the solution

Paperspace devised a future-proof plan with an open design and most enclosed rooms zoned along the building core. This allowed for flexibility in reconfiguring the layout to incorporate last-minute changes without sacrificing the overall design of the general work area. Workmanship was meticulously monitored to ensure proper implementation of the designs, and planning was done ahead of time to account for the possible long lead times of specified materials.

The office design features a Filipino/Cebu inspired landing area that also functions as a touchdown point for collaboration or casual interactions. The pendant lights, chairs, and accent walls are all designed with Rattan patterns. One of the highlights of the space is the logo, created with traditional Barong fabric, a long-sleeved formal shirt for men and a national dress of the Philippines, dyed in Accenture’s signature purple color.

The pantry area, intended for socialisation, showcases a blend of Japanese and Filipino designs. It opens to the training rooms, also known as hybrid rooms, which can serve as multipurpose areas for gatherings or events. The accent walls feature Japanese patterns, while the ceiling displays Rattan patterns. 

The boardroom includes panelling with whiteboards inspired by Shogi panels, fostering a professional yet culturally nuanced environment. Collaboration spaces are strategically placed between production areas to facilitate team huddles, meetings, and breaks, with additional focus pods for focus work. 

Paperspace successfully incorporated their last-minute changes without compromising the overall aesthetic and functionality of the office, creating a harmonious blend of Japanese and Filipino/Cebu design elements that cater to the needs of their diverse clientele.
