DESIGN CONCEPT

1.SHARING, COMMUNICATING, CREATIVITY

The floor plan of two circle shapes streamlined in the open space shows the function and make the room usage more efficient. 

The original space below public staircases is too small to be used. According to the space conditions, now this space turn to be a reading and corporate culture display area.
