The paper focuses on the importance of socio-spatial patterns and atmospheric qualities for knowledge work in real and virtual environments. On the background of research in the fields of Knowledge Architecture, Online Worlds and Environmental Design we show the interdependence between architectural design and human-computer interaction. The paper presents a design approach for "hyper-spaces" that fuses the qualities and opportunities of both realms into defined design-patterns.
