The city of Bandung as one of the creative cities with the largest number of freelancers in Indonesia has become a potential area for the development of start-ups and creative young workers. However, there are still many factors that might fail their journeys, such as declining market, poor teamwork, expensive office space rents, and the infrastructure that doesn't suitable for the start-up work environment, so the demand for a better workspace is increasing because of the need for social interaction and a place for developing innovation and creativity. This co-working hub project is located on Sulanjana Street, Bandung with the topic "Leisure at Work" that explains comfortable spaces but still supports productivity for its workers. This mixed-use project involves a lifestyle center for leisure and co-working space to support productivity at work. In addition, this facility aims to be a collaborative space as well as a fun, comfortable, flexible, and stress-free atmosphere. This project has a positive social impact by providing social spaces, reducing consumerism, and supporting the community. The area of 5,500 m2 with a total building area of 6,800 m2 can accommodate up to 500 people in a 3-level workspace and 1-level for semi-basement. Moreover, the design consists of three masses to keep the cityscape by adding the semi-open space that includes an open skywalk as a building connector that creates openness, connectivity, and environmentally friendly spaces.
