Design Details

Unique Properties
The co-working space for GTR (Ground Team Red) and Teleport is located here at an old airport terminal. The fantastic experience begins at the moment when one walks in. Behind the reception counter where the existing window is, there is always a good view of plane taking-off and landing from time to time at the new airport in the distance. With this subtle backdrop, it helps to focus on the entrances of the two different companies under one roof.
Inspiration
The design is inspired by both the project location in the old airport terminal and the company philosophy of connecting their customers through technology, connecting passengers to great service and connecting their people to opportunities.
Research
This office design emphasizes on the harmony between human and the environment. A place where people could socialize freely and stimulate wild and big thinking, reflects the core value in our design. The designers fulfill the young people's needs for a workspace that is interesting and imaginative, an efficient environment that is productive and stress less. The design team presents it all well with the aviation spirit.
Challenge
ELTO cares on how to inspire people and help them to find the joy at work. The designers transform the airplane turbines into a seating at the waiting area, and the designers also make the bar top with a wing shape. The large platform in the middle of recreation area is served as a casual hang-out place and also a stage for media conference events. The huge wing art installation on top of the platform has become a signature landmark. These plane features serve as the medium for functional and emotional connection, as well as being the essence of the entire workspace.
Realization and Technology
The overall colors in the workspace are rather dim with an industrial look, so the designers play with lighting and vibrant orange to raise the spirits in the design. To strike a balance in the overall setting, the project also use iron plates, rivets, concrete paint, and concrete flooring to enhance this old terminal space. For both the entrances for two companies, the designers stack multiple layers of panels to form a tunnel-like architrave that leads into each workspace. With a perfect combination of form and colors, the young aspirations can be felt.
Operation and Interaction
In the open area, the walkway as a runway leading to a dimensional printing of a hole to the universe. This somewhat bizarre arrangement creates a sense of humor against the supposedly harsh and serious environment, allowing people to spend time freely and comfortably on their daily tasks. The office area and the shared recreation area are divided with a row of perforated panels. The perforated panels are good to make the space more open but also to give a sense of privacy to the workers.
Project Duration and Location
The project finished in December 2019 at an old Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) at Sepang, Selangor.
Specifications
When walk around the space on the runway under the light strips, it encourages people to move forward as if a plane is taking-off. This clear directional track is the emotional intention to increase velocity and to gather momentum with high efficiency at work.
