Design is a language. We use it to describe what we see and what we think.If you had to spend a third of your time staying in an office building every day, the design must not be ordinary.
The interior design of an office has been regarded as the key to boosting staffs’ working efficiency and preparing the mood for their work, but the design of the office building is often less recognised. When you are on the way to work and your sight is caught by the office building, a subtle change happens in your mind. You would start to switch to the work mode and get ready to be at the office space.
For the users of this office building, we want to create for them a sense of arrival, a distinctive sense of place, and a sense of belonging. It will have a unique character that resonates with the hearts of the users. Designs would become ordinary if we merely target ourselves to construct a luxurious place and to fulfill functions. You would not wish to take an indistinguishable hotel room as your home, and for the same reason, we worked on special features of the building.
We utilized the lights of the entrance lobby: By using smart lighting systems, the atmosphere of the lobby changes over different times of the day to honour the different moods of the users. In the morning, a fusion of natural and artificial lightings is orchestrated with the natural marble surface to construct a bright and refreshing atmosphere, marking the beginning of a workday. While in the evening, as people leave work, the entire lobby will be dimmed into a softly-lit warm atmosphere. It is a "place" to calm their busy mind and say goodbye to their co-workers.
The typical lift lobbies are distinguishable but at the same time, harmonious. Although each lift lobby has the same layout, by composing a unique pattern with the same marble for each floor, each pattern has become an exclusive fingerprint that only belongs to its floor. Users can recognize their floors once the lift doors open; the design creates a sense of belonging for them.Design is a language. We use it to describe what we see and what we think.
