the most iconic element of the space is laid with original raised flooring tiles only; without any other floor finishes. These design implementations bring together different clusters of space and form a united and unique environment.
“They settled down very quickly and felt like they were working here for two years after moving in for just one week. They feel at home.”
Agenda’s General Manager shares the reaction of staff to the new space.
