This is a very unique business focuses on locating problems of the underground utilities in the Civil and Building Industry, and we hope the interior design can reflect their company’s mission, in a more subtle manner, that is: to help their clients to solve problems by providing creative solutions on.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The whole story started with the main entrance, which was designed with a light ribbon around the door frame, symbolizing the light leads you to the solution.The entrance linked to an elongated corridor which served as a transitional space to the meeting rooms and working area. Sunlight washes the both ends of the corridor, creates a sense of direction to the inner space. Contrast to the dimmed entrance lobby, the working area was designed to be very bright and calm in ambience. This is a design metaphor which indicating an alluring prospect after solving the problems with the support of this company.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: All partitions, working desks and light fittings were custom-designed for this project. The profile of the partitions and the light reflector were developed from the corrugated metal sheet that commonly used in construction business in order to give a hint of the company’s business nature. These special elements were designed to suit different purposes: the partitions were constructed to be solid, semi-transparent and see-through to fulfill different degree of privacy required; and the zigzag shaped light reflector generates a more even and comfortable illumination on the worktops. With this special attention to the details, we hope to create a sense of discovery to the visitors and users, thus at the same time to reflect the professionalism of the company delivered.
