Article source: QUANWEN DESIGN OFFICE The new studio of QuanWen Design is located on the north side of Qiantang River, and is adjacent to the West Lake Mountains. In the design of the studio, we give a new dimension to space. With a simple design as the core design concept, we aim to create a simple, clean, pure and relaxed atmosphere of the office environment. We put aside all the slick decorations for the design of the new office, retaining the most authentic space properties of the building In the new studio, we used minimalist design techniques to explain the aesthetic meaning of the space through eliminating all the extra decorative elements, using black, white and gray as the main color, using large areas of plain concrete and wood veneer and creating the atmosphere of the office with the most straightforward design language.

The area is divided by black tone, and the dark terrazzo is used to form an L-shaped space extending from the ground to the wall. The bar body wrapped by black stainless steel combines the functions of storage and side tables, and the unique coldness of stainless steel highlights its modernity. Two different materials are interspersed to form a double L-shaped block to define the entire entrance area. The fresh and bright atmosphere of the reception area is in sharp contrast with the dark water bar area. The beige walls and light terrazzo floors complement the refined texture of the furniture, and the hidden ceiling lights and the warm lighting of the downlights make the space even warmer.

We opened up the original pattern, which made the living room and restaurant area form a open space for communication. As the core of the studio, it connects various functional areas, and we hope to create a bright working atmosphere in this space. We deliberately expose the concrete material of the walls, tops and beams, and the tone of the space is based on the steady neutral gray. The rough and original texture is contrasted with the warm and soft logboard, and the black metal furniture is visually contrasted.

Both visual and functional effect are achieved. We use corrugated glass sliding doors as partitions, which weaken the independence of the rooms and ensure that the interior is well lit and private. The custom-made table and chair cabinets give the entire space a pleasant dimension, the coexistence of modern industrial sense and the beauty of the oriental nature.

The employees can make a cup of tea while at leisure, enjoy the warmth of the afternoon sun, and look out over the scenery of Qiantang River in the distance. The overall simple style is also adopted in the public office area. The large white area of the wall Makes the space light and bright. We made a curved ceiling above the office desk, and the black lines and warm lights make the space soft and warm, and the light on the ceiling provides plenty of light for the workbench. The overall bay window sill extends the wooden floor material from the ground to the facade, enriching the rhythm of the space, alleviating the tension of traditional office space and adding a sense of vitality.

The washroom divides the office space into two parts and has its own function. The functions of the washroom are separated by dry and wet areas. The sliding door wrapped by the stainless steel and gray mirror used to extend the visual effect, and the opening and closing of the sliding door help organize and divide the freely and laterally moving space, making the whole space more flexible. The white bricks on the wall extend from the inside to the outside public space, breaking the division of the bathroom. The sink is stretched from the ground terrazzo, stretched from the plane to the facade, and cast into a sculptural shape.

The top air-conditioning vent is wrapped with brass, and the embedded brass plate is integrated with the white gypsum ceiling, with the vents for central air conditioning embedded in like gems. The 1/4 arc internal fillet contains a light strip, and the warm light is mixed with the metallic luster of the brass and the wind pours out.
