This is an old four-storeyed building . Originally the designer was invited to do renovation for this building and later he is invited to move into the 1 and 2 floors to work. Since it is a historical building and the original structure is not allowed to be changed greatly, the design work is rather difficult. Based on its original structure, the designer creates new blocks and functions for it and rebuilds the spatial order and aesthetics. The 1st floor breaks the design of traditional office space and is positioned as a small-scale art museum and collection. With application of artworks and original design product, the design can be adjusted according to different demands and has infinite possibilities. Meanwhile,the designer creates a peaceful and cozy interior atmosphere and offers a shared space of relaxation in the busy city life. The void space above the entrance is the highlight of this case. Demolish the floor slab between 1st and 2nd floor to form a landscape point and improve the lighting of the 1st floor, which is transparent and with improved interactive. Since position of this atrium landscape stairs is at the lift hall of the original house, the designer moves the lift the back of the house and release this area, thus the stairs become a landscape. The designer hopes people could change their concept and experience on office and make work a kind of enjoyment.
