About Symbiotic Sustainability Office
Symbiotic Sustainability is an office interior of 500 square meters in Taichung City, Taiwan. The layout divides the space into front, middle and rear areas, holding a conference area, a reading area and individual work booths. Book walls act as the main element and store a large number of books, with room for future growth. Light colored materials ease eye strain during long working hours. Carpets in the conference area reduce floor noise and dust. A heat exchanger filters fine particles to improve air quality. Floor-to-ceiling windows link the interior with the planted outdoor space.
