The Modern Office – Ārepa HQ by Studio 11:11
Ārepa HQ is a pioneering example of the modern office. Drawing on an understanding of both the brand’s visual identity and working practices, Studio 11:11 has created a space that encourages creativity, tranquillity and contentedness.
The peaceful workplace is expertly crafted to encapsulate the holistic entrepreneurial spirit of Ārepa – a thriving start-up producing natural products to support brain health and mental function.
Studio 11:11 adopts a sustainable approach by using second-hand or skilfully up-cycled materials to furnish the space, which is located in the newly developed The Chambers building in Morningside, Auckland. Here, the open plan minimalist design is enhanced with the effect of natural light, maximised using muted tones, transparency and tactile surfaces.
The resulting textures and shadows mirror nature and bring the outside in, inspiring serenity. A raw materiality complements repa’s love of all things natural and is contrasted with hypermodern, sleek materials to subtly emulate the brand story.
