A spatial framework for research, dialogue, and technology in progress — designed to support collaboration, and the visibility of engineering work
A functional demo and collaboration environment
IOT LAB space
The IoT Lab Space was designed as a compact environment for demonstrating projects, hosting discussions, and working with prototypes — a place where engineering ideas can be explained, tested, and shared without visual noise or spectacle.
This project explores how physical space can support research, dialogue, and technological thinking
Materials and colors are intentionally restrained
The layout is organized into clear functional zones: areas for research and sketching, meetings and filming, prototype display, and a flexible exhibition zone that evolves alongside the lab’s work. Each part has a defined role, yet the space reads as a single, coherent system.
Neutral surfaces and matte finishes create a calm backdrop for devices and physical artifacts. Subtle green accents reference the IoT Lab identity without dominating the environment, while vertical greenery introduces balance and softness.
Lighting is used to guide attention rather than decorate the space. General illumination is paired with accent lighting, allowing focus to shift naturally between people, objects, and presentations — supporting both in-person collaboration and video communication.
Furniture and storage elements form a flexible, lightweight system that adapts to workshops, discussions, and demonstrations. Nothing is fixed unnecessarily, the space remains open to change.
The result is not a showroom, but a working environment with presence — precise, composed, and grounded in real engineering practice
