| DESIGN NAME: Uooyaa Office PRIMARY FUNCTION: Office INSPIRATION: We hope to create an image of an unfinished site by using the scaffoldings as an key elements. This unfinished state of mind helps remind people to stay simple and humble, focused and determined, yet open and curious. We hope the Unfinished space we created can be the extension of the brand spirit owned by the client, and speaks to every visitor who walks into the office. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: UOOYAA is a rising fashion brand of ladies apparels. The brand itself is a gift from the founding designer to his daughter, to inspire her, and every girl, to stay liberal, authentic, and fun. We hope to bring out the same brand spirit through the design of the office space. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Functional wise, the client put forward a unique demand as of a fashion brand, that is to say, the space will need to host runway shows and press conferences from time to time. Therefore, when designing the circulation in the public area, we considered the necessity of the connection between the two floors, and to enhanced the sense of roaming in the space mobility. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The completion time is in June 2017 in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: For the choice of facade material, we used a lot of polycarbonate hollow board as space partitions. We tailored transparent and translucent plates of various height. By doing that we maximised construction effectiveness without compromising lighting and sound insulation quality. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: We applied scaffolding, which is commonly used temporarily in a construction site, to the whole office area. Scaffolding is a kind of auxiliary frame unit used in the process of normal building constructions. The scaffolding will be torn down when the construction work is done. We hope to create an image of an unfinished site by using the scaffoldings as an key elements. This unfinished state of mind helps remind people to stay simple and humble, focused and determined, yet open and curious. TAGS: Office, Renovation, Warehouse, Factory, Fashion Brand RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The venue used to be a warehouse of a former space factory. We kept the original structure of the warehouse, made only simple amendment and renovation to the original ceilings. We also added skylights when we reconstructed the factory area. CHALLENGE: Taking into account the chaotic exterior environment of the old industrial area, we arranged several greenery spots around the front desk where close to the main entrance and the external wall windows. The greeneries have become a transition area from outdoor to indoor.
