Headquarters for Kimber Hawson Design Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

This project solves the space shortage of the old building by using large-scale art installations, with a strong sense of visual extension, making the space more integrated, brighter and more expansive. The design elements incorporate traditional Chinese "FengShui" culture, combined with international space design concepts, to combine traditional culture with modern space design, presenting a different modern space and ancient culture blend of new design style. The designer also took into account the rationality of the space layout and adhered to the 5R principle of sustainable design.

Unique Properties

OneSmart International Education, one of the leading Chinese education brands listed on the NYSE, has many branch product lines and brand divisions. The new headquarters, located in an 11-floor old building of the last century in Putuo District, Shanghai, has a total floor area of 12000 square meters. It is able to meet the needs of daily office work, meetings and all kinds of public benefit education activities.

Production Technology

The building entrance area is narrow and separated by the original structural columns into trivial and irregular small spaces. In the light of these defects, the designers splice planks into arc-shaped large space art devices throughout the building, which give the building space a sense of continuity and visual extension, weakening the volume of the original structural columns and maximizing the visual expansion of the sense of space.

Design Challenge

The new headquarters is located in a century-old building in Putuo District, Shanghai. Due to the original building structure and site conditions, the entrance area of the new headquarters only has less than 400 square meters of space, and the interior is scattered with 9 structural columns, cut into smaller, more trivial and irregular spaces.

Project Duration

The project started in December 2019 in Shanghai and finished in May 2020 in Shanghai.

Operation Flow

The overall architectural space adopts the dynamic blue and white tone, supplemented by the warm wood color to create an open, bright and comfortable office and educational environment. The staircase connecting the first floor and the second floor reception area takes the spiral shape, which reduces the visual tightness of the whole space and creates a comfortable and warm welcoming atmosphere.

Research

In order to avoid the sense of visual intimidation upon entering the building, and to be more in line with the spatial design of the new headquarters, the design uses a large spatial installation with a sense of continuity and visual extension to make the columns look smaller and to maximize the sense of space.

Inspiration

The design is based on the traditional Chinese cultural elements, and the reproduction of the design language from the formal language to highlight the national style of the theme. In this design, we take "yearly higher", "auspicious clouds and dragon", "high mountains and flowing water" and "neatly stacked" as the design theme, extracting the elements, combining with the space and complementing each other.
