The Making of Coroflot’s New Mobile Work Unit 

This past week, our partners over at Coroflot.com unveiled their brand new office on wheels, the Mobile Work Unit (MWU). The MWU is the result of Coroflot.com’s collaboration LOS OSOS, a Portland-based design studio known for designing creative retail, workplace, and exhibit environments.

The cheerful unit features polycarbonate siding, wood interiors, bench seating, an open office area, and a food prep station. Rounding out the space is the company’s brand new logo on the front of the trailer.

LOS OSOS’ Principal Designer, Laurence Sarrazin notes the structure’s unique siding:

“The thing I’m most excited about is that the construction is post-and-beam, which alleviates the wall’s function as a structure. So I used polycarbonate as siding, which allows all this light to come in while offering an acoustical barrier.”  

Coroflot is a longstanding web platform dedicated to connecting designers with professional opportunities, but the goal of building a physical office space was to bring the company’s mission to life. 

“Coroflot is a virtual community, but the connections between employers and people seeking work, those are real world connections. We felt it was important to introduce a real world component into what Coroflot does” —Coroflot Co-Founder, Eric Ludlum

Here’s a closer look at how the innovative space was built:

Congrats, Coroflot.com and LOS OSOS on a super cool new space!
