-- During the planning phase of HUB21, we encountered several unique challenges that required creative solutions. One significant challenge was the constraint of a limited budget, coupled with the nascent Bitcoin ecosystem in Belgrade. Unlike more established tech hubs, such as Silicon Valley, Belgrade primarily relies on outsourced tech talent, limiting the local entrepreneur landscape's innovation potential. +

- To address the challenges of limited budget and the nascent Bitcoin ecosystem in Belgrade, the HUB21 team adopted a strategic approach focused on inclusivity and approachability in the branding. Recognizing the importance of creating an environment that appeals to individuals beyond the deeply technical, vibrant and youthful colors, such as bright green and yellow, coupled with a strong black for typography, were selected. This choice aimed to create a welcoming atmosphere for individuals from diverse backgrounds, regardless of their familiarity with Bitcoin. + To address the challenges of limited budget and the nascent + Bitcoin ecosystem in Belgrade, the HUB21 team adopted a strategic + approach focused on inclusivity and approachability in the + branding.

- Recognizing the positive impact of nature on well-being and productivity, HUB21 made deliberate efforts to incorporate biophilic design elements throughout the space, despite challenges with natural light. In an older building situated in the center of the city, accessibility was prioritized, but limitations in natural light penetration were addressed creatively. + Recognizing the positive impact of nature on well-being and + productivity, HUB21 made deliberate efforts to incorporate + biophilic design elements throughout the space, despite challenges + with natural light.

- Despite the limited natural light due to neighboring buildings obstructing windows on three sides of the main workspace, HUB21 implemented innovative solutions to create a welcoming and inspiring environment. Indoor plants were strategically placed to bring elements of nature indoors and improve air quality. Mirrors were strategically positioned to reflect available natural light, enhancing the perception of space and brightness. + Despite the limited natural light due to neighboring buildings + obstructing windows on three sides of the main workspace, HUB21 + implemented innovative solutions to create a welcoming and + inspiring environment.

- To compensate for the lack of natural light, HUB21 invested in high-quality artificial lighting solutions. LED lighting fixtures with adjustable brightness and color temperature were installed throughout the space to mimic natural daylight as closely as possible. Task lighting was also provided to ensure optimal visibility and comfort for members working on detailed tasks. + To compensate for the lack of natural light, HUB21 invested in + high-quality artificial lighting solutions.

- In addition to incorporating living elements such as plants, HUB21 selected materials and finishes inspired by nature to create a sense of connection to the outdoors. Earthy tones, natural wood accents, and textured surfaces were used to evoke a sense of warmth and tranquility, despite the limitations of the building's environment. + In addition to incorporating living elements such as plants, HUB21 + selected materials and finishes inspired by nature to create a + sense of connection to the outdoors.

- Despite the challenges posed by the building's location and limited natural light, HUB21 succeeded in creating a calming and inspiring environment for its members. By carefully integrating biophilic design elements, leveraging innovative lighting solutions, and selecting materials that evoke nature, HUB21 transformed its space into a welcoming oasis in the heart of the city, where creativity and productivity flourish. + Despite the challenges posed by the building's location and + limited natural light, HUB21 succeeded in creating a calming and + inspiring environment for its members.
