Spirit of place
The inauguration of CHISAGE Group's new headquarters marks a pivotal moment, gathering the crème de la crème of various business units. Excluding the ground floor lobby, HANGE Design's mastery was pivotal in the interior conception of the edifice. Their visionary design ethos sought to embody innovation, value, and service within the spatial narrative, crafting an ambiance that radiates technological advancement, innovative flair, and sartorial elegance, all within an international office milieu.
For the design team, harmonizing the spatial essence and character with the corporate identity and aesthetic, while accommodating diverse functional demands across various levels and sectors, posed a significant challenge. With precise manipulation of internal flow, proportional scaling, textural materials, chromatic schemes, and lighting design, HANGE Design curated a realm of purity, order, and tranquility. This space not only exudes a modern and open corporate ethos but also embraces an ethos of inclusivity and humility.
The executive reception area, bathed in shades of grey, melds matte metallic surfaces with stonework, creating an ambience that is both majestic and serene. The iconic CHISAGE motif is seamlessly integrated into the spatial design, linking the architectural mass and fenestration, thus resonating with the emblem. A sinuous staircase contrasts with the rectilinear facets of the space, establishing a visual harmony in the void. The reflective play of light on glass balustrades introduces a unique spatial aesthetic, blurring the lines between reflection and reality.
Originating from the fashion sector, the building boasts a bespoke clothing exhibit. Inspired by the textures and weaves of fabric, the design incorporates multidimensional structures and interlaced pathways, crafting an ebb and flow of spaces that dynamically meld various functions and displays. This creates an ethereal and relaxed spatial aura, amidst a play of interconnected yet distinct areas.
Perched atop the edifice, the corporate clubhouse encompasses facilities for business engagements, informal gatherings, and brand showcases. Drawing from Ningbo's cultural ethos and the company's lineage, the design amalgamates Eastern garden aesthetics, modern design principles, and contemporary art, weaving a narrative of an East-meets-West 'Epochal Spirit Realm'. The dining area, tea rooms, and libraries mirror Eastern hospitality – genuine, harmonious, and refined; whereas the bars, music lounges, and cinemas echo a Western lifestyle of comfort, freedom, and relaxation.
The designers assert that the form, structure, and soul of a space are but facets of their creative expression. At their core, these elements are rooted in the client's vision, not merely reflecting the spatial and functional requisites of the corporation but also embodying the entrepreneur's ethos, perspective, and stature. https://v.qq.com/x/page/e35432buhtj.html
