About Stoked KL Workplace
Stoked KL is a workplace interior designed as an open studio rather than a conventional office. The 1300 square foot space measures 15400 mm in width, 8000 mm in depth and 3900 mm in height. A cafe like pantry with a movable bar table meets visitors at the entrance. A meeting room, a lounge area with an art mural and an open material library complete the layout. Acoustic panels reduce noise and reverberation under the high ceiling and also form a feature wall. Natural light and tropical references set the mood, and the studio can serve as an event space in the evening.
