A Cool Co-Lab is Born!

Setsatian School for the Deaf, Bangkok

 

Setsatian School is Thailand’s first school for the hearing-impaired and has been operating since 1953. Over the past few months Concept i has been working closely with the School to transform the existing computer room into a brand new Creative Co-lab.

“New computer technologies are global and visual and can give the children a barrier free dialogue with society” says Geoff Morrison, CEO of Concept i.  “Our goal is to bridge the employment gap for these kids by helping to empower them with digital skills relevant to our changing world.”

Co-Lab means “collaboration” explains Kittisak J. Interior Designer. “We designed a bright and vibrant space where students can inter-mingle and explore digital skills in a fun way”. Interior graphics and soft furnishings use the Pantone Institute’s color’s of the year – neutral ultimate gray and vibrant yellow Illuminating.

“The color symbolism is powerful” says Pei-han, Graphic Designer, “they highlight our human need to be seen, recognized and heard. This color combination connects to insight, innovation, intuition, and intelligence, motivating us to think, learn, create and problem solve in new ways.”

The space planning is angularized to give a creative look and feel, focusing on the class leader’s demonstration space and projection wall. “Global quotes and pictograms urge you to dream, explore, and create” says Nunthiya C., Architect. There are comfortable spaces to learn, relax, and exchange ideas.

“We look forward to working with the children”, Nunthiya explains. “Together with the teachers of Setsatian we hope to organize workshops where people with and without hearing impairment can interact, have fun, and develop skills together. The workshops will explore graphic and 3D sketching software.

Hong Kong Jockey Club – Happy Valley Clubhouse Extension (https://www.sbidawards.com/finalist/happy-valley-clubhouse-extension/)

In 2015 Hong Kong Jockey Club commenced construction on a new extension to its Happy Valley Clubhouse referred to as “The Hilltop in the Valley”. As part of an international collection of designers assigned to the project (one for each level) Concept i was appointed as the Interior Designers for level 7 of the complex. Level 7 was conceived as a luxury “4 Generation” family dining and entertainment destination. The project requested two-family restaurants offering Provincial Chinese Cuisine and Authentic American Cuisine and a state of the art Children’s Play Zone in a 2,650 sq.m space. The Children’s Play Zone was required to be fun and exciting and offer meaningful Play and Learn activities for an age range of 4 to 12-year-olds.

 

Mun x2 (https://www.sbidawards.com/finalist/munx2/)

Seacon Square, Bangkok’s 500,000 sq m mega-mall, unleashed 27,000 sq m of new, experiential retailing. It’s young, it’s fun, it’s totally Mun! Named after the Thai slang for something somewhat crazy, “Mun Mun” features cutting edge, individualistic retailing immersed in eye-popping arts and street culture. Concept i was commissioned to conceive the new project and worked closely with Seacon to completely re-invent the space, design, food, retail and attraction program.
