Freedom Within Confines
Boxed Openness is HSC Designs recently completed office space that is designed on the principles of creative dynamism with plenty of space for innovation and nurturing of new ideas. Speaking to Home Review, lead designer and head of HSC Designs, Hiloni S. gives us an exclusive insight into the process and implementation of the project, created specifically for HSC Designs itself.

In an area of about 2000 sq ft the idea was to build a space that essentially encourages free thought - openness while remaining within a space - boxed.

“The most challenging feature of this project,” Hiloni begins, “was to design a solution which would speak to the ideology of the firm and be true to its identity, in a very small budget.” Seeing as HSC Designs is also into product and furniture design, repurposed material was used throughout the project, while ensuring that every space is multi-functional and can be grown to accommodate more people in the future as well.

Inspired by the works of Jeanne Gang, Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry and others, HSC Designs created ‘an open plan with custom designed tables’ that would increase in numbers as the studio grew. “The middle of the table serves as an area for electrical conducting and can also accommodate pin-boards,” she adds.
