Catwalk Headquarter

This project is planned for the headquarter office of the leading performing arts agency organization, "Catwalk Group," in Taiwan. Catwalk is composed of a highly qualified elite team and is a well-known and iconic group of leading Asian performing arts brokers, directing the strategic favor of mainstream fashion brands.
 The concept of the project's design is to create a space with three spatial elements: "extension," "dialogue," and "realization." It emphasizes on psychological transformation through fields and spaces. 

The spatial atmosphere enriches visual perception and helps students immerse themselves in a field of dreams and realization during training.
 "Extension" represents an extension of various performing arts. Opening the horizon, the connection and linking the movie scenes, create more touches and possibilities for performance training.

 "Dialogue" represents a communication philosophy, thus a focused, comfortable and convenient one-to-one or one-to-many functional space is created, and a good allocation for communication and learning is exhibited. "Realization" is the stage at which dreams come true. The decoration themes of the overall field-distribution catalyze the space tensions by installing artwork. 

An impression of the fast-changing fashion industry is created with the multiple integration texture.
 Gazing at the details from the elevator hall, the arc-shaped walls of cold metal plaques on both sides of the elevators are interspersed with lighting effects. With minimal decoration techniques, the space is instantaneously transformed into an extension platform for a fashion journey. Moving the attention to the top stair hall, as if it turns into another cosmic space and time, black mirrors are used on all sides to mix and match metal ceilings, full of cold reflections that emphasize the stage effect.
 

The main color of the entrance hall is simple and clean, and the contrasting rough concrete surface opens the welcoming prologue. The eye-catching entry wall features the artwork, "Stars Trinity" by Japanese artist Komatsu Miwa, responding to Catwalk's goal of creating stars of tomorrow. The coffee corner gives visitors a light, fresh, and trendy impression, and the sketches on the ground are mixed with golden curves in the space fashion. In the office space, a large amount of white is used with basic material elements, supplemented by neutral color light and appropriate illumination to enhance rational thinking at work. 

This project is an eight-floor field. The designer brings in trendy elements and widely installs them in various areas, such as European-style curved surfaces, simple terrazzo surfaces, ancient Taiwanese carved glass walls, painted blackboard walls that can be used as mobile classrooms, and various exquisitely decorated toilets. They are designed to enhance the performance-training environment with multiple visual stimulation. 

Here, every space is a fashion stage. From guest-welcoming area, aisles, staircases, and side views; fashion is everywhere. Like the name “Catwalk,” people can always witness and admire the elegant posture of cat walking in the design.
