Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Breaking away from monotonous traditional offices, the design uses curves and grille elements to mimic data transmission pathways. This creates a visual rhythm that balances transparency and privacy. Glass partitions improve openness while keeping zones clear. A vibrant color palette, drawing from the company yellow logo and complemented by blues, greens and pinks, establishes a memorable identity reflecting young generations expectations for diversity and flexibility.
- Inspiration
- The client, a software company, faced an aging building with low beams. Instead of cold office designs or quiet wood tones, the team reinterpreted the brief through the company core technologies. Linear computation, stacking, and boundary breaking were translated into a spatial vocabulary. By playing with color and fluid circulation, the office becomes a dynamic environment that sparks creativity and fosters interaction.
- Research
- To reflect a culture of flexibility and innovation, the design translates the company identity into a unified spatial system. Abstract computing logic is made tangible through the arrangement of ceiling lighting and floor finishes. Brand colors extend into a wider spatial palette to energize the workplace. The result is an environment that not only enhances operational efficiency but also fosters a sense of belonging and sparks innovative thinking.
- Challenge
- The existing space had low beams and tangled utilities, so a conventional flat ceiling was avoided to prevent compression. The design preserved height while using form and lighting to add depth. Additionally, the S shaped steel grille required precise computational planning to address curvature and structural alignment. Each metal fin was positioned with exact spacing to create a flowing, lightweight appearance rather than visual clutter.
- Realization and Technology
- To address low ceilings and exposed utilities, the design opts for an open ceiling with suspended panels. This maintains height and echoes data stacking while refining the mechanical layout. Vertical surfaces incorporate steel grilles and a double sided glass display wall that functions as a partition. The flooring combines multi colored PVC tiles with carpet to subtly define work and lounge areas, eliminating the need for bulky physical barriers.
- Operation and Interaction
- To accommodate 100 employees, the plan adopts ring shaped circulation with dual entrances. High focus work zones are grouped on the lower half, while collaborative areas are on the upper half. On the left, a lounge connects to the office through an S shaped grille divider. This encourages informal conversations and collaboration. Irregular corners are repurposed as storage, and workstations feature built in cabinetry to maintain efficiency.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project was completed in approximately three months, and it is located in Taipei, Taiwan.
- Specifications
- The total floor area of the office project is approximately 774 square meters, which is equivalent to 234 pings.
