ParaBox

ParaBox is a grid based modular system that can be used to create multi level spaces to small scale products following a lattice structure. The kit of parts that include multiple joineries, plywood and acrylic panels and MS box section pipes. The modular building blocks due to the adaptability of the joineries allow interconnectivity at both small and larger scales. The panel showcases one of the ways the modular system can be used, to create a co-working space situated atop the Old Cept Workshop. The system allows creation of work areas that range from single person units to larger work areas that can accommodate multiple people.
