Design Details

Unique Properties
As the interior designer’s office, design focuses on the flow of air, the introduction of natural plants, best use of light, and application of ergonomics of office furniture and environmental friendly materials.

Partially digging creates a furnace-like sharing experience in the sinking area. The biggest challenge is the process of choosing between functions, which is a coexist and win-win combination of multiple business forms.
