University coworking space concept by Freya Architects

University coworking space

Reason
Ventilation impossible

This was a university co-working space where students could do anything — except throw parties! Conferences, exhibitions, workshops, or simply working on their genius ideas. Since our goal was to keep students engaged, we used their favorite colors (you can probably guess where they’re from — though it wasn’t entirely intentional).

Everyone loved the concept, but after months of discussions with the building management, it turned out that installing ventilation under a fully glazed roof would cost about as much as building an entirely new structure.

So the clients found a different space — and we designed a new project. But don’t worry: that yellow hole will make a comeback.
