Web Artist is a free and young Web 3.0 team, gathering a group of like-minded dreamers who always create the most innovative things. Their studio is located in the densely populated Binjiang district of Hangzhou, known for its high density of internet technology. They aim to create a dream base that reflects their team's style and identity.
During the initial contact with OAOA Studio, there was a sense of the Web Artist members' extreme self-demands in their work, as well as a relaxed atmosphere when they are not working. The design of the space aims to align with Web Artist's concept of freedom, cutting-edge ideas, and innovation. Over time, it will bear the imprints of a group of like-minded, young dreamers. The design concept of the project involves unconventional office layout, incorporating leisure spaces, softening boundaries between areas, and achieving a rustic unity in materials.
The entrance foyer area has a lowered ceiling height to create the effect of a front hall in terms of vertical scale. The adjacent meeting room is separated by large glass partitions and partial walls. Wall-mounted lights not only serve as visual guides but also add a unique touch to the entrance of the meeting room.Concrete and parquet flooring run throughout the entire space, while spotlights play a guiding role in visual perception and circulation. A visible leisure area can be seen upon entering, providing a space where teams can better integrate and communicate freely. The transition between the leisure area and the working area is achieved through sliding glass panels and a central axis rotating door. The glass partitions serve the purpose of spatial organization, while allowing for natural transitions and softening the boundaries of each function. The glass allows for the continuation of natural light and visual continuity, extending the space and enriching the possibilities of spatial variations. Under the reflection of natural light through the glass, the workspace visually extends in space.The medieval chair and the natural stack of books form a leisurely reading corner under the suspended spotlights.The handle of the conference room door made of cement.The blurred boundaries divide the space into two separate areas that do not disturb each other yet remain interconnected.
