Design Details

Unique Properties
The project is located in Hangzhou Jingwei International Creative Industry Park. The original textile machinery factory as an industrial heritage can retain and transform the creative park. The main body of this case is the office space of Wuxing Youxing Design Studio. The designers follow the consistent way of restraint and balance, present with transparent, pure and delicate vision, and complete unrestrained and frank, concise and neat expression of spatial emotions.
Inspiration
In terms of spatial planning, they pursue the sense of scale brought by large space, reserve hollow space by using the advantage of storey height. The suspended conference room and the sinking book bar use the staggered floor space structure to distinguish the functions, and the three floors are integrated and relatively independent through the continuous up and down response of the stairs.
Research
This case is located in the westernmost part of the park. Outside the enclosure of the park is the abandoned railway track in the north section of Hangzhou city. I saw the train passing by occasionally. Landscape plants can not only purify the air, add a touch of jumping vitality to the interior, but also improve the texture of the space, so that the impetuous heart tends to calm.
Challenge
The open kitchen restaurant is comfortable and simple, cold but not cold. Exquisite details play a role of more than less, more than simple. The partition door adopts a sliding design, so as to open or hide the workspace according to the demand. It not only adheres to the needs of the company's overall operation, but also creates different visual feelings in different functional spaces, creating the most convenient and comfortable environment for employees to improve work efficiency.
Realization and Technology
This case not only broadens the space by emphasizing the external vision, but also uses a large area of transparent glass to form a visual connection, so that the original narrow space becomes bright, spacious and full of texture.
Operation and Interaction
The top floor uses the mobile skylight to guide the scenery into the room, extending the sense of hierarchy of the space longitudinally.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in May 2018 in Hangzhou and finished in July 2018 in Hangzhou.
Specifications
The project covers a total of 680 square meters. From overall planning to detail control, designers use a modern perspective to turn space into a carrier of functionality and artistry, and establish the harmony and warmth of space in the comparison between hardness and softness, cold and warm.
