OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The 1st floor breaks the design of traditional office space and is positioned as a small-scale art museum and collection. The void space above the entrance is the highlight of this case. Demolish the floor slab between 1st and 2nd floor to form a landscape point and improve the lighting of the 1st floor, which is transparent and with improved interactive. Since position of this atrium landscape stairs is at the lift hall of the original house, the designer moves the lift the back of the house and release this area, thus the stairs become a landscape.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: 1st floor is designed into a small art museum instead of traditional office and applied with some original products of the designer. There are ultimate possibilities in the later stage based on different demands. 2nd floor is employee office area.
Key tone of the area is black, white and grey. A red box is applied between 2nd and 3rd floor as the ending of the stairs. This makes the whole space more interesting.
Generally, most people have a sense of exclusion on the bathroom. So, the designer hopes the bathroom to be pleasant and uses bright colors in it to make it a show of beauty.
CHALLENGE: Since it is a historical building and the original structure is not allowed to be changed greatly, the design work is rather difficult. Based on its original structure, the designer creates new blocks and functions for it and rebuilds the spatial order and aesthetics.
Limited by the area of office space, the designer combines many functions together, such as the reader and the meeting area. In this way, the headache point of the office space becomes the luminous point.
