MYTER OM SKANDINAVIA Coworking

Sweden • Design and Visualization by theROOM

"A coworking space is an open area designed for efficient work and comfortable leisure time. Here, you'll find a spacious kitchen equipped with everything necessary for preparing snacks and beverages, fostering breaks and socializing with colleagues. The dining area offers cozy sofas and chairs for lunches and informal meetings.

The area for individual work consists of comfortable desks with connectivity to electronic devices, providing a tranquil and focused working environment. A relaxation zone includes comfortable chairs and sofas, ideal for short breaks or informal project discussions.

The leisure zone typically incorporates gaming amenities, books, or a quiet space for relaxation, allowing individuals to unwind and recharge before their next work session. A coworking space is created to maintain a harmonious balance between work, social interactions, and relaxation, promoting productivity and satisfaction in the work process."

Let's start talking about the basis of the concept and the first thing that might have caught your eye is the large and unusual tree. In Scandinavian mythology there is a myth about a miraculous tree.
Here's a little excerpt:

“It is said that in ancient times people built their homes at the foot of mighty trees, so that the strong trunks would serve as support. They wanted to organize their dwellings like the Universe: after all, in the middle of it the Gods grew a tree to penetrate all nine worlds and bind them together. This tree is the ash tree, and they say it has no equal in power and beauty.
and beauty. It sprouted from the lower worlds, its trunk supports the Midgard of men, and its crown is higher than the heavens. to travel between the worlds, there is no better way. The tree has three roots, and these roots are far apart.  One is with the Aesir in the heavens, and the other with the Frost Giants, where the abyss of Ginungagap used to be. And the third root stretches to the Dark World of Niflheim, and still the stream bubbles beneath it. the Boiling Cauldron.  In the poisonous spring the evil dragon Nidhögg has settled, he gnaws on the root of the ash tree, hoping to destroy men and gods... Men and Gods. Beneath that root in Jotunheim there is also a key, and whoever drinks from it, "will gain knowledge and wisdom."

Thus the tree in our project will symbolize the appeal to the origins, "roots" and of course life force and wisdom. 

Let's talk about the second element of our concept - glass imitating ice. We also took this idea from Scandinavian mythology, namely to Jotunheim. According to legends, it is one of the nine worlds, 
a cold, icy land inhabited by Jotun giants.

In our concept ice means purity of thoughts and creativity, crystal clear ideas, and bright illumination is an inspiration for creative thinking of visitors.

Aquarium is a collective image, in Scandinavian mythology it is very much connected with water, mystical springs. In addition, the Scandinavian people for many centuries have been known as seafarers, conquering new lands. 
Water in our concept is a symbol of life energy and inspiration.
