EXPLORING “THIRD SPACE” DESIGN AT CREATIVE WORK OFFICE

A typical is divided into three main areas, including the working area where employees spend much of their time performing work each day, the meeting and conference area where many people meet to share, listen to or grasp new strategies, and finally, the complementary area that provides harmony and relaxation outside stressful working hours.

The working area is considered as a place to deal with stressful work, the meeting and conference room is a place for employees to meet each other, receive and discuss information while the complementary area in an office OR “THIRD” OFFICE SPACE may be a dining space, a restroom or a game room where employees interact together with their hobbies and interests other than work.
