As a leading wedding planner, Jiahao group is also a young and innovative enterprise. Meanwhile, the spirit of this team is to make every employee feel the happiness as the desire for marriage. Therefore, how to realize this happiness through the design has become the core to this working space.

The office site is located in an industrial building with 50-years’ history, which was firstly built in 1966 and was used for Shanghai Dongfeng Timber Factory. To optimize the working environment, the design has adjusted the original floors to create a half spatial system. Meanwhile, partial floors in the middle have been removed to integrate the whole space with a three-story high atrium. An outstanding golden staircase is designed to lead all the circulation to this atrium. An illusion of natural light is accomplished d by utilizing artificial light hidden behind the perforated aluminum plates, which also conducts to a scene of golden organ church.

The office not only has the interpretation of contemporary white church but also has a dark retro bar area. Meanwhile, both the interactive public stage and semi-private telephone booth are included. Additionally, a variety of private, semi-private and open space are distinguished by different layers of floors, height difference, colors, and material textures. In those rest areas, the visual connection, created between the window holes and atrium, has also lead to a concept of being “audience.”
