The new coworking space known as “BBF Market Plaza” is located on the
ground floor of the Bilbao Berrikuntza Faktoria (BBF) building and aims to become a
point of exchange of experiences, in which all kinds of users work and interact
with the rest of the students and companies located in the building. The space has a great spatial richness by having double height and a walkway that runs through
it.
"Bringing the outside to the inside” was
inspired by The Weather Project by artist Olafur Eliasson. The design seeks to
achieve the feeling of an outdoor environment inside the building, with light
and bright colours, light spheres as the main lighting and decorative element
and mirrors that reflect light, in addition to enhancing the existing
structural elements.
To achieve this, the ceiling and the metal
elements are covered in a vibrant yellow that transmits light and energy to the
interior of the space. The coworking space can accommodate 30 people, in four different
types of workstations, which will facilitate the location of different types of
users; from freelancers to start-ups. The lighting system is designed using “balloon”
type lamps of different sizes that can be controlled to achieve different
lighting for special occasions such as presentations, conferences, etc.
