WorkOut
WorkOut, a trailblazing design proposal, winner of the German Design Award 2024 - Excellent Architecture - Conceptual Architecture category.
The projects was also shortlisted at the WAF Isolation Transformed 2020 and a finalist at the Architizer A+Awards 2023, in the Unbuilt Commercial Category alongside five other distinguished global finalists.
​
The "WorkOut" project presents an innovative and socially conscious approach to architecture and urban planning. It's a multi-faceted concept that addresses several contemporary challenges and trends:
​
Remote Working and Learning: The rise of remote work and e-learning has created a need for flexible, accessible workspaces outside the traditional office or classroom. WorkOut offers a solution that not only caters to this need but does so in a way that encourages outdoor activity and social interaction, countering the isolation often experienced in remote working scenarios.
​
Biophilic Design: This aspect of the design, focusing on human's innate connection to nature, is particularly noteworthy. By incorporating natural elements and promoting outdoor activities, WorkOut aims to reduce stress and enhance well-being, which is increasingly important in our fast-paced, urbanized world.
Sustainable and Adaptive Use of Space: The project's emphasis on reconfigurability and the use of modular components is a forward-thinking approach. It allows for the efficient use of space in urban environments, where the scarcity of affordable housing is a pressing issue. The idea of transforming vacant office spaces into housing, while using parks and rooftops for remote working, reflects a sustainable and adaptive approach to urban planning.
​
Community and Networking: The concept of transforming work into a leisure activity and creating spaces that foster networking and social interactions is innovative. This aspect of WorkOut could have significant positive impacts on mental health and the creation of collaborative communities.
​
Flexibility and Accessibility: The ability to rent modules for varying durations and for different purposes, including meetings or group work, speaks to the flexibility and user-friendliness of the design. This adaptability makes it accessible to a wide range of users, from individual remote workers to groups and businesses.
Global Network Potential: The idea of WorkOut being a worldwide network implies the potential for international connections and collaborations, further enhancing its value as a tool for networking and global community building.
​
In summary, WorkOut is a thoughtfully designed concept that addresses modern work-life challenges, promotes sustainability, and fosters community and well-being. Its recognition in various architectural and design awards underscores its innovative approach and potential impact on future urban and workspace designs.

AmphISPIRAL
​
In response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, particularly impacting the retail food sector and community socializing, a novel initiative named AmphISPIRAL has been introduced. This innovative project seeks to rejuvenate public spaces by offering a multifunctional area for food vendors, farmers, and individuals eager to engage in outdoor activities amidst these challenging times. AmphISPIRAL integrates various functions within its unique structure, including food retail, areas for picnicking, sunbathing, relaxation, and social interactions. Its design, inspired by an amphitheater, spirals upward to create a communal space suitable for performances, fostering a sense of unity among community members.
​
Constructed from sustainable, easy-to-assemble materials, AmphISPIRAL emphasizes safety and health protocols by incorporating six-foot distancing markers on the wooden boards used in its construction. These markers are designed to be subtle yet effective, ensuring individuals maintain safe distances while using the facility. The signage, though minimalistic, is strategically placed on both sides of the boards for maximum visibility.
​
AmphISPIRAL not only addresses the immediate needs of the city during the pandemic but also looks to the future. It celebrates New York City's dynamic and diverse culture, with plans to remain a permanent fixture in the urban landscape. As the pandemic recedes, the six-foot distance signs are intended to fade, leaving behind a versatile space that has adapted to a post-pandemic world, continuing to serve as a testament to the city's resilience and community spirit.

AMOEBA FUSION
​
In today's rapidly evolving world, traditional skyscrapers fail to meet the dynamic demands of use, health, and energy efficiency. Recognizing this gap, onE.GLobe introduces Amoeba Fusion, a groundbreaking concept designed to redefine urban living and working spaces. This innovative approach brings to life flexible, scalable, and organically grown structures that seamlessly adapt to any scenario, fostering a live-work-play ecosystem that evolves with its inhabitants' needs.
Understanding the profound impact of stress on human health—which accounts for approximately 75% of chronic disease and disability—Amoeba Fusion places a strong emphasis on creating environments that nurture well-being. By integrating expansive green spaces, water features, and a mix of uses within close proximity, the project not only aims to enhance human health but also to address critical environmental goals like energy conservation and carbon sequestration. This holistic approach leverages nature’s benefits to foster happier, healthier communities while supporting renewable energy production and environmental resilience.
​
Amoeba Fusion champions the concept of decentralized, vibrant communities centered around innovation and entrepreneurship. Envisioned as a living organism, the structure is designed to expand both horizontally and vertically, introducing new cores as needed to suit site-specific conditions. This growth strategy allows for the creation of public plazas enveloped by the building, offering shaded, welcoming spaces for communal interaction.
The project boasts a self-sustaining design featuring flexible 3D printed dwellings and workspaces, enveloped by semi-open gardens and an atrium. With deep floor plates that welcome daylight, the layout is optimized for open-plan offices and living spaces. Infrastructure elements like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are modular, allowing for easy integration of 3D printed components. Inflatable shells, enhanced with air-purifying plants, accommodate customizable living and working modules, fostering a plug-and-play ethos.
​
Amoeba Fusion is strategically located in New York City’s General Commercial Zoning district, harmonizing with Lincoln Square and Hell’s Kitchen’s vibrant culinary, cultural, and transportation hubs. This setting provides a fertile ground for a diverse, innovative community, propelling the project beyond conventional luxury residential offerings by focusing on the needs of forward-thinking entrepreneurs.
​
By eliminating traditional corridors and introducing garden spaces around units, Amoeba Fusion encourages social interaction within a compact, efficient layout. This design philosophy not only maximizes space but also aligns with the project’s goal to cultivate a resilient, adaptive community poised to thrive in a post-pandemic world and beyond. Through its pioneering live-work-play environments, Amoeba Fusion represents a visionary step towards addressing future challenges, promoting sustainability, and enhancing urban life for innovative individuals.
