Design Details

Unique Properties
Inside the reception foyer, there are two eye-catching cylindrical structures, which respectively function as waiting area and reading area. Featuring white exteriors and red interior finishes, the volumes take on a futuristic and stylish form. Embedded ceiling lights flexibly run throughout the space in accordance with the circulation and spatial structures. The simplistic furnishings and furniture as well as green plants make the founding partners' room comfortable and tasteful.
Inspiration
Color palette plays a prominent role in the design, functioning as the clue that indicates the transition of different areas. White is the prominent tone, which dominates different volumes in different scenes; dynamic red hue enlivens the spaces and creates dramatic visual effects; and the rest hues such as pink are used to coordinate the ambience. The combination of different colors contributes to shape the overall spatial form.
Research
Different from traditional companies, the client is an electronic business firm, which requires greater flexibility with few fixed work stations. Considering this, the design team didn't adopt conventional cubicles, but instead created several independent functional areas, which can constitute a large holistic gathering space when combined together. At the same time, the team utilized red, white and pink tones to form a multi-layered workspace based on the color theory of Le Corbusier.
Challenge
Different from traditional companies, the client is an electronic business firm, which requires greater flexibility with few fixed work stations.
Realization and Technology
Materials: Bolon floor, Milliken carpet, Kvadrat cloth
Operation and Interaction
This is an open, free and artistic workspace, which enables the employees to find appropriate working environment at anytime.
