Office for WARP WEFT DESIGN
Although the original contours of the building define the shape of the space, different forms of division endow the space with multiple possibilities at different times, overlapping functional slices magnify the small to dissolve the limitations of limited space usage. Therefore, the design revolves around autonomy and flexibility in work to develop the layout, integrating diverse office scene modes, blurring the boundaries between work, discussion, and leisure, releasing the potential of space in a dynamically flowing form.

Production Technology
The open and serene space opts for the raw texture of fair-faced concrete in response to the lively facade crafted by Renzo Piano for Tianmuli, capturing fleeting pleasure, while in interior landscaping and furniture color, attempting to inject natural delight with relaxed strokes, resonating with the emotions of the space users, bringing a sense of breath to the entire room.
Design Challenge
Each designer's personal domain conceals the codes of their aesthetic preferences and spiritual world, and behind this "serendipity" should be an introspective, self-growing field, the scene, with subtle changes in use, affects the perception of every space experiencer.
Project Duration
The project started in August 2022 in Hangzhou and finished in September 2023 in Hangzhou.
Operation Flow
Through the rotation of the movable wall, the design ingeniously combines the firm's scrolling identity with the opening of the spatial portal, the different densities on each side, between the functional closing and opening, the rotation of the doors opens up a tranquil narrative of space.
Research
Through the rich connotations of CHEN YUN, the designer condenses past design reflections and nuanced observations of the spiritual world into the warm yet avant-garde top floor of Tianmuli, within a hundred square meters of space, with creative products and various ways of life capture, providing creative teams with an alternative solution for interpreting work, life, and ways of thinking.
Inspiration
Business owners' needs for the flexibility and legibility of office environments, Are transitioning from large and comprehensive to small and exquisite. And designers, as creators of aesthetic value and experiential settings, based on their personal expectations for their own office living environment, and the flexible nature of creative work, explore complex living spaces that match their habits and patterns, beyond functional aesthetics.
