The design theme of the sub-floor is "a cruise ship sailing on the ocean. The main colors of the space are blue and white, a refreshing change from the main floor.
Research: The sub-floor, designed to resemble a cruise ship sailing on the open sea, is a conference room with a blue and white color scheme that contrasts with the main floor.
