Workplace Renovation
Area: 3500 sqm
Status: Complete
Completion: Mar 2023
This office building project for a fashion enterprise is located south of downtown Shanghai and serves as a new office and brand communication center specifically designed for the fashion industry and brand development. It is situated within a cluster of buildings transformed from an industrial park. The building has undergone partial renovations, adjustments, and expansions. The spatial planning and interior design are based on the enterprise’s five-year future plan and the functional value of use. The renovated space needs to accommodate various brand activities and have the flexibility to adapt some of its functions in the future.
The overall functionality of the office building, such as the event space on the first floor (gallery/exhibition hall), can be immediately noticed by visitors from the main entrance plaza and is open to the public, allowing access even to those who are not visiting the exhibition. Besides serving as a communication center for the enterprise, it also functions as a comfortable community space. As you enter the building from the main entrance plaza through the main entrance, you can feel a welcoming public atmosphere. The entrance area is completely open, and passing through the event space leads into a central atrium on the first floor with high ceilings and terrazzo flooring, resembling a small plaza with a roof.
In addition to the first-floor event space (exhibition function), the second to fourth floors house the design department, administrative department, brand planning, and production departments, among others. We have designed looped corridors to connect these departments, facilitating easy interactions between different departments, staff, and visitors. Sometimes, people can stop for interactions in the building’s colonnades or use these small public spaces, and the views from different floors also create another form of communication.
We have similarly designed communication spaces on the fourth floor and the rooftop that cater to order meetings and lectures, hoping this office building will provide a vibrant, interactive, and inspirational venue for the enterprise.
