About the project Arizon's office is located in the heart of Shanghai’s most prosperous Huaihai Road, surrounded by the uttermost trendy shopping malls in Shanghai, as well as Shanghai’s history and culture representative “Shikumen” architecture. At the storm center where eastern and western culture collides and multi-elements of unique liberal tastes merge, exceeding the boundary of conventional design, inside high-rise a field where fashion synchronizes and past communicates with future is forged, an imaginative world that “breathes” and is warmly tangible, inspiring mellow sentiments as if being in a park, delightful sunshine touching on our shoulder, free and at ease. Design Challenge: Grounded within closed high-rise building office space, to create boundless and adaptable multi-dimensional functionality experience. Designer conceptualized from imaginative park, seizing a lifelike sentient atmosphere of enjoyable leisure. Bright and thorough glass window introduces outdoor natural light inside. The whole space longs for a closer engagement with the nature, replicating a landscape resembling park in high-rise building. Every move taken grasps a slice of the prismatic sky, as if wielding on a canvas with ardent ambition ……Buildings of various heights cluster into an envelope, as if a wander traveling time-space of both past and future ends up unpreparedly plunging into the vigorous imaginative world. The overall space is as if framing the urban landscape from mid-air. Where the eyesight unpretentiously lands are buildings of various heights and distinguishing forms aligning with eye level, roofs, red brick walls, windows, trees…….the enclosure of which conjugates an exceptional domain, an 「imaginative park」 hidden among the plain sight of skyscrapers. Walking into the office is like Setting foot in a center street park following a winding lane, sunlight glistering among leaves, red brick walls, walkway path, long bench…… About function From working space to multi-dimensional scenario experience, autonomous spatial growth. Conventional working space limits human activities by rigid formality. A space of autonomy, adaptability and diversity breaks boundaries in metrical sense, extending territory of imagination: park mode, media mode, work mode, exhibition mode and more. Let the working space transform into an imaginative park, where ideas explore freely. Social meaning: Reminding people to care about the genetic source of the city they are living in, and appealing joined efforts to nurture a place of adventurous imagination and emphatic opinions.
