Design by Gen · John Torbet

The studio

Design by Gen is a privately owned practice offering interior design and architecture, specialising in office and industrial design in the UK. I worked with Gen over several years, preparing and assisting with all the plans and drawings each project needed.

Existing to proposed

A typical job: survey the existing floor, then draw the general arrangement. New solid and acoustic partitions, glazed test rooms, furniture and floor finishes, each with its own legend, at 1:100.

First-floor office plan at 1:100 (proposed) — A UK office floor: the existing shell, then the proposed layout with open-plan desks, two test rooms, a meeting room and a waiting area. Drag to compare.
