To rethink the office space of the future, to adapt to it and drive business growth, and to highlight uniqueness in commonalities is a vision shared by the client and ourselves. We set out to explore the combination and interaction of multiple spaces by examining and exploring the distinctive features of the company, and by extracting, breaking down and developing from the elements of its logo. We seek to incorporate more possibilities to co-create a cool and fun work environment.

Depth and tranquility set the tone for the entrance, as multiple mirrors on the ceiling and walls blur the line between virtual and real, conveying a sense of ritual. Drawing from the iconic curved shape, free-flowing silhouettes are created. The interior opens up from a glass front punctuated by curved windows, an important element throughout the space.

The designer repeats organic forms, undulates silhouettes and multi-dimensional mapping overlap to create a fluid space that mimics a wormhole. Designed with current and future functions in mind, the display section leaves blank spaces in between, a gallery and an exhibition in one. An art installation serves as a central hub, melting boundaries for an endless expanse of vision, a striking view with contrasting colors and lighting.

A circular layout of traffic flow lends flexibility to the space while connecting each functional zone. A glass curtain encloses the atrium, filtering out noise without blocking sunlight.

The open office space features large floor-to-ceiling windows that eliminate the boundary between the exterior and interior, and dark ceiling grilles that echo the floor in color. A sunken meeting room is created using the original building structure.

The private banquet room is separated by sliding doors that open and close easily and smoothly as needed, and is thoughtfully outfitted by the designer with supporting service facilities. Open and private at the same time, the banquet room is a continuation and integral part of the entire space, dotted with the same materials, shapes and details. It is a space of tranquility, contrasted by the Huangpu River rushing by outside the window.

In addition to the office and banquet areas, there is a recreation section designated for learning and play for our clients’ children, including a music room, a study area, a physical training area and a climbing wall.

As for company expansion, the changes and adjustments of functional zoning, and product durability, we should not only consider the current needs but also fully consider the needs of the next three or five years, or even longer in the future, so as to provide staff with better experience and sustainability.

In terms of material selection, the designer doesn’t pursue the luxury, fashionable and style tendencies, rejects a large number of synthetic chemical materials and choose ecological building materials to avoid affecting people's health and even the destruction of the ecological environment.
