The layout includes a reception and display area, a conference room, private offices, an open workspace, two phone booths and a capsule bed. Switchable glass partitions separate communal and work zones, allowing openness or instant privacy. Curved forms and a milky-brown palette with textured paint finishes create a warm setting. A smart lighting system adjusts color and brightness, while a translucent ceiling membrane in the meeting room diffuses daylight.

- Production Technology
- The project emphasizes a harmonious blend of natural warmth and comfort. A milky-brown palette flows throughout, with textured paint finishes adding refinement. Flooring pairs large imported tiles with woven rugs, layering depth through contrast. A smart lighting system enables adjustable color and brightness, creating optimal settings for different needs. In the meeting room, a translucent ceiling membrane ensures accurate material and color presentation under natural light, enhancing both precision and visual comfort.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was ensuring that natural light evenly illuminated every corner of the elongated space. Through meticulous spatial arrangement and material choices, the designer skillfully directed light from the balcony into the interior. At the same time, it was needed to balance spatial openness with the privacy requirements of different areas. The designer expertly addressed sound isolation between communal and private office areas while maintaining an unobstructed flow and ample natural lighting.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in September 2024 in Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- Visitors were impressed by the space's refined elegance, praising it as a high-end office designed with employee well-being in mind. Artwork and artistic decor in the communal areas create a refreshing contrast to the formality of typical meeting spaces. Employees find the design both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional, particularly appreciating the capsule bed and phone booths, which significantly enhance productivity. The lighting and material choices foster a relaxed atmosphere, while the open layout encourages communication and collaboration among team members.
- Research
- In the design industry, people are the core, and space is the cradle of creativity. This 231.4 m2 office embodies 'harmony' and 'collaboration,' offering areas for both independent thought and shared dialogue. Communal and work zones are arranged to let connections flow naturally, fostering comfort and creativity. Light is central: carefully planned daylight and adjustable schemes reduce strain, boost productivity, and spark inspiration. Each workspace thus supports focus, innovation, and overall performance.
- Inspiration
- Rooted in the concept of 'harmonious' and 'collaborative' space, aiming to create a venue that is both independent and open for work and interaction. The designer, who is also a user of the space, has years of experience in the design industry and understands the dual needs of privacy for creative thought and comfortable open areas to facilitate inspiration and idea exchange among individuals. The layout, complemented by greenery, glass partitions, and premium furnishings, strikes a balance between private and communal needs, crafting an office that supports both focused work and collaborative engagement.
