Spaces Shanghai Tower

On the twenty-ninth floor of the tallest skyscraper in Asia, FVA designed a new SPACES’ Coworking space with 2292 square meters.

Spaces is a multinational corporation that provides a global workplace with a creative atmosphere where people can work and meet with clients. Spaces aims to inspire workers with its beautifully designed areas and kindle their entrepreneurial spirit. With a hundred different companies operating under the SPACES umbrella, the challenge was to create an environment that would appeal to a broad range of tastes while respecting and upholding the individual brand identities.

Shanghai Tower is located in the heart of the bustling Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone. Lujiazui is a well-developed world class financial and commercial hub, representing Shanghai and China’s amazing growth in economy and city development.

The SPACES office occupies a circular space, the project was imagined as “a space breathes with nature” by using the dominating colors that are associated with the four seasons: green spring, red summer, yellow autumn, beige winter.

Shanghai is a multi-cultural metropolis with both modern and traditional Chinese features. With the idea of bringing the image of Shanghai into the project, the design of the space is a contemporary take on traditional Chinese architecture, creating a unique and authentic design experience.

We used pendant lights as the highlight element leading through all the area. Whatever the setting, these pendants are equally stunning when clustered in a group or as a single statement piece. The room was naturally divided without using free-standing walls to reduce the stifled feeling, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance and simplicity.

A list of minimalist office furniture from trusted manufacturers was curated according to the predetermined color palette. Also, we used dimmable pendant lights from Kristalia as the highlight element throughout the space. Whatever the setting, these pendants are equally stunning when clustered in a group or as a single statement piece. The space is divided without using free-standing walls to maintain openess and better light distribution.

All in all, Spaces Shanghai Tower is D8P’s adventurous take on an atmosphere of understated elegance and simplicity.
