Special Mention Prize: Chung Sui Fai, Cheng Siew Ming

We aim to bring along a playful and joyful atmosphere during the construction and utilization of the workspace. It comes as a modular unit which users can customize their own workspace, revealing a high level of versatility. The concept revolves around snap fitting between various parts, which makes it easy for building or dismantling and with which the elements on the workspace can be arranged according to one’s favor. In addition, besides using vibrant colors for parts of the modular unit to evoke a more pleasant workstation, there is the introducing of greenery in the office. Studies had been made that greenery is an important element that helps to contribute in improving work productivity. The greenery is placed at a prominent spot; on top of the panels.
