Entry Description

The concept of this office project was to create a special space for employees, a platform for creators to gather and celebrate their individuality, culture, and ideas. Under the theme “Subcultural Retreat with a Kick,” the design was inspired by keywords such as Asia, chaos, cyberpunk, and pop culture, and we strived to create a new spatial expression that deviates from the traditional office image. The space became a free-form canvas “retreat” covered in art and neon lights. This collaboration between the architect, art curator, and 22 artists in total, resulted in a spectacular project.
