PVRA is a coworking space designed to evoke the concept of ascension. Its pyramid-shaped architecture allows visitors to navigate through spaces organized hierarchically by function and size.
At the entrance, a view of the lobby, the vertical circulation areas, and the balconies provides an initial sense of the layout of the spaces.
On the ground floor, the largest space is the coworking area. It is designed to be accessible to everyone and allows for flexible organization and free movement. Workstations can be either fixed or movable.
Circulation routes and passageways are highlighted by Corten steel frames, particularly in vertical circulation areas, which echo this design language.
The first balcony serves as a passageway but is also a space for working, strolling, and contemplation, allowing users to choose where they want to work.
On the first floor, the fablab echoes the architectural style of the coworking space, creating a sense of visual continuity.
The second balcony offers the same features as the first and also provides an unobstructed view of the opening in the facade, creating a connection between the interior and exterior and allowing natural light to enter.
The top floor is reserved for event and social spaces, including a bar and tea room.
Finally, the last event space is the conference room. It is the culmination of this journey, embodying the ideals of work, sharing, listening, discovery, and ambition that coworking represents.
