Innovation:E Studio has crafted a visionary commercial space for Higold's Interstellar Headquarters, a titan in comprehensive high-end home hardware solutions. This design reimagines spaces from the grand lobby to intimate showrooms. The masterstroke is rooted in the conceptualisation of the space as a "Modern Art Museum" that unveils the future of living through a curated, museum-like experience. At its heart lies visual artistry, transcending mere snapshots of daily life or simple spatial storytelling. Instead, it offers visitors a profound spiritual journey - one that sparks awakening and reflections on the future.

Functionality:Sinks stand in a precise formation like sentinels with a striking visual rhythm. As you wander freely among them, the boundaries of reality begin to blur, allowing your imagination to become the architect.Cabinets and islands echo daily life, while clean lines and stainless steel exude calm restraint. Symmetrical slopes add a touch of grandeur. Hidden within, hardware fittings emerge as prized exhibits.Step into the wardrobe display zone and feel reality shift. A triangular steel wardrobe stands as a monument to order defied. Folded forms ripple like space-time, showcasing not just products, but portals to other worlds. Strategic sightlines capture your attention, turning a simple walk-through into a journey of discovery.Circular installations stand as portals to a realm beyond dimensions. Arcs of varying curvatures carve out unique exploratory paths, transforming its inspection into an adventure.

Creativity:In this project, E Studio strips away the complexity and extravagance of traditional design. Instead, we employ materials that evoke profound tranquility and artistic forms, infusing the space with museum-like serenity. Higold's Interstellar Headquarters transcends mere sensory delight - it's a cultural crucible that ignites thought and kindles enlightenment.

Eco - social impact:Utilization of natural lighting: By rationally planning the layout of windows and skylights in the building, sufficient natural light is introduced, thus reducing the duration of reliance on artificial lighting during the day.Resource sustainability - High recyclability: Stainless steel is a highly recyclable material. After its service life ends, nearly 100% of stainless steel can be recycled and reused.Pandomo is a decorative material for floors and walls. Its composition is relatively environmentally friendly. Moreover, the construction process is simple and can effectively reduce energy consumption because when installing Pandomo, no complex equipment is required, nor are high - temperature and high - energy - consuming processing procedures needed.
