Background story
Wimble partnered with a local entrepreneur to transform a space in Odesa into a co-working office. Our work included naming, branding, and an office management system.
The space was planned across two floors, with offices, shared workspaces, a small coffee shop, meeting rooms, and a room for recording content.
Naming and branding
Odesa’s courtyards gave us a natural starting point. “Dvor” means courtyard; “for work” explained its new purpose. The building’s number, four, brought the two together as Dvor4Work, or D4W.
The arch at the courtyard entrance was chosen as the symbol of Dvor4Work and became the basis of its visual identity.
Designing the automation system
The goal was to support the space with a single on-site administrator. Working with engineers and installers, we designed a system linking NFC-enabled doors and turnstiles, a member app, and an admin panel.
The access logic was designed to connect entry and exit with a member’s account, so the administrator could understand who was in the space and manage access centrally.
Mobile app and admin panel
The mobile application was the biggest part of our work. It was designed to let members access the space, manage their balance, and reserve rooms.
The admin panel included member information, financial reports, a real-time visitor board, and the ability to send a private message to a member.
Meeting room
The meeting room was designed to be booked through the app. Members would choose an available time slot, with a minimum booking of one hour. The reservation and payment belonged to one account.
The flow also covered reminders, overtime, guest access, and cancellations, with notifications for members and the administrator.
NFC access to meeting rooms
NFC passes were designed to let members use their phone’s wallet to access the space’s doors and turnstiles.
For meeting-room bookings, members would gain access to let their guests in 10 minutes before the start. The flow also included a reminder before the booking ended and time to escort guests out.
Summary
Our work covered naming, branding, mobile applications, and the design of the workspace’s management, automation, and security systems.
Dvor4Work never opened because of the war.
“We were on the same wavelength literally from the first days of collaboration. Each new update from them fueled my imagination and desire to launch Dvor4Work as soon as possible.”
