Yimu Design | Ningbo Zhaoyin Building Office

Project Overview

The plot is located on Zhongshan East Road, Qianlong Block, Ningbo City. Within a radius of 1km, there are historical and cultural ancient buildings such as the Seven Pagoda Zen Temple, Qian Sule's Former Residence, Rainbow Square, and Baizhang Road. The architectural design fully considers the local cultural and historical characteristics, so that the building itself is coordinated with the local environment in terms of height, form, volume, and style, and integrated into the urban texture of the entire area. The facade extracts the image of "tile stacking" from traditional architectural tile roofs, and uses modern techniques to interpret regional cultural connotations.

Project Brief

Culture is an extremely abstract concept, on the one hand, it quietly changes the temperament and connotation of a city, and on the other hand, it serves the cultural life of citizens and improves their quality of life.

From the perspective of re examining the emotional connection between cities and people, as well as the resonant relationship between space and people, customers can take space as the starting point and act as lighthouses, becoming modern navigators. With the aim of WEWOKE, create an equation for a free space for young people.


The goal of creating a collaborative office space is not only to create a flexible office space but also to create a sense of connection and belonging both inside and outside the workplace.

A safe space for nourishing and relaxing the body and mind.

A life that is not just about work.

Warm and hospitable experience with ease.

Project Innovation/Need

The reception lobby space uses terrazzo materials and Rubik's cube elements extracted from the logo to form a modern image wall through deformation and array, creating a single block box that runs through the curved glass on both sides, in contrast to the electrically atomized glass boxes on both sides. The ceiling design draws on the strong aesthetic appeal of regional shipping culture, and the streamlined "wave" elements are interpreted into exquisite details at a close human scale. The design is full of tension and delicate, bringing multi-angle focus to the space.

The traversal between units brings the possibility of wandering and socializing from an artistic perspective, creating a public life experience similar to a city tour. The block-shaped sofa fits the space and can be adjusted according to needs. The leisure chair adds overall fun, trendy, avant-garde, diverse, exquisite, and functional overlay. This is a boundaryless and free composite space that conforms to modern life, work, and leisure.

Meeting rooms of different spatial scales are designed using block and color block techniques, incorporating a relaxed atmosphere in a stable manner. A high-quality meeting can set a good start for the new stage of work. Multi-specification meeting rooms meet the needs of business negotiations, academic exchanges, product demonstrations, and guest meetings.

Design Challenge

The project is positioned as a high-quality local joint office project, and the design team needs to understand market demand and project positioning and use reasonable layout and materials to achieve the positioning needs of Party A.

Sustainability

Use environmentally friendly and new materials as much as possible in the design to achieve better design results within a limited design cost.

Create comfortable and creative spaces using natural materials and geometric layering.

Terrazzo, geometric carpets, and latex paint are common elements but have strong expressive power They can effectively reflect the fun of the space, which is beneficial for health, environmental protection, and returning to nature.
