As I mentioned yesterday, the idea of a workshop turning to reality has already been set in motion. The next step now is taking our dreams and ideas of the workshop and tailoring them to suit the needs of the space and the needs of the organisation. We've been having several discussions about this both in office and outside it.
How would the layout be? Would we want to shift the entire office there? How would it work if most of the woodwork and fabrication was done in the workshop and only assembled or fixed on site? Would we open the workshop to other people on a pre-decided basis? How would we design the space? Would we use certain parts of it to display our work - both in terms of architecture and the products we wish to create?
A whole bunch of questions with answers that we're not yet certain about. But it's definitely interesting to see how the tone of the conversation has changed. Early we would have these discussions but they didn't necessarily have a sense of finality to them. The discussions now seem to have more of a decisiveness. It's no longer about the idea of it but rather how we envision the space now that its a reality!
