DESIGN NAME: The Cloud
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Office for Aviators
INSPIRATION: The theme of flying is translated into sequences of how technology, people and nature interact. Users take off, fly, explore, share, and recharge. Every movement within the building is a flying journey connected by flight paths. Those paths creates efficient circulation and promotes more interactions among people and nature. Based on our research, those interactions will boost the company creativity and productivity.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Cloud is a headquarter for a well known aviation company inside two 48 floor towers. The total area of design is 162,800 m2 with the goal to fit 10,000 people. It is a creative hub that fully integrates customization, sustainability and flexibility. The scope include the lobby, typical offices, bathrooms, tourist elevators, amenities, day care, exhibition and flying zone.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The Cloud is an interior design for a technology corporation. In the rise of AI, we aim to make the space flexible and healthy for the current and future tenants. No one can tell for sure how computers will change workplace in the future. It is best to remain open for the possibility to store more servers in the space. The design makes many empty space as planted area. It is on one hand good for current tenants, but it can potentially become room for servers.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project concept started in April 2017 in Shenzhen, China
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The functions of the design embrace the idea of flexibility, customization and sustainability. Our design aims to achieve LEED and WELL qualification. The building promotes an active lifestyle by offering facilities such as the gym, daycare, outdoor garden and indoor flying garden.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The Cloud is a future proofed office, because the design can fit more staff or more servers based on unexpected needs. In typical office and exhibition, flexible spaces and equipment allow individuals and groups to share ideas anywhere and anytime. In addition, access to daylight, use of smart and circadian lighting systems, and air purifying plants are in place to create a healthy environment.
CHALLENGE: We have to create a test fly zone for drone and people. Using stage equipment from performance theater, we created a movable flying garden that can work for both drone testing and day to day enjoyment.
