About Studio with Mirror Bridge Studio
Studio with Mirror Bridge is an office interior created for a design studio in a ground-floor flat in a 1990s residential neighborhood. The original layout was linear and dark, with one small patio. A twisted vortex of mirror polished stainless steel connects the north and south sides and improves lighting, ventilation and scale. The reflective surface spreads daylight through the interior. The vortex narrows in the lounge area and ends as a curved bar. The form also blocks direct views from the entrance to the work area.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The twisted mirror polished stainless steel vortex connects the north and south, solving the lighting, ventilation and scale problems in one single step. The vortex gradually shrinks in the lounge area and form the fishtail bar in the end, which not only realizes the function but also avoids direct sight from the entrance to the workplace.
- Inspiration
- The original flat had a linear layout with one dark little patio. Poor lighting and cramped space made it difficult to work as a design studio. Mirror bridge brings both lightness and vitality into the once dark and narrow flat, invoking a feeling of dream and fantasy. The twisted metal surface allows the light to be reflected multiple times indoors, increasing the illumination as well as creating a magic time-tunnel experience. The renovation made significant improvements in lighting, ventilation, and sight.
- Research
- A ground-floor flat in 90s residential neighborhood was transformed to a modern and contemporary office. Different from the traditional obstructive scenery, the material and curvature of the silvery vortex make it reflect the extraordinary dimensionality of the surrounding space, both modern and magic. The installation appears as a strategic arrangement to activate the entire indoor space. In this case, it is natural to connect the meeting room with kitchen and courtyard. If we compare the mirror polished stainless steel bridge to a magic belt, then the circular storage space may be the logic belt that integrate many practical functions.
- Challenge
- We use the tension of its shape to reduce the difficluty of fuction bu a serials of parametrization.
- Realization and Technology
- The twisted mirror bridege is made by polished stainless steel. A series of structure studies optimized the construction logic of the stainless steel itself. The form of the ground-supported portion and the tension of its shape partially reduced the difficulty of construction.
- Operation and Interaction
- The surrounding scenery is incorporated into the magic belt and flows into the interior along its surface.
