The C Future Office is a continuation of the C Future Lab, which is the second conceptual interior space inside the C Future City in Shenzhen. Located on the 56th floor of the office tower, it is a private business club which is designed for the people working in the C Future City.
Since the global pandemic started, it has hugely influenced the way we work. Many people have discovered new ways to work, by using the latest communication technologies, it is no longer required to travel to the office. Many companies have realised that they do not require such a large office space, and this has a huge effect on the global office rental market.
In this current situation, QUAD Studio has questioned the conventional way of designing an office space. Why people come to the office to work? The design team has to rethink the conventional way of organising the office space.
The C Future Office is aimed to inspire people to work differently, the spatial design encourages people to be more social and collaborative, reinventing the office as a social gathering space rather than an efficient work space. It will accommodate a series of spaces which can adapt the current and future needs of the office in the C Future City.
By incorporating the needs such as exhibition, interaction, conferences, gym and relaxation, the spatial planning combines the functions of work, rest, eat, drink, talk, sports altogether. Instead of a very static environment, these spaces can be mixed or divided according to different needs. Creative group of individuals will come to the C Future Office to meet each other, and to co-work together, or showcase their work in one of the exhibition spaces, like a new platform which encourage people to share and collaborate.
