Production Technology

The poetry behind our working space was aimed at combine "individual and independent thinking" with "collective and cooperation creating" for the design of our office. The flow and atmosphere needed to embody the mindset and culture of the company-Just For The Future. Open office design promotes space interaction, improves work efficiency, and aims to create a creative space with the organic integration of work and living environment.

Design Challenge

The project’s challenges include these following aspects: choose refractive materials on team’s own，lighting and supplementary lighting design, quality control and high completion of hot bending glass, optimization of a large number of smooth curves, process of space capsule structure and ceiling, suspended conference hall and telephone room design and treatment, hidden light strips design, breath lamp and color changing lamp program and control, and electric privacy glass process, etc.

Project Duration

From 2020-9 to 2020-12 Shanghai

Operation Flow

Architects divide the entrance and exit space separately. The main public area of the office is built with "living atmosphere space", which can effectively increase the communication and interaction among employees and become the client reception area. Half of the interior space is used as the public area, and the other half is designed as the working area, so that the employees can have independent design space and other ancillary functional areas better.

Research

From beginning, the design emphasizes to stimulate the design perception and creativity of employees via a good working environment. The team worked by themselves throughout the whole process from initial site selection, design, site control and soft decoration. The space capsule theme is presented to show the company's determination and strength to create a better future with a variety of mobile high-tech elements. It also aims to attract more talents to contribute to the society.

Inspiration

The idea behind the office aimed at combining "individual and independent thinking" with "collective and cooperation creating". To create the design quality for the future, the design is based on vitality, mobility, and high-tech elements. Light and shadow give space different visual characteristics. Key elements also include smooth curves, hot bending glass, and creative design between arcs to organically connect the structure and ceiling to create the feeling of future space capsule.
