About OneSmart International Education Ynterieurûntwerp fan haadkantoar

OneSmart International Education is it haadkantoarynterieur fan in Sineesk ûnderwiismerk yn it Putuo-distrikt fan Shanghai. It ynterieur beslacht in gebou fan alve ferdjippingen út de foarige ieu en hat in oerflakte fan 12000 fjouwerkante meter. De romte stipet deistich kantoarwurk, gearkomsten en publyklike ûnderwiisaktiviteiten. Bôge-ynstallaasjes makke fan gearbrochte planken rinne troch it gebou hinne en ferminderje it fisuele gewicht fan de struktuerele kolommen yn it smelle yngongsgebiet. Blauwe en wite tinten wurde kombinearre mei waarme houtkleuren. In spiraaltrep ferbynt de resepsjeromten op de earste en twadde ferdjipping.

Production Technology
The building entrance area is narrow and separated by the original structural columns into trivial and irregular small spaces. In the light of these defects, the designers splice planks into arc-shaped large space art devices throughout the building, which give the building space a sense of continuity and visual extension, weakening the volume of the original structural columns and maximizing the visual expansion of the sense of space.
Design Challenge
The new headquarters is located in a century-old building in Putuo District, Shanghai. Due to the original building structure and site conditions, the entrance area of the new headquarters only has less than 400 square meters of space, and the interior is scattered with 9 structural columns, cut into smaller, more trivial and irregular spaces.
Research
In order to avoid the sense of visual intimidation upon entering the building, and to be more in line with the spatial design of the new headquarters, the design uses a large spatial installation with a sense of continuity and visual extension to make the columns look smaller and to maximize the sense of space.
Inspiration
The design is based on the traditional Chinese cultural elements, and the reproduction of the design language from the formal language to highlight the national style of the theme.

In this design, we take "yearly higher", "auspicious clouds and dragon", "high mountains and flowing water" and "neatly stacked" as the design theme, extracting the elements, combining with the space and complementing each other.
Project Duration
The project started in December 2019 in Shanghai and finished in May 2020 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow
The overall architectural space adopts the dynamic blue and white tone, supplemented by the warm wood color to create an open, bright and comfortable office and educational environment. The staircase connecting the first floor and the second floor reception area takes the spiral shape, which reduces the visual tightness of the whole space and creates a comfortable and warm welcoming atmosphere.
