Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This project focuses on renovating the corporate chairman's office, aiming to create a multifunctional composite space that reflects the company's spirit and functional needs. The main functions include: a. Office work, b. Reception, c. Meetings, d. Tea drinking, e. Collection display, f. Resting, g. Fish keeping.
- Inspiration
- Concept: Unbounded Aiming to break away from the dullness of traditional enclosed offices, this project seeks to create an open, multifunctional, integrated new office space. Utilizing modern materials such as mirrors and stainless steel to expand and infinitely extend the space, it maintains the maximum blending and continuity of the space, creating a free, "Unbounded" environment. Functional bars define the movement flow within the space.
- Research
- The office creates a flexible, personalized experience for individuals and their surroundings. The space tells a purposeful story, reflecting the company's spirit and culture, crafting a unique experience while respecting and enhancing their environment. Open spaces foster a closer collaborative environment, strengthen a shared culture, promote innovation, and attract top talent.
- Challenge
- Creative Research: Developing an open, multifunctional, integrated new office space. Solution: Implementing the "boundary-less" concept to transcend traditional office limitations, using modern materials like mirrors and stainless steel to enhance spatial perception and visibility, creating an open and fluid work environment. This design not only makes the space appear larger but also facilitates interaction and communication among people.
- Realization and Technology
- Choosing modern materials like mirrors and stainless steel for their contemporary look and durability, as well as their reflective and translucency properties, enhances the openness and transparency of the space. The use of such materials visually extends the space infinitely, strengthening its continuity and fluidity.
- Operation and Interaction
- Imagine working in an environment without fixed walls, open and free. The space, crafted from mirrors and stainless steel, is not only bright and modern but also fosters creativity and communication. Activity areas blend seamlessly, facilitating smooth transitions from work to meetings to relaxation. In this open and flexible setting, free movement and interaction spark innovation.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project was designed in Shanghai, China, in July 2023 and completed in Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, in January 2024.
- Specifications
- The design defines spatial areas through ceiling materials and functional bars, discarding fixed partitions to maintain openness while providing privacy. Translucent materials and semi-transparent partitions create a soft visual effect, enhancing the space's artistic quality and depth.
