Unique Properties
A space that formerly was predominated by a various of entries and exits has been turned into a warm welcome area. The symmetrical design was changed into a world of networking and cross linking optimizing for accessibility. The building itself is committed to the style of blue modern. The white reception desk picks up this design idea, whilst the gigantic illuminated screen behind is designed to enhance brand images and serves as a starting point of the lively and colorful lounge area.

Production Technology
In order to strength the design with Grandblue DNA in the reception area. we got inspiration from their logo. We have been try to do a 1:1 mock up for the curvy blue ribbon on the ceiling. We need to ensure that all the joint should be smoothly with aluminum material and design the detail to connect to the barrisol smoothly.
Design Challenge
As Grandblue is a stated-owned enterprise in china, they have a very strict design guideline, not only to the space standard but also have the limited material list. We brainstorm with client how to upgrade their branding image, finally we use their one of their business line - water to be our design language. The outcome was very successful and we help them to have a new international image.
Research
We would like to help the staff working in this office like Eden, everyone can feel very relax when came into the reception, take a rest in the blue booth.
Inspiration
Our inspiration is come from ocean, we pick the element from ocean such as waves pattern, diving, tropical fish and boat integrate into our design.
Project Duration
The project started in 2018 in Guangzhou and finished in December 2019.
Operation Flow
We have create a workshop with the senior management and their staff to divide into 8 group to brainstorm what their new office look like, we have sources mood images, doing a model and we got a lot of inspiration from this workshop.
