The new office space of E Studio lies concealed in the city. The whole space design looks like a room in a room. Volumes spread the existing space, responding to the form of the building. The space design tries to explore an independent and free space form with pure posture and intuitive perception. The unique intention comes from the blur between the natural and the unnatural.

The new office of E Studio is located within a sunken space, and the indoor and outdoor natural landscapes are closely connected. The roof is a lawn garden landscape with a partial slope and a strong sense of visual stretching.The unconventional trapezoidal layout and the collision between the exposed rough concrete structure of the ceiling and the delicate industry stainless steel give the space a brutal atmosphere, in the meanwhile meets the functional requirements.

The office design abandons the traditional independent-room layout, and the open plan contributes to more efficient communication and cooperation and enjoys the state of co-creation. ''Just right'' is the most self-consistent attitude of the design team. The flat office structure and flexible working methods present a more independent consciousness and individual character. 

At the entrance, an L-shaped metal block is made of matte stainless steel; a wooden viewing platform extends above the machine room; the wooden box in the space is a tearoom, and the top is used as a rest area, overlooking the office area; the regular-arranged cross metal modules cover the entire wall and can be embedded in laminates or wall panels at will to display material samples.

Many large tropical plants are distributed throughout the space, and the natural ecology highlights its vigorous vitality under the contrast of rough concrete. Making a good design is not an easy task. Designers are often in a state of pondering, and comfortable office space is crucial; the office atmosphere of the studio could change with time and situations. 

As night falls, the dimming light brings emotional buffering, allowing thoughts to dissociate and slow down.It is not perfect, but this un-perfectivity is good. A designer is also a good presenter, and he knows how to better present his design, with more eye-catching and exquisite composition and polishing, some of which is even unreally perfect. E Studio tries to return to reality with the original intention, representing each project as realistically as possible.
