RESEARCH ABSTRACT: As it is a demonstration unit, therefore the designer needed to realize the local market and type of customers in Changsha. Of course the designer was required to work closely with the marketing team of the client, so that we came up some optional office types for the client's final decision. IT company was selected because it is the major market in this office scale.
CHALLENGE: Layout is important in this project. As it is a demonstration unit, we needed a special layout to match the design scheme and also help customers to walk through the unit. Finally, one way flow was proposed, customers can go from the entry, to the conference room, then walk around the big working desk. All areas would be accessed easily.
Besides, we needed to think carefully about the ceiling design because the ceiling height under the beam has only less then 2.3m. Furthermore, the construction period was very short, only 25 days, we needed to discuss ans solve many problems with the constructor on site, such as the big working desk, hanging lamp with size over 4.8m length etc.
