Find Way

Find Way is an office interior design created for a health and beauty company headquarters in Shanghai. The project covers 412 square meters and follows a layout with a front reception area and working areas behind. The original straight wall lines of the building are retained, while added curves soften the plan. White and light wood tones meet gray floor tiles, natural stone and wood textures. The main hall combines reception, meeting and display functions. Chandeliers with brass brackets and turquoise blown glass spheres spread a warm light.

The whole space is based on calmness. All background colors are light, gray, white, etc. In order to balance the space, some highly saturated colors and some layered textures appear in the space, such as deep red, such as pillows with unique prints, such as some textured metal ornaments.

Xiang

Xiang is a Chinese restaurant interior created inside an old house in the center of Tainan, Taiwan. The design is inspired by the salon, a historic form of gathering where guests meet, talk and relax. The original structure is preserved and joined with a new diagonally cut building form. Chinese red brick, Morandi green walls and sand gold custom iron pieces respond to the Hunan dishes served. Clear water mold and straight grain acrylic add a modern tone. A large floor-to-ceiling window shows the warm dining atmosphere to passers-by.

House of the Mystic Art

House of the Mystic Art is a private residence in Taipei, Taiwan, that also serves as a workplace, since the owner hosts a live-streamed talk show at home. The apartment is three decades old and covers 152 square metres. The ceiling stands at 2.68 metres, while the maximum height under the beams is 2.13 metres, which created a sense of constraint. The floor plan was replanned to improve circulation and natural light. Ceilings were set at different heights to vary the visual experience. Materials include mineral paint, stone, wood, stainless steel, tile, glass and plants.
