- Production Technology
- With regard to construction materials, the light colors of materials, except for the color of green building materials, protects eyes from long hours at work. The high-end plastic carpets decorated at the conference area effectively reduce floor noise and dust mites, thus making the floor cleaning easier. The office furnished with the advanced heat exchanger filtering out PM2.5 particles ensures a better air quality for everyone.
- Design Challenge
- The layouts divide the indoor space into the front, middle and rear areas composed the conference area, reading area, and work booths, all of which increase productivity for employees who need to work alone and suitably creates a collaborative space for conference.
- Research
- When the design project began, considering the needs for proper storage for numerous books and the previous building as an open warehouse whose layout was humdrum and unsettling, the designer therefore deliberately constructed the book walls as a lead role in the design plan, thus satisfying the storage need and is adjustable for a greater number of books in the future.
- Inspiration
- The natural elements regularly applied in the office design remind everyone in the office that people should have symbiotic and sustainable relationship with nature. As design workers, we want to share with our clients the concepts caring for nature, loving nature, and protecting nature.
- Project Duration
- The project finished on the 26th of October 2017 and locates in Taichung City, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- The outdoor space elaborately designed is an accordant part of the community park. The big floor-to-ceiling windows harmonize the natural views and the working environment, where immersed with the atmosphere of knowledge shows the humility and passion for design. Additionally, the office furnished with new equipment sustains the healthy and comfy quality of life, which impresses the visiting clients as well.
