The oval building of the concept makes the office base. The indoor space is people-oriented, subverts the cross axis compartment structure of the office, and forms the main wall in the space through human posture and soft curve. 

In the entrance hall of the first floor gate is an arc cabinet wall, which hides all kinds of functional equipment. The water bar on one side seems to guide us into an UFO to start our journey of beautiful curves. With the advantage of glass curtains around the building, the partial opening of compartment wall is hollowed out to break the heavy feeling of conventional solid wall, and the light, thin and highly penetrating gradual glass is added to reveal the outdoor green plants into the indoor space, bringing nature into the space. The sunlight shuttles through the gap and the space is not bound by the frame, presenting more moving line funs of the space. While wandering in layers, interweaving of volume and light and shadow changes, this space give us different feelings at different angles. 

The concept of people-oriented extends to the human curves, which brings the beautiful and natural lines into the spatial structure and also extends the original architectural curve to the interior for combination. By using modern scientific and technological methods to extract the element symbols and transform them into the language used in the space, it shows the interaction between the volume and the sense of layers in the space.
