RESEARCH ABSTRACT: A it is the office lobby, designer worked closelly with the client about the function of the space. Designer would like to propose the space is not only a transitional space, it should be user friendly area where people like to stay and enjoy the green during the office-break hours. The designer spend much time to research the similar projects and explained to the client.
CHALLENGE: In accessory design, designer do not want to over decorate. As the office lobby is quite big, the area is about 370sm. Finally designer decided to seperate into 3 parts, the front part with more casual feel. The stone seating is carefully arranged in fornt of the reception counter. The second part is the common area with the large oil painting as the focus. The people sitting around would have the focal point of the space. The last part is the lift looby with the feature hanging lights.
