RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project name takes the same name of a HK movie, which is about chasing dream. For the owner, this name stands for youth, vitality, mutual-aid and dream. The owner is an introverted man who has a strong desire for communication, so he requests that the design style of the whole office space should be communication-encouraging, funny and informal. There is plenty of space reserved for parties and he hopes the boundary between working and living within this space to be weakened. The three spaces are interactive and independent which are connected by a shared space. They can be viewed from each window and will not be affected by each other.
CHALLENGE: The most difficult part of the design is the control of cost. Based on the limited frame, the designers created three different spaces by the least use of walls. Taking into account the future expansion of personnel, the material is easy to be removed for space changes in the future.
