To allocate two separate functional offices under one roof and maintaining a unify design but with different identity is a challenging design task. Initial program of the office was to explore the possibility of open office to facilitate seamless collaboration. Yet with the embedded office hierarchy culture, the finished designs borrow the essences of both open office and traditional office and generate a hybrid of new office planning.  Wood materials flooring and walls leads people to the common shared reception area.   All white, floor to wall dynamic design gesture of the reception desk serves as a white canvas to the entire office space.  It setup a minimal backdrop to the other exciting spaces within each of the offices. Both departments use materials that are cost effective and practical for this project.  Vinyl and laminate are 2 major materials used. Yet with eclectic selection of the above mentioned materials, the possibilities are endless.

Showing off new cars is not the main objective for this car dealership’s vision, the focus of local vernacular flavor is encouraged to be part of the design element of this showroom. Therefore, waterfall and ponds,
bamboo groves and a huge over size moon gate as the main focus have been playfully engaged within the modern showroom design.  One can visit this showroom to realize with no mistaken of a Mercedes Benz car showroom in China.

To concentrate on enhancing the display of the cars rather than having the design of the showroom space overshadow was the first response when asked to design this showroom. The primary design’s intent and objective was then generated to create an eye-catching, sophisticated display backdrop that keeps in with the luxury car’s image. A white glass-faced diagonal display wall is the major driving spatial element in the design of this showroom. The white wall also doubles as a backdrop for the cars in the main showroom area, which is also in itself a window display, as well as a division between the showroom space and the sales/ office spaces. To remain coherent with the basic design intention which is not to compete with the cars, the display area is kept simple and clean with added floating rings of stainless steel for ceiling lights, as an implication of unity and the endless ideas and innovations of brand to come.

When designing restaurants for South Beauty Group. Team 7 conducts reconnaissance to the site surrounding the project. Located in the Beijing Financial Street, this gave us the loud and direct connotations to the theme, “money”. In solidifying the theme of “Wealth and Money” we try to celebrate the notion of “work hard and earn more” by interpreting and emphasizing on material usage in the interior design. Black and Red represent the volatility of the money market: the ups and downs in profit making. The accented Gold symbolized the lure and the materialist in all of us.  Design elements such as the Gold coins and the ancient Chinese coin shapes are implemented throughout the project.  Different forms and representations of wealth and money are inter played within the restaurant. The coin wall is one the major feature walls on both the ground floor and second floor. Inside the VIP rooms, coin screens are erected within to ensure patrons privacy and to unify the coherent idea. Walls with over-sized round opening and turnstile with “flip the coin” artworks are again iconic of money.
