Hufft Projects - Field Trip
Hufft Projects started the company making mainly projects and some objects with digital fabrication. After that, the demand of digital fabrication`s objects started growing up quickly. Nowadays, they have been investing a lot in digital fabrication due to this demand.
They have for research an open small space in the middle of the building which is super interesting because of the facility to go there for inspiration and creativity.
The relaxed workplace with music helps for a good environment during work hours. Furthermore, they can easily talk to each other because of the connectivity between tables. Also, it can improve knowledge between coworkers and help to solve problems fast due to the proximity.
Normally, architects at Hufft Projects do not execute their own projects, which means that architects design their projects in the front of the building and all execution of their projects is made by industrial designers in the back of the building.
The transparency between the design part of the building and the execution part is very interesting because it is used as a table of annotations. Also, it gives a very consistent style to the originality of the building.
The glass wall between work space and design space is awesome because it allows the designers and craftsmen to visually be connected and share the space, but still provides separation. Also, I have a theory that the craftsmen writing their checklists on the glass walls is the designers way of keeping tabs on the work being done in the shop.
