位于科威特城的建筑与艺术工作室办公室被设定为一个包含建筑、室内设计和产品设计实践的多种创意功能的空间。该空间作为一个开放的平台，放大了真正的 “开放空间 “的原则。私密性由每个独立隔断的材料来定义，允许用户自由和无止境地探索。在经典的启发下，建筑师的意图是创造一个自然材料的和谐组合，其中包括橡木和意大利洞石，与不锈钢表面并列。
Located in Kuwait City, Architecture & the Arts studio office is set to be a space that encompasses multiple creative functions for the practice of architecture, interior design, and product design. The space acts as an open platform that amplifies the principle of true ‘open space’. Privacy is defined by the materials of each free-standing partition, allowing the user to explore freely and endlessly. With the inspiration of the classics, the architects’ intentions were to create a harmonious combination of natural materials which include oak wood and Italian travertine to juxtapose the stainless steel surfaces.
工作室空间是为创造者设计的。目标是创造一个有效的开放式环境，让人们可以进行研究，与客户会面，并创建报告和图纸。要求包括一个适合五个建筑师的公共空间，一个半私人办公室，一个等待区，一个存储空间，以及一个展示最新材料的会议室。一进门，一堵半墙让人们的视线不受阻碍地进入背景中的城市。半墙也框住了客户也被邀请体验的公共工作空间。
The studio space was designed for creatives. The goal was to create a functioning open-plan environment where people could conduct research, meet with clients, and create reports and drawings. The requirements included a communal space that fits up to five architects, a semi-private office, a waiting area, a storage space, and a meeting room with a display of the latest materials. Upon entry, a half-wall allows the eye to travel, unobstructed, onto the city in the background. The half-wall also frames the communal working space that clients are also invited to experience.
虽然这个空间是一个挑战，但主要目标是实现最大的效率和优化功能，使其用户能够舒适和轻松地成长、适应、流动和沟通。在这个项目中使用的主要产品包括意大利未经打磨和未填充的洞石，在墙壁和地板上无缝隙安装。石材地板被铺设成矩形的篮子编织图案，其方向是中性的，但仍然将人们的视线吸引到其俏皮的方形形状上。储物空间用实木和贴面的橡木（来自英国）进行填充，以传达一种独立的功能。
Although the space was a challenge, the main goal was to achieve maximum efficiency and optimize functionality, allowing its users to comfortably and easily grow, adapt, flow, and communicate. The key products used in this project include Italian un-honed and unfilled travertine, installed with no joints for the walls and floors. The stone flooring is laid in a rectangular basket weave pattern with a neutral direction that still draws the eye to its playful square shape. The storage space is cladded in solid and veneered oak wood (sourced from England), to communicate a separate function.
与这些低调的材料相比，不锈钢被用于开放式展示架单元，以柔和地补充地板和展示的物品。在整个设计过程中，对自然和充足光线的需求通过一个反射隔断得到了强调，该隔断用工业波纹钢板填充，位于两个玻璃板之间。这种材料的半透明特性提供了隐私，同时通过反射周围的光线来保持亮度。
In contrast to these subdued materials, stainless steel was used for the open display shelving unit to softly complement the floors and objects on display. Throughout the design process, the need for natural and adequate light was emphasized through a reflective partition, cladded in an industrial corrugated steel sheet that sits between two glass panels. The material’s translucent qualities provide privacy while maintaining lightness by reflecting surrounding light.
