Turning Office Space

Turning Office Space

Turning Office space is an innovative architectural interior design project that revolutionizes traditional office layout concepts through a distinctive 45-degree rotation of the interior space, creating a harmonious blend between public and private areas. This groundbreaking design solution, which earned the prestigious Golden A' Design Award in Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, transforms a previously narrow, windowless 105-square-meter ground floor space into an open, light-filled environment that challenges conventional boundaries between street and office spaces. The design's core innovation lies in its creation of two trapezoid spaces through the angular rotation, with one area serving as a plant-filled park for employee recreation and community interaction, while the other functions as a transitional entrance space, reflecting traditional Oriental entryway concepts. The project employs extensive use of transparent glass, particularly in the conference room design, which maximizes natural light penetration and creates visual connectivity between interior and exterior spaces. Notable technical considerations include the application of weather-resistant paint suitable for Taiwan's monsoon climate and the implementation of large-scale toughened glass panels to minimize visual interruptions. The design successfully addresses security concerns through modern technology rather than traditional grilles, demonstrating an innovative approach to safety without compromising aesthetic and functional objectives. This transformative project exemplifies how architectural intervention can reshape not only physical space but also social interactions, challenging conventional approaches to urban office design while creating a more sustainable and harmonious work environment.
