With comfort and ease as the core design philosophy, in this city surrounded by noise, the WUXING YOUXING OFFICE is like a quiet oasis. It uses simple and bright design language and materials to create a pure land for the intersection of inspiration and nature. Here, the design is fluid art, turning every step in the space into exploration and discovery. It invites people to pause, contemplate, and be inspired on the journey through nature, art, and creation, seeking a new balance between people and the space within.
Stepping into the office, the first thing that catches your eye is a sand-colored marble cultural wall, on which the four-character logo "WUXING YOUXING" is inscribed, setting the tone for a space that is elegant and relaxed. Next to the stone wall, the deep space is articulated in black and white, revealing the realm of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, while the art installations break through the rules, becoming the visual focus. The warm texture of wood grain and the simple artistic furnishings complement each other, like an unfinished painting, laying the groundwork for imagination. Here, as the first rays of light fall, a dialogue about space and the soul begins.
Book cafes are not only reading nooks but also wells of inspiration. Wooden bookshelves stand around like a forest, and beige slate flooring continues the natural tone, instantly softening the temperament of the space. Soft membrane ceiling lights simulate natural daylight, giving the bookshelves a warm gold coating, as if each book hides a beautiful secret.
The art installations scattered throughout and the paintings on the walls weave a quiet conversation, as if those who read are dancing deep in the forest with sunlight, books, and nature.
The white ground flows like water and the black stones stand like islands, as the realm of mountains and waters unfurls. The hues of wood and the vibrancy of books also exude a lush vitality... In this oasis-like domain, people immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge and beauty, finding inner tranquility and focus.
In the corner of the book bar, the wildness of nature is revealed by the bareness of the original structure. The hardness and roughness of the structure is reproduced with brushed real stone paint, contrasting with the wood-coloured lamps and echoing with the art installations, the unique atmosphere of design art is generated in the space.
The long corridor's smooth lines interweave with the structure of dew and beige walls to create a rhythm of dynamic and static harmony. The natural flow of movement guides people towards the multifunctional high cabinet area and the public office area, where order is the core, and inspiration and focus provide infinite possibilities.
The multifunctional high cabinet serves both as a display stand and storage, with the mortise and tenon structure in the details becoming spatial clues. While leading people in space exploration, it also reminds designers of the infinite charm of Eastern aesthetics.
The ultra-high partitions in the public office area fully consider privacy, creating the best environment for focused design work. Whether it is the dark gray rough ceiling or the light wood-colored walls and tables around, the light and dark of the space become the breeding ground for inspiration, fermenting an intangible spirit in a tangible posture.
The change of light and shadow leads people into the restaurant, which is the most ceremonial place in the space. The circular lighting design of the ceiling is like a full moon, with soft light spilling onto the table, creating a warm yet solemn atmosphere. The integration of wood and stone shows a simple but delicate style, and the minimalist floral installation on the table endows the space with the rhythm of life.
Outside the window, greenery abounds, and the rice paper does not block the sunlight, merging privacy with a sense of nature, creating an excellent environment for a meal. Being in it, whether for daily use or design display, brings comfort and pleasure.
The meeting room emphasizes the poetic balance of the space, which is both soft and quiet, and inspiring. The moist wooden walls and simple furniture lines form the basic tone of the space, creating an atmosphere close to nature. Sunlight filters into the room through gauze curtains, softening the hard edges and adding warmth to the flow of thoughts.
Deep in the space, the private office is hidden in a corner, like a harbor prepared for the soul. The soft wooden walls and dark furniture constitute the main tone of the space, creating a calm and warm atmosphere. Sunlight pours in through the glass wall, and the gauze curtains soften the light, achieving a perfect balance between tranquility and nature. The art paintings on the wall and the sculptural installations on the table show the designer's ultimate pursuit of details and aesthetics. Here, thoughts can be focused, and inspiration comes like a tide. The private office not only carries personal focused time but also a secret territory for deep thinking and creation.
From the prelude of the front desk to the source of inspiration in the book bar, from the emotional intersection of the restaurant to the dwelling of thought in the private office, every design is showing the harmonious coexistence of people and space. The intangible is the flow of inspiration, and the tangible is the bearing of design. In this oasis, design transcends its function and becomes an unfinished poem, waiting for every passerby to write their own chapter.
