Categories : Commercial Space / Commercial Space ≤ 1,600 sq.ft. (≤ 150 sq.m.) : Gold Certification
This is a tall, multifunctional reception and office space without strict boundaries. The main functional requirement of the project is how to create rich scenes and proper functional divisions in a limitedspace. Based on the user’s needs, the design constucts an areas for negotiation, including functional areas for signing contract, dining, tea stasting, working, etc. Additionally how to integrate cultural attributes into a modern spacewhile minimizing commercial attributes is our design vision.
We blended paper, tea sets, display cabinets, bamboo curtains, gourd-shaped carpets, traditional Chinese gold bricks and candlelight-like light color temperature throughout the entire space to create a new oriental aesthetic atomosphereand a more spiritual and personalized space. Combining the tea table and the signing table, the staggered blocks create a sense of area. Behind the long table is a reusable box-type display cabinet, which echoes the large cabinet at the end of the space and extends continuously to maintain the harmony between the shape and meaning of the space. Consistency and scale contrast also make the space more rhythmic. The sofa area, the dining area and the tea tasting area are connected by the carpet, so that the functional divisions separated by the moving lines has an integral character. In addition, the curled ceiling that imitates the shape of paper seems to be talking. All of which imply the sincerity of business cooperation . The encompassing overhanging space forms an important part of the spatial composition and the main visual focal point, bringing a richer expression of form and extension to the interior space.
All furniture and accessories are carefully arranged, such as a flower vessel, a cluster of green plants, and a sofa, in order to interact with people emotionally, which is also the expression of “existence” in “emptiness”. We are not obsessed with any style, we believe that style is the designer’s huge “enemy”, we care more about the emotions conveyed by this space and whether it will resonate with people. In view of the above, we hope that each space not only has pictures and forms, but also creates a story of the space and what can the space bring to people?
The brand commonality and identity of the space is what we care about. We will look for a new balance point in the space, such as the orange lounge chair from BoConcept in the space. The use of it in the space stems from our expression of the characteristics of the space. The extension of local colors can burst out more sparks And unique space mood atmosphere. Compared with the current variety of decorative materials, we prefer natural and authentic materials, because unmodified materials can better communicate with people in the heart and have a resonance of returning to the “original place”. We use the texture material of traditional Chinese clay mixed with straw to express the vigorous natural vitality, just like the design and space that have been baptized and precipitated by time. We believe that design is both forward-looking and regressive. Therefore, these two terms are also the direction of our balance.
