Move
Project overview
At Move Architects, we believe in creating spaces that transcend functionality to spark creativity, collaboration, and connection. When the opportunity arose to design our own office, it was more than just another project—it was a chance to embody our design ethos and bring our values to life in a space we call home.
Our new office is a physical manifestation of our studio’s philosophy: a perfect blend of innovation, flexibility, and identity. Every aspect of the design was carefully considered to meet the needs of our team while reflecting the spirit of our work and culture.
Designing for Creativity and Collaboration
Central to our design is the belief that the best ideas emerge when people feel inspired and connected. To support this, we created an open workspace where collaboration flourishes.
Breakout spaces and lounges are strategically placed to encourage spontaneous conversations, fostering cross-pollination of ideas among team members. These areas are punctuated by warm, tactile materials and vibrant color palettes, creating a welcoming and energizing environment.
Balancing Focus and Flow
While collaboration is key, we also recognize the importance of focus. Acoustically treated work pods and enclosed meeting rooms offer a sanctuary for deep work, ensuring productivity isn’t compromised.
Natural light floods the entire office, thanks to big windows openings and an open-plan design that maximizes visibility. Combined with greenery, these features promote well-being and enhance the overall work atmosphere.
Reflecting Our Identity
Our office serves as a canvas to express who we are as designers. Throughout the space, bespoke design elements showcase our attention to detail and creativity. The material palette is a celebration of contrasts: red-colored aluminum meets warm wood and textured plaster, combined green textiles that create bibliophile atmosphere. These elements embody the duality of our work—cutting-edge yet human-centered, innovative yet grounded in purpose.
Sustainability and Future-Readiness
Sustainability was a driving force in our design process. We prioritized eco-conscious materials and energy-efficient solutions, ensuring the office aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility. Flexible layouts and modular systems were incorporated to future-proof the space, allowing it to evolve as our team and needs grow.
A True Reflection of Our Vision
Our personal office isn’t just a place to work; it’s a space that inspires us every day. It reflects the passion and dedication we bring to every project while serving as a tangible reminder of what’s possible through thoughtful, intentional design.
We are honored to share our journey and the result of our efforts with the community. This project is more than a workspace—it’s a testament to the power of design to shape experiences and connect people.
