As for business areas such as offices and conference rooms, in addition to maintaining moderate privacy, it also focuses on natural lighting and space transparency to create a humanized and comfortable office environment.
Dimensions & Packaging: Through the use of flow pattern and the glass compartments, the overall space is spacious and well-lighted whether it has an external window or not; the top lighting frame is matched with the diamond-shaped grid to modify the open pipeline in the ceiling.

Production Technology: Based on the spirit of establishing a friendly environment, the interior decoration adopts a subtractive design such as maintaining the original fire-resistant cladding the exposed steel beam structure, and furnishing with exposed grids and a diamond-shaped grids; in addition, making use of lightweight decoration like polished concrete floor and fiber recycled materials such as mud boards and yellow cypress wood composite materials so as to let the whole space show a simple and rustic ambience.
Design Challenge: Due to the combination of the office and the restaurant, the flow patterns, sound insulation and odor must not interfere with each other, which is relatively rare in the space design. Therefore, the design team has first anchored the restaurant and kitchen area, and then started the movement planning according to this, with a self-developed APP , Scan QR code to separate access control for shared space and business area. In order to avoid sound interference in the business area, the construction specifications of the soundproof wall has raised to the level of the recording studio.
Research: In the spirit of "where the stars gather", the star-shaped radial light strips at the entrance has created an boundless visual sense. The interior contains an open space that combines offices and a shared dining area with a 270-degree window view and a bar which serves light meals. People can find inspiration through changing spots; and there are event exhibition equipments and merchandise display areas which bring more business possibilities.
Inspiration: The design concept of this case is "parallel integration, vertical sharing", which not only provides convenient dining choice for office workers in the building, but also does not want the space to be idle during non-dining hours so that it has combined office area and food court together. Starting from "where the stars gather", the corridor at the entrance is presented in the form of "starlight corridor", through the white wall and the star-shaped radial extension of the light strip, creating an boundless visual sense.
Project Duration: The project finished in July 2019 in Taichung City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The design team introduced the beautiful scenery from high altitude into the room through a large area of windows, giving the space a new definition. In here, people can switch working positions at any time, such as choosing a window-facing area where they can sit and rest and also bath in warm sunlight; they can also move to the corner and enjoy the 270-degree mountain and metropolitan landscape or to the FREE BAR snack area and business gift box area , replenishing energy and browsing a various commodities.
