The design of this office is an impulsive but intentional attempt. We boldly explored the possible forms of future offices while also incorporating humanity to the workplace. The project reveals minimalist, artistic design languages, whilst integrating Eastern and Western ideas.
Innovation:
As conceiving its new office in Shenzhen, we intended to create an otherworld in the moment to generate unique sensory experience in the space. The moment is only perfected with the participation of people and behaviors, which is an unintentional perfection. With a confident attitude, we deliberately set the material display area at the center of the space, which is near the entrance. The central position of this area makes work more efficient. It shows aesthetic expressions, and reflects the design team's challenge against uneasiness. Usually dark-toned offices are controversial. The dark hue of AD ARCHITECTURE office surprisingly draws the sight line to the beautiful scenery outside, hence enhancing the employees' interaction with nature.
Creativity:
The office area breaks through the traditional working environment composed of several separate compartments, but applies an open layout instead. The working areas for different departments are designated but not separated, which improves communication efficiency and creates a more equal and harmonious working atmosphere. Reception area, material display area and office area constitute the AD ARCHTECTURE office in the simplest manner. The twisting circulation route formed at the entrance and the relatively low-profile reception area create a private, mysterious spatial atmosphere, and reveal a hidden beauty.
Functionality:
We abandoned the traditional meeting mode where people sit facing each other, but unified the meeting area and the reception area. Through smart lighting and stereo system, this integrated area can also be turned into a cinema or an entertainment area. This realizes maximum utilization of space, weakens its business atmosphere, and makes it more relaxing. Here, people are not opposite but in the same community, which reveals "warmth" in the cold office building.
Sustainability:
The simple material scheme and travertine-texture Italian coatings reveal a sense of weight of the space. FINETT carpet from German features comfort, excellent sound absorption performance and fine textures. The combination of stainless steel and lighting enhances the sense of technology of the space and meanwhile enriching spatial scenes. Staff Care. We have equipped each colleague with an HAG office chair imported from Norway. The ergonomic chair can adjust mechanical support according to users' sitting postures. Colleagues' comfort and health are a part of the company's hidden asset. We intend to emphasize warmth and humanity through small details.
