DESIGN NAME: Space For Simplicity
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Workplace
INSPIRATION: The designer laid particular stress on horizontality, verticality, right angle, and visual symmetry. By flattening surfaces, the designer prevented uneven wall surfaces and the seams that may result when placing storage cabinets. Lightweight partition wall constructions were utilized, and in order to avoid outside corner damages that caused when carrying items, metal edge trims were installed while construction.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The clients of this project hoped that the interior space can be divided into separate spaces for different departments. Considering the needs and job function of each department, the separated office rooms were created. Besides, the even surface, edge and corner anti-collision projection, symmetric segmentation, minimalist style were emphasized for this project to present the spaces.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This project is located in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Considering the needs and job function of each department, the separated office rooms were created. With edge details, line segmentation, and the technique for making the complex simple, office rooms were separated for each department, and the operational efficiency was increased through improving traffic flow in office.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in May 2021, and was completed in February 2022 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Glossy cement board, gypsum board partition wall, pvc flooring, cabinet system.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The 2,847 square feet space includes general managers office, supervisors office, administrative office, sales office, meeting room, and pantry area. In the supervisors office, the supervisors can communicate and manage various departments. In the administrative office, the administrative staff can report to supervisors and discuss with them in a short time. The sales office emphasized spatial flexibility, which provides the sales flexible use of space.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: By deeply understanding characteristics of the building materials, the designer utilized glossy cement boards and gypsum boards to build lightweight partition wall, which created natural texture and effect similar to fair-faced concrete.
CHALLENGE: The challenge was how to precent the segmentation principle with minimal design and materials. The designer created completely even wall and vertical segmentation line with accuracy through precisely measuring the distance and proportion.
