DESIGN NAME: Towodesign Studio
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Office Space
INSPIRATION: The project is an office designed for interior designers, whose job not only requires unrestrained imagination and courage to break the boundary, but also rigorous logic in terms of information conveying and spatial functions, meticulous working attitude as well as delivery of warm services. Taking full account of the working state of the users, the design team created a warm working space that fuses rational and emotional aspects.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Minimal design language were used to create "abnormal" interior landscape, adding unconventionality to the space based on practicality.
Trees and the undulating formation generated by storage spaces on the main desk produced the core interior landscape. In a small room, a plant pot also forms micro-landscape with the desk.
Animal sculptures and lamps were placed on unexpected positions, which are eye catching.
The floor at the window area was elevated, providing a good view of the outdoor scenery.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The project used lots of warm wood, which constituted wooden blocks in the space. With the white overall space as the background, those blocks generated functional and spatial rhythm.
The wood formed slash-the staircase, straight line-the platform, and grids-the bookshelf.
Within the rhythmic space, a few eye-catching and flexible elements were added, such as the cattle a on the wall, trees planted on desks and the monkey hanging on the bookcase, all of which softened the entire space.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: November 2017-January 2018

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: As the main materials, composite wooden boards formed wooden blocks in the space. Widely utilized for the resting platform, stairs, handrails, furniture, walls, the ceiling, hidden doors, and the Studio's logo, etc., the composite boards ensured a consistent wooden texture in the space and also saved cost.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project is an office designed for interior designers, whose job not only requires unrestrained imagination and courage to break the boundary, but also rigorous logic in terms of information conveying and spatial functions, meticulous working attitude as well as delivery of warm services.
CHALLENGE: In the meeting room, the relatively low floor height caused an oppressive feeling, so mirrors were added to the ceiling, which enhanced the sense of space. And the air conditioning diffuser was too conspicuous, which couldn't be moved due to the position of the air conditioner. What's worse, no suitable symbolic alternative was found in the market. To solve this, the designers ingeniously arranged the lamps with the square diffuser as the center, generating a interesting formation.
