The three colours of yellow, blue, and red are the fundamental elements in colour aesthetics. They each represent the spatial colour scheme of 43rd, 44th, and 45th floors. The design echoes the architectural characteristics of Maike Center, through the extensive use of geometrical elements including angled line segments, triangles, and straight lines, as well as the use of round corners. Such design representation is mainly expressed in the spatial layouts of room functions on each floor, the outlines of various materials and fabrics, the shapes of decorating lamps and the ambience of lighting, the positioning of furniture and its texture. The design of the reception desk combines mechanical aesthetics, visual tension, and lighting, which integrates into the public space as a functional component. The crystal bar rods on the vertically-gridded background wall imitate streaks of rain which fall into the water feature, joining the reception background with the installation. Vertical flows through the stairs make it the key component that connects the upper and lower levels. Transparent glasses on the sides not only ensures safety but also allows the delicate and harmonious beauty of the white steel plates and wooden steps to infiltrate into the public space. The use of casual office furniture and appropriate lighting design integrate together the real needs of employees for a functionalised space, open spaces for negotiations and discussions, and recreational space for tea breaks.
