Second market
Second Market is creating a social network for mobile workers. Open-floor model offers the highest rate of collisions for social travelers, allowing nomadic freelancers to trade skills.
Trading knowledge is akin to the bustling exchanges of a vibrant marketplace. Hence, the project "Second Market" envisions a new typology—a harmonious community where collaboration flourishes like commerce in a thriving bazaar.

microcosm of little plazas
accessible from many directions which best captures the essence of this co-working place, serving as gathering spot for locals and youngsters alike.
work lounge
A lounge-like work space suitable for short-term activities which demand collaboration and/ or allow impromptu interaction.
Mostly used on a ‘first come, first served’ basis for temporary use by flexible users. Designed as single continuous bench people might hesitate joining another occupant.
open air workzone
High degree of spatial flexibility (easy to reconfigure desk arrangements). Gradual series of steps and platforms connecting the street level to the first and second floor naturally draws people to walk up leisurely.
modular pods
The affordable pod on the upper floors are based on a modular system that allows for repetition in layout, cutting down construction costs and an organization that ensures optimal daylight conditions.
Given the capacity for do-it-yourself projects and the potential for future expansion.
canvas facade
The facade's design language includes a structural framework, terraces, solid walls, and canvas sun shading. These elements come together to create a facade that is cohesive, repetitive, and playful.
The canvas sun shading is particularly notable, as it not only provides functional shade and reduces solar heat gain but also adds dynamic visual interest to the building.
The rhythmic pattern of the canvas elements introduces a sense of movement and texture, while their flexibility allows for various configurations.
