This project is the new office of fillstudio. The designer tried to create an atmosphere like an art gallery in the office, giving consideration to both art display and working functionality. Through control of the spatial proportions and the absolute submission to and grasp of natural light , the designer has provided the studio with an immersive atmosphere in which people and objects are homogenized. People and objects have their own place, and there is no principal-subordinate relationship between the two. Objects seem to adopt a fresh and new look every day, and people have a greater awareness of the objects in the space. Objects in space are often subject to changes. The addition of an item, the sudden change of natural light at certain times, or even visits from friends may also make the designer re-consider the spatial state.To some extent, the spatial state of the studio indicates the design team's concept of space as well as their strong vision of trying to practice contemporary life and aesthetics in an interdisciplinary way.  There are obvious differences in the space of the two floors of the studio. The first floor tends to be classical and symmetrical in terms of its spatial dimensions. Space acts as the background to all else, and a clean framework and objectivity are required to support all possible changes to the display in the future. This is crucial for designers. The space on the second floor is relatively dynamic, incorporating office, conference, and lounge and leisure facilities. Arranged in an array, the randomly staggered high and low ceilings and the wall cabinets on both sides find an effortless balance between virtual and solid design elements. This is the outcome of combining site structure and functional requirements. The track spotlights are arranged on the side of the ceiling blocks, producing an effect of "invisible lighting" in some spaces. In the corner of the space hangs a transparent image of a human with part of its body suspended in the air parallel to the ceiling. This design serves two purposes. First, it emphasizes the horizontal pull of space. Second, just as desired, it brings fun and artistry while "playing" with the gravity of space. The oak lighting pillar is not simply defined by its shape. In fact, the computer equipment rely on it to obtain power from the ceiling. The designer has also added a set of pure copper wall lamps at equal spacing on the side, aiming to disguise its true purpose as a utility pillar.Surrounded by worktables, the lighting pillar pierces the sections of ceiling. Its positioning is related to the plane line. The designer hopes to create a circuitous line around the working area within the limited space available, so as to facilitate the interaction between workers. The designer has tried to interact and strike a balance with the original spatial structure by adapting the site, leveraging its advantages, or simply by implementing the desired effects. This is an energy field related to “objects”. The designer never tires of managing the space. It's an endless game of seeking a balance between internal and external, the macro and the micro.
