In the noise, you can feel at ease. This is our definition of such a first self-space. Life and growth, creation and realization will be placed in it. When faced with this unbridled space for the first time, we try our best to realize the expression of self-spirit in space. 

So when the planning plane started, we abandoned all techniques except functionality. So simplicity, warmth, brightness, inclusion has become the main words of the expression space. We want this to be a user-only space. Warm, relaxed and orderly is what we want to achieve. We have abandoned the workspace that exists as an appearance, preferring it to be presented as a transparent and orderly place of life. So we extracted the method of private house to complete the planning of the plane. Bedroom, study, dining room, living room corresponding to the work area, conference room, negotiation area, meeting area.

We use wood, art paint to build the whole space, to achieve the whole space atmosphere expression. Users of the space are expected to be immersed in this for the maximum extent possible. The aligning composition and visual continuity between forms are the main ways of spatial order and form expression. Repeated cutting of different sizes of the same material in the form of metal installations and facades uses the most basic expression of dotted surfaces to form the most basic rhythmic relationship of space. 

The echo of the vault and the curved background, the combination of high and low forms, breaks the single rhythmic order of space, and forms the interaction and dialogue between spaces.
