Project Brief

With the design of eliminating closed partitions, the open and smooth emotional circulation guides in the sunlight and natural greenness from outdoor, thereby accomplishing the spatial sentiment fused with nature. Moreover, indoor illuminations are collected to allow the light source to undertake the outdoor sunlight, apparently improving the existing gloomy and closed impressions of traditional offices.

The entire space allowed the new and the old to form a strong contrast and conflict via iron piece and glass, thereby stimulating extraordinary spatial resplendence; exquisite design ideas are put into the modern style, eliminating sophistication with simplicity to create a bright, spacious and elevated space, while the use of different materials, the sense of transparency under the variation of lights and shadows as well as the virtual spatial volume stack to form the sensual spatial new looks.

Project Need

Eliminating excessive resplendent decorations and spatial arrangement, adopting a large area of clean white foundation with the combination of glass and iron piece to create the simplified and open visual effects; the element of LED light strips is further added to segment space via the light sources. Moreover, a spiral staircase is further designed within the space as a connection between the top and the bottom offices, and it is a significant highlight within the domain, acting as an installation art that stands tall here.

Design Challenge

What is worth mentioning is the design of the spiral staircase within the space adopted an arc elegant line to balance the masculinity of the space, where the application of steel panel and arc-shaped glass simplified the volume of the staircase; as for the positioning of the staircase, a location nearby the balcony has been chosen to gently correspond with the landscapes.
