To design a co-working space, for NeuehousE. The design intention of this Co-working space is to create a calming work environment by using dark neutral tones, and industrial style and complementing it with dynamic, curved and textured materials, adding plants to create a calming and fresh environment that makes them feel closer to nature.

Concept Statement

STEP BY STEP

NeueHouse, the same definition of 'NEW', reflected new standards and the different co-working space environment. Based on their brand identity, They advocate evolution, growth and transformation to describe 'new', that's where the idea comes from. Interpret it in different layering, and show how the shape grows and transforms. Looks like a shape is transforming from layer to layer in every organic shape. Every shape is different in layers, and changes slowly, named 'step by step'. The different flow of curves and shapes will bring an illusion which slowly grows and evolves, and when it strongly applies in space, the feeling of transformation will come out.

Lounge Area

Library - The library area in a co-working space offers a serene and focused environment for members to engage in deep work, research, or quiet contemplation. It's designed to provide a retreat from the bustling activity of the main workspace, offering a tranquil space for concentration and reflection. As a killing point, there are a lot of organic shape platforms on the floor and ceiling panels, which show the transformation, evolution and growth of the whole interior. Besides, that’s also a signal to tell people to keep exploring and keep growing. The library area is also near the window, which means it is using a natural light source and can save a lot of cost.

Concept Statement

BEYOND BORDERS

This design is about the intersection of culture, which represents the restaurant’s Chinese cuisine and lifestyle, which represents wine in the restaurant. Based on this, the elements that are related to or significant will mix or intersect which my idea is inspired by. From the cultural side, I choose Chinese calligraphy art while on the lifestyle side, I choose the spinning form of wine surface texture. The reason is that Chinese calligraphy is a signature of Chinese culture. From the texture or first impression, the shape is undulate and sinuous; spinning and whirling shape is a signature or first impression action about wine. This carries out the restaurant's identity which is an intersection of culture and lifestyle. From this direction, the concept and design will be surrounded by the intersection of undulate and whirl.
