Fulcrum Studio uses the opportunity to create its own workspace as a play space. It breaks the mould of a conventional office layout design. It reveals itself in unpredictable layers that still the viewer into silence and provoke expression. We were our own clients, and this gave us an opportunity to reimagine the physical realm of a workspace. We began by removing typical constructs pertaining to a conventional ‘office.’
Editor’s Note: By layering the whimsical play of spaces and volumes, Fulcrum Studio breaks the traditional expression of workspace. With the intersecting indoor canopies and pathways, the design creates an oasis in the form of a workplace fostering creativity throughout.

Fulcrum’s Office Layout Design Reimagines Realm Of Workspace | Fulcrum Studio
The design investigates what it means to ‘go to work’ post-pandemic. Despite being in the heart of the city, the interior spaces open up and capture the canopies.
The composition of solid, void, and, most importantly, the ‘in-between’ layers in a vertical dimension of constant overlays that culminate with the sky.
Perforated mesh forms the ‘in-between,’ incorporated in flooring, stairways, and leisure spaces. These perforations melt the vertical planes, create shadows, and visually expand the stacked layers.
Connections are in the form of bridges, which are overlapping angles, much like arrows. Moreover, they direct the transitions ‘to and through’ spaces.
Innovation peaks with the kinetic conference box, a mechanical and artistic fusion of form and function that opens and shuts at the touch of a button. A simple pulley system celebrates our conceptual models placed within invisible boxes, as seen during construction.
The design’s anatomy uses exposed materials like I-beams and metal chains, which can be reused and recycled.
Wood is a material used extensively and is sourced from sustainable timber yards. They create the perforated mesh flooring using metal waste acquired from the site during construction.
The artwork created from reclaimed waste is suspended dramatically to form a pivotal attraction. The abstract spaces create a beating heart in the city center.
Its layered spaces are ideal for art, culinary, fashion, and cultural events, which bring people together and foster a feeling of community.
