The main brief of this project is The Porous Office, which is rethinking and detailing the workplace. Offices of the 21st century is constantly changing and merging with the public realm. We've been seeing people working wherever in hotels, cafes, airports and etc. These developments are increasingly turning public space into a productive workspace. We've been given different new typologies of the workspace so basically it encourage us wants to explore among it.

The given site — Hanbury Hall is an existing site that located in Hanbury Street, Spitalfields, London, UK. It was built in 1719, with very rich history. Originally a French Huguenot Church and now renovated into a diverse space with  high ceilings and windows to bathe the room in natural daylight. A recent restoration and makeover has seamlessly combined the contemporary Spitalfields style with the heart of a national heritage building.

The typologies for the porous office project was mainly Agora with Publishing Company. The concept for this project is Insertion, which was inserting a building into a building. This was basically inspired by the most seen street view that we always seen everywhere in the city. Its also an adaptive reuse for the given building or site, Hanbury Hall. People can explore the spaces of the building and it gives a urban modern atmosphere. Its aims to reference the busy city outside while transforming it into a calm, quiet and relaxing space. This building was focused on Agora, so it opened not just as a publishing company but also open to all people to visit by allowing them to connect, discover, and learn from one another.
