About NorthYork Design Office
NorthYork Design is an office interior of 100 square meters. The office contains a reception area, a counter, a meeting area, a working space and a tea room. Natural stucco, hand-applied paint, wood and stone form a calm and uncluttered setting in low-chroma colors. A reception desk of iron and veneer is lit from below, which reduces the visual weight of the volume. Transparent glass partitions replace solid walls, so the areas stay open and connected. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring daylight and views of greenery into the space.
About Alex Hsiung
We are NorthYork Design. Everything in the design is people-oriented, thinking about the interaction between space and people, persistent and gentle and delicate. I just want to break away from the mainstream established spatial form of the frame, and look at seemingly ordinary things from different angles to give new life.

With this recognition, Alex Hsiung is a winner of 1 A' Design Award.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Office is a place where you spend more than 8 hours a day. Unlike any traditional and cold look, we hope to create a different office with the theme of humanism and purity. The natural stucco elements, the simple and pure white color, and the low-key fashion style construct a delicate and uncluttered space. The bold use of different materials creates a unique custom-made space through the ingenious design, matching and stacking.
- Inspiration
- Instead of superfluous changes in materials, the space features hand-applied paint, natural wood, and mellow stone. All are flooded in natural light. Floor-to-ceiling window offers views of luscious greenery, creating a resort island in the city to get away from the high pressure in the workplace.
- Research
- There are no crowded seats and partitions in order to greatly enhance the comfort of the office and the interaction between colleagues. The reception area is open and combined with continuous floor-to-ceiling windows to add the greenery into the room, dissipating the seriousness of the meeting room and adding a pleasant atmosphere to the space. Visitors can talk about the blueprint of their dreams in the most comfortable ambience.
- Challenge
- There are no solid walls separating spaces the transparent glass partition opens the space up. Through a smooth traffic flow, the fields are redefined for them to better connect with each other. Simple color palette spreads throughout the entire office area. Pure color allows ideas to soar freely.The wooden elements on the facade continue the warmth of the reception area, while the brown veneer injects a soft warmth to soften the stiffness and rigidity of the office.
- Realization and Technology
- Steel brushed veneer, imitate slate texture board, imported floor tiles, metal, non-toxic coating and laminate hard plastic sheet.
- Operation and Interaction
- The iron surface and veneer form a reception desk, and the floating light below erases the heaviness of the volume. The hand-painted wall in a grayscale base allows the mind to gradually settle into restfulness. With the extension of the reception desk, the lower level is expanded into a TV wall in a longue area. The main wall is based in ink color, and the transition of dark and light colors creates rich layers. The lounge area starts with floor in a grayscale tone and extends horizontally after climbing the facade to an ink-colored display cabinet, which not only mirrors the TV wall but also creates a balance of tension with the white storage cabinets hanging above.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project finished in May 2020 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
- Specifications
- In the space of 100 m², there are counter, meeting area, reception area, working, working space and tea room.
