About Shanghai Bohua Tower 55F Office
Shanghai Bohua Tower 55F is an office interior designed for an investment firm with a hybrid work arrangement. The office gives the staff a home base in Shanghai and offers suitable meeting space for investors and guests. The plan is divided by the lobby into a workstation side and a meeting side. Four long tables that recall library reading tables, together with personal lockers, dominate the work area. Private desks are placed behind wood partitions. The minimal material palette is limited to concrete, travertine and pale oak, and the panels, partitions and cabinetry share one module.

- Inspiration
- Minimal and restrained, the material finish is dominated by pale travertine, concrete, and oak. The wood panels, travertine, and glass partitions and cabinetry share the same dimensional module and provide a consistent spatial and visual rhythm throughout the office. The verticality of the module also recalls classical building proportions to ground the design suitable for a financial company.
