Great interior design isn't just limited to private homes, the retail
world, hotels and public spaces such as art galleries. Smart employers
are realizing that a creative workspace inspires greater productivity
and...you guessed it, creativity. Since we first identified this trend
last year, we've seen many more great examples - so much so that we've
decided to launch a whole new
section on creative work environments around the globe. Like this great
space designed for KULT offices,
located
in a former school atop Mount Sophia in Singapore, the inspiration for
this PR and advertising agency was to return to the uncertainty and
excitement of the classroom laboratory. Remember the fascinating hours
spent in the school lab - setting fire to stuff, cutting slimy things,
peering into microscopes, sniffing foul liquids, adding just a little
bit more of that to this to see what happens? Kult staff step into
their office through a large cut in the wall, which creates an
other-worldly effect as they leave reality behind every morning. A
central island work-space is illuminated by a spectacular, suspended
light ceiling. This techno element is balanced by the ubiquitous views
of nature, delivered by windows situated above each desktop along the
entire length of the office's walls. A contrasting color scheme of
black and white brings it all together creating a modern space that
blends harmoniously with the natural environment.
We're so inspired by cool creative office design that we're going to
make the
subject of our next book: The World's Coolest Creatives Offices; the
second in a
series which kicked off on The World's Coolest Hotel Rooms, this week.
If you know of such a cool creative environment please send us a tip. By Lisa Evans.
