The new office of say architects is situated on the street, adjacent to the Qiantang River. In contrast to the previously more private office areas, the street-facing location presents greater challenges in terms of openness. say hopes that the new office can depart from traditional office modes, integrating leisure into the workspace. With user needs as a starting point, they aim to explore a more life-oriented open office space, providing a more comfortable and relaxed working experience for each user.

100*100 I-beams serve as the basis for the exterior facade structure, extending both indoors and outdoors. Outwardly protruding "cow legs" combined with ropes allow landscape plants to climb and grow along the ropes, while horizontal steel pipes are embedded with mist sprays. The I-beams traversing inwardly provide support for the ladder shelves indoors, and the exposed steel frames serve as architectural pillars throughout the interior, creating a more relaxed and enjoyable office environment.

The entire ground floor of the office is used for office activities, incorporating three-dimensional boxes due to the advantage of height: a large conference room, stairs, and a model room. The adjacent block division ensures coherent use of each functional area. Cast-in-place concrete stairs serve as connecting elements, with fabric covering during formwork to give them a natural texture after demoulding. Holes left during formwork on the stairs serve as fixed points for handrails, which are made of threaded steel, creating a more authentic atmosphere through the combination of original building materials.

The entrance seamlessly connects to the community street, extending the sidewalk bricks to the outdoor seating area.，allowing the office to embrace the natural surroundings of the community. Additionally, Say has added benches and seating areas in the landscaped area for relaxation, welcoming passersby and community residents to rest and chat casually, seamlessly integrating the office into the community. This creates an open, shared space where life and work are no longer starkly divided.

Inside the office, priority is given to considering the user's work experience. The layout of functional areas aligns with the user's work habits, with workstations positioned in the center. Soft partitions formed by material storage cabinets separate three work desks, ensuring that various materials are readily accessible behind each workstation, facilitating the uninterrupted manifestation of design inspiration into reality.

Transparent windows connect work and life, allowing one's gaze to shift outside to vibrant street scenes. Biophilic design alleviates work pressure for every user, freeing the office environment from rigid spatial constraints, turning any corner into a place for open work or leisure.
