About Yhdq Design Te Hoahoa o Roto mō te Tari Matua

He hoahoa o roto a Yhdq Design mō tētahi tari matua, e 1500 mita pūrua te rahi, kei Chongqing, Haina. Ka honoa e te wāhi nei te tari mahi me tētahi whare toi. Ka whakaataria e te tuanui kōnukuwaro whakakanapa-whakaata kāore he honotanga te āhua o te tāone e karapoti ana, ā, ka kawea mai te tirohanga tāone ki roto. Ka huri ngā pātū kōpiko i runga i ngā ara huna, kia tere, kia ngū hoki te whakarite anō i ngā wāhi. Ka whakatikaina e tētahi pūnaha rama ka taea te whakahōtaka te wairua o te wāhi mō ngā whakamahinga rerekē. Ka honoa te kōhatu travertine mahana me te wōnati o Amerika ki te sima moroiti me te karaihe kupenga waea. Ka whakaarohia ngā mahi toi korikori hei wāhanga o te hoahoanga.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: This space defies categorization as a mere office. It is a permanent yet mutable gallery where a seamless mirrored ceiling performs its visual act: marrying the interior with Chongqing's urban panorama. Here, functional architecture, like rotating walls, and central kinetic artworks are inseparable, collectively forming a living ecosystem dedicated to the ritual of creation.
Dimensions & Packaging: 1500 square meters
Tags: Art-Driven Design, Immersive Experience, Mirrored Architecture, Brand Embassy, Adaptive Space, Kinetic Art, Urban Integration, Spatial Narrative, Hybrid Craftsmanship, Future Workplace
Production Technology: Spatial Illusion: A custom-engineered, seamless mirror-polished stainless steel ceiling system creates a perfect, distortion-free reflection of the cityscape.

Light Choreography: A programmable DMX lighting system sculpts space and orchestrates mood shifts for different scenarios.

Adaptive Architecture: Heavy-duty concealed tracks and 360-degree rotating curved partitions enable silent, rapid spatial reconfiguration.

Hybrid Art Fabrication: Key artworks were realized in-house, fusing traditional handcraftsmanship (metal forging, bamboo weaving) with precision digital fabrication (CNC machining).

Material Palette: A tactile dialogue between warm, natural materials (Travertine, American walnut) and industrial, textured surfaces (micro-cement, wire mesh glass).
Design Challenge: Challenge 1: Merging an avant-garde "art scene" concept with daily operational needs. Solution: Strategic zoning and multifunctional, transformable elements that hide practicality within artful forms.

Challenge 2: Executing highly complex, cross-disciplinary fabrication (architecture, fine art, digital tech). Solution: Leveraging the brand's unique in-house vertical integration of design, art studio, and fabrication workshop for flawless execution.

Challenge 3: Translating the specific spirit of Chongqing into a universally compelling design. Solution: Abstracting the city's essence into atmospheric qualities - light, reflection, texture - rather than using literal cultural symbols.
Research: This project serves as applied research into using art as the central operational framework for a corporate environment. It proves that a deeply artistic, narrative-based space can powerfully strengthen brand identity, stimulate higher creativity, and foster a stronger sense of community. It establishes a new paradigm where the workplace itself is a curated, inspirational asset.
Inspiration: The design is triply inspired. First, by Brand Ontology: physically manifesting YHDQ Design's unique evolution from art gallery to holistic design maker in the space. Second, by Urban Context: abstracting Chongqing's cyberpunk energy, mountainous layers, and misty river light into spatial drama and material texture. Third, by the Future of Work: creating a magnetic destination that attracts talent through inspirational culture and emotional resonance, transcending transactional efficiency.
Project Duration: The project is located in Chongqing, China, and was completed and officially put into operation in October 2024.
Operation Flow: Interaction occurs on two levels. Physically: Users actively engage by operating the symbolic rotating door, rearranging modular furniture, and moving through corridors where programmed light alters perception. Perceptually: The mirrored ceiling immerses visitors in an ever-changing art piece that includes them and the city. The responsive environment and thought-provoking artworks foster continuous intellectual and emotional engagement.
