The Design

About Floating Box Design Interior de Birou

Cutia Plutitoare este un design interior de birou creat pentru o companie de materiale de construcție. Spațiul măsoară 50 de metri pătrați și are o înălțime a plafonului de patru metri. Înălțimea dublă originală este împărțită în două niveluri printr-un mezanin în formă de L. Cabluri de oțel susțin o scară din fier, goală pe interior, și mențin suspendat un birou superior închis în sticlă neagră, creând impresia unei cutii suspendate. Peretele pentru televizor este realizat din beton simplu. Materiale simple precum fierul, lemnul și sticla mențin biroul mic vizual luminos și deschis.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

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

Unique Properties: This project is a building materials office with a size of 50 square meters. The design team divides the upper and lower areas by the advantage of the original double-height space. Steel wire materials are used to support the suspended hollow stairs, and transparent imaginary lines are laid out to define the more secret office space inside and the corridors for external customers to walk. As the outer screen of the TV wall, only the natural cement plain color of the concrete was used during construction to show the pure appearance of the material.
Dimensions & Packaging: In the design technique of the office area on the second floor, besides the use of steel wire and iron to design the concept of "holding up" the office box, it is also matched with lightweight materials such as glass and iron to achieve a visually light suspension. In addition, the mezzanine is L-shaped, retreating layer by layer towards the connection of the hollow staircase. Through the hierarchical technique, the office space on the second floor is prevented from oppressing the office area on the first floor.

Production Technology: The design of this case only uses simple materials for production, including concrete for office TV walls, steel wire and iron, wood, glass, etc. Although the materials are simple, each of them has unique responsibilities and personality in the space. The steel wire suspends the hollow staircase made of iron parts and supports the office of the supervisor covered with black glass, presenting the concept of a lightweight, suspended black box in the space. At the same time, the office TV wall uses concrete as the material.
Design Challenge: Since the supervisor's office and staff's office space must be placed in a narrow space of 15 square meters, the design team took advantage of the double-height of the building space and made good use of the mezzanine to create an upper and lower office space. Although space itself has a ceiling height of 4 meters, beams and pipelines oppress the use of the space. For this reason, the design team avoids beams and pipelines in the design of office seats and changes the area where beams and columns are depressed into a storage volume and functional space.
Research: The design took advantage of the four-meter-high ceiling and used an open technique to design the ceiling. In addition to restoring the original height of the space, double-layer office space is designed with a mezzanine approach. In order to prevent the design of the double-layer office space from causing movement and visual oppression, the design team used steel wire cantilevered hollow stairs to create a penetrating visual "imaginary" surface, using the stairs as an intermediary.
Inspiration: The design team uses steel wire, wood, iron, and other lightweight materials to make the space, and uses steel wire to support the hollow staircase to shape the perspective vision of the imaginary surface and use the imaginary surface. The public and private areas of the office and aisles are defined horizontally, and the supervisor's office and the employee's office with black glass as the medium are divided vertically.
Project Duration: The project was completed in November 2020 in Taoyuan City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: In order to make the double-story office with plenty of spaces and volumes not fall into a heavy and narrow space visually, the design team only uses simple materials such as concrete, iron parts, and wooden work to design the space. At the same time, steel wires and hollow stairs are used to create an "imaginary" surface, which implicitly defines the internal and external spaces. The upper-level supervisor office area uses an L-shaped inward retreat method to reduce the sense of oppression in the office area on the first floor.
