10CM Interior Design Office

by 10CM INTERIOR DESIGN

Project Description

As an office of an interior design firm, it opens the door to creativity and experimentation. With pure white as the foundation, the space seamlessly integrates functionality and aesthetics, where the interplay of light and shadow creates an atmosphere that transcends the ordinary. It turns into a "lab" for exploring the dynamic relationship between humans and space, where logic and emotion are intertwined to inspire boundless possibilities.
To embody a human-centered company core value, the space harmoniously blends travertine-look tiles, mineral coatings, glass, and cement textures. Each layer enriches the environment with depth and contrast, while their interplay crafts an office where strength and softness coexist in effortless harmony.
Meeting Room
To maximize natural lighting and promote sustainability, the meeting room is strategically positioned in the sun-filled area, significantly reducing the need for artificial illumination during the day. This thoughtful layout not only conserves energy but also enhances the ambiance, creating a bright and inviting space. Transparent glass defines a separate space without disrupting the visual flow of the space. A slightly elevated flooring further adds layers to the space. Instead of a solid wall, a double-sided cabinet serves as a partition and functional storage, ensuring fluidity and continuity between spaces. Additionally, a black-tinted mirror is strategically placed to conceal the structural column. Its reflection visually extends the space, enhancing the perception of openness.
Public Space
At the heart of the space, the sofa serves as both a lounge for guests and a gathering spot for employees to connect and unwind. The slanted feature wall with light strips ensures a soft glow that mimics the gentle glow of a fireplace. It also serves as a striking visual focal point that draws the eye and infuses the space with a cozy, inviting ambiance. In the materials room, a central island allows for an easy selection of materials. Soft, evenly distributed lighting ensures that colors appear as they would under natural light, allowing for accurate and true-to-life representation. Besides, the seamless integration of the feature wall, sofa, and central island creates a cozy ambiance, softening the rigidity of a typical office environment. This thoughtful design blends functionality with aesthetics, fostering a workspace that feels both inviting and inspiring.
Office Area
A semi-open shelf subtly defines the public and office areas, balancing transparency with privacy. This design ensures that each space remains distinct yet connected. An open-plan layout enhances teamwork, with face-to-face workstations maximizing spatial efficiency. The high ceiling with raw textures creates an open, airy feel. Exposed ceiling, stylish track lighting, and matte black fire-fighting pipes contrast against the crisp white public area. Materials clash in a harmonious way with various colors, creating a beautifully layered and balanced space. At the end of the office, the manager's office and VIP room are strategically positioned to ensure privacy. This thoughtful arrangement provides a refined and composed atmosphere, ensuring a sense of exclusivity.
Entryway
The entryway wall, clad in travertine-look tiles, stands as a quiet barrier against the bustling city. Its raw texture grounds the space, fostering a sense of calm for those stepping into the space. Above, a mirrored ceiling reflects light around the room, casting a soft, layered glow that adds depth. A concealed storage cabinet for hardware and tools ensures that the dirt and dust are kept at the entryway. By clearly distinguishing the workspace from the entryway, the design achieves a clean and organized environment.
