The reconfigured space introduces a new approach to logistic offices as opposed to the stereotypical warehouse workplace. The design embodies a casual, warm and playful environment that reflects the belief in each individual’s ability to show initiative.  Image Courtesy © Kevin Wu

J.C. Architecture created a place that promotes creativity, personalization and collaboration while playing a role between the interior and exterior.

The workstations are placed in what is called the “cloister area,” a hall enclosed by arches with one side facing the inner building and the other overlooking the courtyard.

They created the layout in a human-scale approach with small groups and breathing spaces, as it dissolves the hierarchy of a typical office.
