英美烟草柬埔寨的概念将一个现有的工厂，一个镀锌屋顶的钢结构，转变成一个充满活力和色彩的工作空间。与标准办公室相比，设计更多的是遵循协同工作设置的古怪精神，通过围绕仓库裸露的骨架构建新的功能空间，尊重仓库的特殊工业特性。由于该结构的两层楼高对运行空调的成本和能源浪费提出了特别的挑战，吊顶改善了通风，而封闭式办公室的较低天花板也阻挡了冷空气。家具的摆放方式可以在需要时提供更多的办公桌空间。
The concept for British American Tobacco Cambodia converts an existing factory, a steel structure with a galvanised roof, into a dynamic and colourful workspace. The design is guided more by the quirky spirit of coworking setups than a standard office, paying respect to the warehouse’s special industrial character by constructing a new functional space around its exposed skeleton. As the structure’s two-storey height poses particular challenges in terms of the costs of running air-conditioning as well as energy waste, a suspended ceiling improves ventilation while lower ceilings in enclosed offices also block cool air. Furniture is placed in such a way to allow more desk space if required.
