AX Shared Workplace
The stair and mezzanine relationship gives the shared workplace its main architectural identity. Dark planes stand against lighter surfaces, making the change in level easy to read. The selected views focus on the shared circulation rather than workstation quantity. They support a discussion about how a workplace can establish a memorable communal centre while keeping individual work settings more restrained.

Turn inspiration into a clear brief.
Working settings
Which teams need quiet focus, enclosed calls or frequent collaboration? Use these images as a starting point for discussing the actual mix of rooms, rather than copying a layout without its business context.
Identity and privacy
Decide where the business needs a memorable public impression and where a quieter environment is more useful. The boundaries between visitors, executive hospitality and staff work are an important part of that decision.
A coordinated scope
Record the floor area, base-building constraints, headcount, furniture and technology requirements. A considered image becomes a useful design direction only when those inputs and responsibilities are clear.
