Ripples Of Thought Office

Ripples Of Thought Office

Ripples of Thought Office is an innovative architectural interior design project that exemplifies the harmonious integration of minimalist aesthetics and functional workspace design. Located in Kunming, China, this 400-square-meter office space was conceptualized and executed with inspiration drawn from the metaphorical and physical properties of water ripples, creating a multilayered environment that seamlessly blends public and private spaces. The design philosophy centers on the principle of simple and moving ideas, utilizing a sophisticated combination of cement, wood, and craft glass to create distinct spatial zones while maintaining visual continuity. The project's distinctive features include strategically arranged bulbs and concrete walls that define different functional areas, while the interplay between artificial and natural lighting enhances the overall spatial experience. The reception area serves multiple purposes, accommodating various activities from formal meetings to training sessions, demonstrating exceptional versatility in space utilization. A notable innovation is the implementation of an open revolving door in the negotiation area, which promotes natural ventilation and energy efficiency. The design creates a sense of belonging through the thoughtful arrangement of plain concrete dwarf walls, carefully positioned lighting elements, and integrated bookshelves, establishing distinct domains while maintaining visual connectivity. Completed in March 2017 after a nine-month development period, this project received recognition with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, acknowledging its excellence in spatial design and innovative approach to contemporary workplace architecture.
