About Yhdq Design Uyilo Lwangaphakathi Lwekomkhulu
I-Yhdq Design luyilo lwangaphakathi lwekomkhulu olungama-1500 eesikwele mitha olusePhongqing (Chongqing), eTshayina. Esi sithuba sidibanisa iofisi yokusebenza kunye negalari. Uphahla lwesinyithi esingadleliyo esipolishwe njengesipili esingenamdibaniso lubonakalisa imbonakalo yesixeko esingqongileyo kwaye luzisa umbono wedolophu ngaphakathi. Izahlulo ezigobileyo zijikeleza kwiindlela ezifihliweyo, ngoko iindawo zinokulungiswa kwakhona ngokukhawuleza nangokuzolileyo. Inkqubo yokukhanyisa enokucwangciswa ilungisa imeko-bume yeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokusebenzisa. I-travertine efudumeleyo kunye ne-walnut yaseMelika zidityaniswa ne-micro-cement kunye neglasi enocingo. Imisebenzi yobugcisa eshukumayo iphathwa njengenxalenye yolwakhiwo.

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

- 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.
