Funny Games Office

Funny Games Office

Funny Games Office is an innovative interior design project that exemplifies the harmonious integration of traditional architectural elements with contemporary workspace design, completed in 2015 in Fuzhou, China. This sophisticated office environment, designed by Kaixin Lin, masterfully combines concrete, wood, and soft lighting to create a space that transcends conventional office aesthetics. The design's distinctive features include a carefully crafted entrance hall with grey antique brick flooring and exposed concrete ceiling, achieved through a specialized sanding technique that provides both dustproofing and unique textural qualities. The space employs a thoughtful material palette of traditional white walls, grey tiles, and warm wood tones, creating a clean and inviting atmosphere. Notable architectural elements include a minimalist staircase without handrails in the central foyer, custom-designed suspended tea tables with fine steel supports, and an ingeniously integrated attic space accessible via a split staircase. The design philosophy emphasizes spatial playfulness through blurred divisions and unconventional combinations, while maintaining professional functionality. The project, which earned a Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, showcases innovative solutions such as strategic body block cutting in the general manager's office and carefully considered lighting design that creates modern, warm spatial experiences. The sophisticated integration of traditional architectural scale with contemporary design elements demonstrates exceptional attention to detail and spatial planning, resulting in an environment that successfully balances professional requirements with experiential quality. The design's thoughtful incorporation of natural elements and careful consideration of sight lines, particularly in the tea house area, creates multiple layers of visual interest while maintaining practical workspace functionality.
