Macro Technology Campus HQ located in Shunde, Guangdong, China

The design transforms Macro into a modern employer coveted by future talents. Natural light is a focal element in the seven-floor headquarters, aiming to bring a mindful wellbeing culture to life. 

A flute motif continues through the double-height atrium to set a modern tone upon entering the lobby. The ground floor is home to the new Brand Showroom and a unique Bayview Auditorium. Inside, a deep blue terrazzo creates an immersive mood, enhanced by an atypical asymmetrical layout that maximizes viewing angle. The floor-to-ceiling acoustic panels and custom-developed theater benches are all upholstered in 100% wool textiles by Kvardat for optimal comfort and acoustics. Outside, warmth wraps around a circular staircase, echoing the recessed moonlight. Up the stairs, cozy cabins welcome informal group work and visitor hangouts. 

The office floors let in ample sunlight by placing glass partitions away from the facade, achieving energy efficiency with less power. Transparent offices give clean sightlines, boosting team spirit and inclusivity. Finally, a bright red staircase anchors the central social space as a symbol of the company's pioneer engineering DNA.
