Rapt Studio | New Media Company Student Challenge
In collaboration with Taleen Badawi.
Tastemade - is an online media company for food lovers who share their passion and love of food and travel through videos from all over the world.
Network - Reaches up to 20 million viewers a month through a variety of sites like Youtube, Facebook, Hulu, Pinterest and Twitter, among others.
Goal - To make content and channels more attractive to advertisers and sponsors as well as viewers.
PROJECT
Location
The Hercules Campus Hangar in Playa Vista, CA
Task
Design a 10,000 sq. ft. area at The Hercules Campus Hangar for a new media company channel that best fit their aesthetics and style of production.
Concept
Global Fusion - connecting diverse and unique food lovers around the world through a creative office space, focusing on connecting people and fostering collaboration and innovation.
Research
Collaboration and communication between the employees and tastemakers from around the world is key to the success of the company.
Focus
To design a creative and flexible space that could host a variety of functions like a creative office, video production, marketing, and special events.
Challenge
One of the things that comes to mind in relation to food is the location of the food’s native country. The city, the town, the architecture and the history of the place. Our challenge was to bring in that charm and environment to the creative office.
Space
Most of the space is open plan. Natural light, the garden, and the old city feeling of the space evoke the freedom and comfort of working outdoors. The approach of providing this type of space has also been shown to help reduce employee stress levels and increases their work efficiency.
Materials
Restored the painted over steel arches that are the main architectural feature of the space inside as well as to finish and polish the existing concrete floors. Other raw materials such as reclaimed wood and existing bricks promote sustainability but also preserve the existing historic structure of The Hercules Campus Hangar. The office space features creature comforts like a modern HVAC system. However, natural cooling is still encouraged by allowing the employee to remotely open one or more of its many lighting controlled, triple pane windows which also block out street noise when sealed closed.
Innovation
As far as on-site production we designed and introduced four distinct kitchen sets so that Tastemade could accommodate any style of cooking for tastemakers to come in and film their videos.
