Project Brief

Design can shape and guide people's behavior, as well as resonate a sense of belonging and harmony. In the plan layout stage of this project, SUNSON Design adopts a open design to facilitate collaboration and communication. Well lit and ventilated areas are prioritized as open workspace for employees; private offices, public lounge and conference spaces are then arranged accordingly. Glass walls and open furniture are used to create a sense of trust and transparency among hierarchies and different departments. The openness in this design encourages interaction among staff, therefore improve productivity.

A real estate developer is perceived as austere and orderly, therefore,black-and-white is chosen as the tone of the space to express sublime simplicity, professionalization and rationality. A light tension and stress in the primarily monochromatic space reckons professional endeavors and responsibilities. The careful selection of office furniture consists a range of warm colors of orange and red, which compliments the space with positive, bright and warm vibes.

Project Innovation/Need

Lighting design of the space is remarkable. The consistent linear illumination and concise integral space complement each other. In consideration of the impact of ambiance on employee performance, the luminous intensity in the workspace is set above 500LUX to stimulate creativity and positivity in bright and open environment.

One of the significant benchmarks of success in office space design is the feeling of coziness, well-being and creativity received by staff. The visual design of headquarters is expected to bring positive impact on the Jianfa Group’s brand image. Several months after the project was completed and put into use, SUNSON received great feedback and recognition from Jianfa Groupe and its employees.

Design Challenge

The completion time is quite limited,the design team finally completed the plan and construction drawings within two weeks. For such a large project, the time is very tight. Another point is its high requirements on environmental protection and acoustics. All materials should be environmentally friendly and renewable.Most areas are open and should not be too noisy. Therefore, choosing materials especially on the smallpox and ground is very critical.

Sustainability

Environmental friendliness is a primary design principle in this project. Various natural and reusable materials such as aluminum, wood, ceramic tile, etc. are used for hard and soft furnishings in this project. Designer believes that it is not necessary to use luxurious materials in office space design, surely it is also due to the consideration of limited budget. Appropriate use of green materials can reduce waste and pollution, which helps provide a healthy environment to employees who work in office for more than 8 hours daily.

The use of sound-absorbing material is another highlight of the design. The perforated sound-absorbing cellular aluminum panelled ceiling above workspace, anodised aluminum paneled walls and ceilings in elevator bank and hallway, along with carpeted floors all contribute to noise reduction and better productivity.
