theDesk UC Strand 50 Bridge 8 és un conjunt de tres interiors de cotreball situats a Hong Kong i Xangai.

L'emplaçament gran a Central ocupa 3.200 metres quadrats en una sola planta, on un espai comú anomenat Central Park dona servei a 450 persones. L'emplaçament mitjà a Xangai s'estén al llarg de dos nivells, i una gran escala esdevé un teatre per a 100 persones. L'emplaçament petit a Hong Kong West s'estén per cinc plantes, amb espais comuns íntims per a petites trobades.

Inspiration: How to keep an identity of a co-working space with any given site of different sizes and configurations?

On the one hand, every location is a white space, giving an identity in appearance.
On the other hand, the mission of the co-working space is to create an inclusive community. Members can leverage the community intelligent through offline events at the Common Space. By carefully shaping of the Common Space, different characters are formed at different sites.

3 specified sites, Large, Medium and Small are chosen to illustrate each unique treatment. The 3 sites together form a trio of spaces.
Project Duration: The L,M,S co-coworking spaces completed between 2019 to 2020 and located respectively at Central of Hong Kong, Bridge 8 of Shanghai and Hong Kong West.
