RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The conference room on the fourth floor is for receiving clients, and the core is calmness. To preserve the spaciousness, the floor, and ceiling colors are changed, and half-height cabinets serve as the boundary of each area to define the theme. The fifth floor is the staff office, which is planned with the concepts of freedom, freshness, and openness. The circle shape is the symbol of corporate strength, which is aesthetically pleasing and conveys the idea of unity. The flooring is divided into areas by curved cuts, and the geometric shapes show the roundness effect.
CHALLENGE: The greatest challenge was the communication with all parties. Although the owner gave the designer a lot of creative flexibility, it was also a difficult challenge. Both parties communicated with each other based on different imaginations and logic. However, since the owner had many ideas and uncertainty about the function of the space, it took a lot of effort and time to integrate the design team's planning with the owner's ideas. In the end, through close communication, the design team was able to shape a brand-new office.
