Fintech Co-working

Fintech Office is a co-working interior of 980 square meters designed for a financial technology brand in Beijing. A spiral staircase was generated with parametric design software, so the pattern of its surface reflects the aesthetics of the digital era. A cast concrete installation forms a waterfall and a pool with copper ducklings, bringing a water feature indoors in a city with long cold winters. Simple materials create a relaxed working atmosphere. Varied functions and activities extend the office space into surrounding urban life.

Rebirth

Rebirth is an office interior design created inside a forty year old warehouse on the ground level of a narrow lane. The interior walls were removed to expose the brick walls and concrete plywood, which improves ventilation, adjusts moisture and reduces wall mold. Glass and iron pieces replace carpentry, so parts can be removed, recycled and reused. A glass entrance brings daylight inside and links the indoor and outdoor space. A corridor paved with wood pattern tiles connects the reception and the work area. Plants grow in the seams of the walls.

RICCA

RICCA is a bar interior in Kagurazaka, Tokyo, a district that keeps a traditional Japanese atmosphere. The design expresses Hanami, the Japanese custom of cherry blossom viewing that lasts only a few weeks in early spring. The ceilings of both spaces are covered with flower shaped objects made of resin with hologram sheets, cut by laser and bent by hand. Light placed inside and outside is reflected in changing colors, so the objects appear as fluttering petals. A half transparent red film is added in the lounge area, while the private karaoke room reflects light naturally.
