Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The designer use yin and yang to enclose the property with circular arc to divide the whole space into two major areas, four components, and completed the basic spatial planning. In the empty box of the original structure, a cloudlike structure composed of blocks and planes is inserted, and then supplement it with a series of furniture to complete the spatial form.
- Inspiration
- The design cuts in from the basic functions, precise layout, and subdivides the regions in a subtle way to generate series connections; the progressive combination of block and plane elements at different levels release infinite tension. The sharp collision of red and white also stimulates a unique artistic feeling...
- Research
- Most users of the space rely on mobile phones to do their daily task. Therefore, in the four parts of the working space, we chose to arrange it in a compact manner, and the streamlined work stations with narrower widths are more convenient for communication and mutual assistance. This concept has greatly improved the utilization rate and working efficiency of the space.In addition to the ingenuity of the station setting, the design also uses facial recognition access control system according to the characteristics of technological experience that the enterprise has been emphasizing.
- Challenge
- At the beginning of the project, the structural columns that support the perfect shape of the architecture with a length of two meters are scattered indoors, which brings great challenges to the interior design. These columns damage the integrity of the space at a certain degree, so in the meantime, it is necessary to evade them, or make them "disappear" in the view and naturally blend into the interior design.
- Realization and Technology
- Steel frame, carpet, tempered glass, latex paint
- Operation and Interaction
- Designer made the whole space more widely adaptable and in line with the functional positioning of the department with artistic and practical design techniques, seeking individuality from rationality and expressing spirit in stability, meanwhile, using deconstructive techniques and elemental geometric relations to divide the space into large blocks. So as to giving the space a stronger directionality Modern technology-based smart office.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in October 2018 in Nanjing and finished in April 2019 in Nanjing
