Five AM, an architecture firm that's based out of Kortrijk, Belgium, created a mobile workspace which it called 'Dojo Wheels' to increase its productivity on the road. This project made the Five AM team the 'Architizer A+Awards' winners.
Although the dimensions are tiny, the firm transformed the interior to be surprisingly expansive. Five AM succeeded in this by using white and lightly colored wood -- which helped tremendously in opening up the space. In addition to seeming larger, the interior allows Five AM to use the space for whatever's needed, given that "It can easily change its setup to offer the user the most practical surrounding."
The white walls dual-function as pegboards as well -- granting ample space for temporary storage containers and more to be put up. In addition, "The flat surface acts as a bed, couch and table with storage available underneath."
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Mobile Workspaces
- The creation of mobile workspaces like 'Dojo Wheels' presents an opportunity to increase productivity while on the road.
- Space Optimization
- The use of white and lightly colored wood to transform a small interior into a surprisingly expansive workspace opens up opportunities for other industries to maximize space in innovative ways.
- Multifunctional Design
- The integration of dual-functioning walls and flat surfaces that can be used as beds, couches, tables, and storage areas presents an opportunity for innovative and adaptable design solutions.
Sectors Adopting This
- Interior Design
- The concept of space optimization and multifunctional design in the 'Dojo Wheels' project provides a blueprint for interior designers to create innovative and efficient workspaces.
- Architecture
- The creation of mobile workspaces and opportunities for space optimization in projects like 'Dojo Wheels' offer architects the chance to design innovative solutions for on-the-go professionals.
- Furniture
- The integration of multifunctional design elements in the 'Dojo Wheels' project inspires furniture companies to create versatile and compact pieces that maximize space and functionality.
