In the project, traditional offices spatial relations are broken up, reconfigured and reassembled, only to meet the new needs for new breeds of office spaces. Embedded in a dense neighborhood of commercial buildings, this office, dotted with trees and bamboos, looks like an oasis in a desert.

On the one hand, the “bamboo area” on the side of the entrance, the cantilevered public rest area and the sofa, coffee table, bar and French windows, all of these give guests the feeling of being home; on the other hand, the independent office area on the ground floor is hidden behind the plants, which provides refreshing interior landscapes. The meeting room is in the innermost part, a place with a tint of a sweet home rather than a stressful and indifferent office.

The combination of transparent glass panels and white wall not only enhances the illumination, but also creates various layers of space. The “bridge” on the upper floor provides a focus of perspective, it also forms another “secret garden” besides the bamboos on the ground floor. The upper floor is accessed through delicate, slim stairs, where an unique spatial dialogue of concrete, wood and metal. The playful combination of the bar and the stair is also symbolic of the combination of home and office.
