The nature of conventional office space is usually distorted by the environment of cubicles, blindly pursuing cost area and ignoring the value of brand display itself. 

Trying to find efficient work profits and a comfortable atmosphere in an office that lacks humanization is contradictory to the space itself. In order to explore ecological office space, the new office of Shangze Design intends to create a pure ecological office garden space, making the interior look pure and vibrant, and inspiring visitors' perception and resonance of the space. A

t the entrance, the office area and the entrance area are effectively separated by a partition wall, allowing visitors to have a transition here, and the two areas are not disturbed, and the moving line is more smooth. The glass box between the entrance and the customer’s waiting area uses traditional dry landscaping techniques, and absorbs the Japanese-style dry landscape at the same time, which treats the quicksand as water. 

The sculpture of the pony grazing on the side of the mountain was completed by my friend and I. In the process of shaping, the design was combined with the deer's demeanor, and it was named "Chaos". This chaos is a microcosm of my interpretation of the Chinese culture of expression, which allows each area in a small space to penetrate each other and ensure the necessary privacy, while also greatly enriching the space experience. 

Between the coldness of marble and metal, the plain terrazzo and 4000K soft lighting bring out a warm white atmosphere, which outlines an orderly and mysterious spatial hierarchy. The designer transforms the poetic into the design, in the low-key and quiet tone of the space, portrays the upward-growing branches, polishes the context and artistic style of the space in the details, and creates the fun of life. The use of pure whiteness strengthens the relationship and atmosphere of the space, and makes the indoor plants lush and peaceful at the same time. The operable glass partition provides privacy and flexibility for the meeting room. There are some relatively closed multi-functional small rooms which are also used as model room and material room. Relatively private independent office can provide employees with a quiet and focused work environment at the same time. 

The white space is conducive to the focus of work, and the office on the second floor provides wide integrated workbenches for designers. The customized shared desktop facilitates the transition from single-person work to teamwork. Various wires are hidden inside the tables. Work storage units are distributed along the side walls of the office, large enough to hold everyone's belongings.
