Unique Properties

The design is based on three large curves to create the layout. Instead of traditional vertical partitions, the designer kept the space as open as possible to create natural circulation. This design gives the foyer, meeting room, and office areas a unique ambiance and emphasizes flexibility and mobility.

Production Technology

The interior facades are covered with a special paint that replaces the standard white walls. Six gradations of colors are applied according to the color ratio to create a warm and calm atmosphere. The floors are covered with high-quality, abrasion- and scratch-resistant stone plastic composite, whose warm wood grain is pleasing to the eye. The aesthetically fluid slant pattern enhances the space's extensibility and infinite possibilities and is oriented in the same direction as the planted patio.

Design Challenge

The challenge was to fulfill a variety of needs such as events, lectures, exercises, etc. in a limited space. The project required a large event space and a movable, functional kitchen island.

The curved wall separates different states: working, meditating, relaxing, reading, etc., while also allowing for possible expansion in the future.

Inspiration

The office is in a shophouse. Its long side is about 7 meters, while the short side has many dark corners due to lighting.
