This museum has a complex three-dimensional geometry from its concrete shell. It is shaped by the local worker’s hand in Qinhuangdao using a formwork made from wood small linear strips and other chosen materials. The architect also retains the imperfect and irregular texture of the formwork, allowing the building’s manual construction traces to be seen and felt clearly.
The interior design of LUMIPOD is made as a 4 hotel room with a curved entry door. The wardrobe is located on the right side of the bed while the bed itself is integrated into a shallow niche. The bathroom has a toilet, a shower, a sink, and a toilet that closed by a glass wall. For the finishing, the designer uses rough and simple materials such as woods for the bedroom floors and plywood for the ceiling and plywood.
Previously, the Director’s office was located on the outside area of the daycare. Now, this office is integrated into the daycare space, allowing more effective oversight of the daycare daily operations. There is a large wrap-around window in the main space that provides awesome views and a lot of natural light from the skylight.
Dubbeldam Architecture + Design uses some graphics interactive elements with a combination of travel-culture motifs for the interior. There is a playful arrivals/departures board in the kitchen, helping to track the globe-trotting of the employees. While in the reception area, the large interactive world map is made from plywood with colored wood pegs.
The extreme weather like winter becomes another issue for this project because the site is located in northern China. So when winter comes, there is no outdoor playground. The architects propose a linear space with 6 meters in wide and 80 meters in length for the teachers and children as an indoor multi-purpose playground. There is also communal space designed to encourage communication with the audio and visual connections.
The workspace is open, flexible, and large, a useful space that can be used for everything. The office staff can have a good time for work and meetings in this space. They also can hold some large events in this workspace, including music performances, parties, talks, and dinners. The design result from ORA turns this office into a functional place to be used by the company.
The architect uses silvers color and mirror to expand this office suite views. Those elements also can create interesting reflections, showing how to work in a good way in such as an extraordinary office space. Some spaces are divided and separated by a glass wall and doors that combined with some bright colors too.
The design for this office villa is created to make all staff feel at home while they are working, especially in long hours of work. This kind of design is also answering the standards of high-performance in providing a good place to work. The centerpiece of this office is the kitchen, designed with a custom designed brass kitchen island too.
This office design is very flexible with a materialization that can be dismounted. The existing shelving systems are also reused with the timeless furniture to complement the inspiring and unique design. With these shelving systems, this office can have enough storage to put and organize all office stuff without taking too much office space.
With the designed spaces, this office can have an awesome look that radiates from the central lift to the entry area. The architect also minimizes all effects on the existing heritage features then maximizing the intent of the office of using this office as a workplace. All things are integrated and connected well within the office space.
The elegant feeling is created in the office spaces and also in the boardroom. This boardroom has an added level of strength and purpose with the use of metallic accents, a dark stained timber table, and also tan leathers. The atmosphere in this boardroom becomes more comfortable and unique too which is different from another office.
