The virtual world plays a more and more crucial part in human life along with the rapid development of science and technology. In such a background, mobile phones have become the indispensable items for people to enter such digital world. Therefore, the prospecting and conception related to mobile phones in the future will trigger the pondering of the group on bags design. Everything is wrapped in bags in the past, however, bags are merely required to hold a mobile phone now. 

In the future, they will just be the decorative accessories. Say also proposes the concept specified as “exploring the edge of the office space in cities” for the group space which has been newly constructed regarding to the “fashion based on digital social media” concept proposed by WARM STUDIO. 

As the employment of enterprises is getting younger, the working mode for different types of jobs and different age structures is also changing quietly.Firstly, the space is further split into three elliptical belts from inside to the outside dimensions on the basis of work freedom which are respectively the FREE WORK, BASIC WORK and NO WORK accordingly. 

BASIC WORK: it further contains six major departments and 104 fixed units whose daily office forms are basically maintained. FREE WORK: it is consisted by a clockwise circular flow line which is located in the center and used for meeting the demands of different departments, as well as carrying different auxiliary spaces, including various multi-functional spaces for reception,discussion, exhibition, meal and so on. 

NO WORK: it is based on the veranda created for active sunlight shading which is covered by two runways. They play the parts of leisure and exercise for employees in off-work hours. The inspiration for the creation of wall surface comes from TAOTAO bags of the group. There are symmetrical and round shapes, the folded seams with hardware hidden inside, which is able to eliminate the human traces to the greatest extent. These bag elements are made into the urban texture in the square by Say . 

Moreover, the cut-parts of walls are equally folded by the internal corners while they are polished well by the external corners. Nearly all the design logic on site is the manifestation of brand bags manufacturing. Work area is built according to the character and habits of each department to meet the needs and uses of different departments.Especially in the design department, there will be more custom-made display cabinets and storage spaces by say. 

From the perspective of enterprises, it is conductive to its long-term development if there is a stable staff structure and efficient office state lasting for long term. The purpose is to improve the well-being of space users. G-LOOP aims at creating a sustainable and happy office space by exploring the office environment in cities on the basis of sharing, circulation and nature.
