Werk
WERK is a Co-Working Community Centre that reconnects with the local community, reviving the forsaken heritage of downtown Kuala Lumpur City Centre. The proposal frames an interactive platform for both tourist and local community to meet, connect and collaborate with each other. It offers a space to increase connectivity and sociability. It is also a hub for personal and professional development, providing a host of services, resources, and work opportunities to support the local business community.
A contemporary and art deco inspired aesthetic exudes youthfulness and a sense of energy, while retaining the qualities and identity of the historical area. The dynamic interior offers a hint of glamour in palettes of colour, materials and elements that reflect the richness and warmth of the locality. The repetitive geometries and proportions of the space, with contrasting polished and sandblasted textures, create subtle differentiation between flat and contoured surfaces, offering vivid visual and tactile experience for eye and hand.
