YANG’s Shenzhen headquarters has a total floor area of nearly 6000 square meters. It is located in the bustling city center, yet boasts natural scenery such as Bijia Mountain and Yinhu Mountain. Located on the 38th and 39th floors, the office provides a working environment with panoramic views of the lush mountains at eye level.
Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings, the design incorporates traditional Chinese gardening techniques to break the rigid planning of conventional offices to create a space that embodies the subtle and serene essence of Eastern aesthetics through the use of black and white color schemes, private tea spaces, and water feature areas. This environment is designed to help designers immerse themselves in inspiration and to create an aesthetic living space that is open, inclusive, collaborative and connected.
The lift lobby on the 38th floor is transformed into a Chinese garden colonnade, evoking a sense of mystery leading to the Peach Garden. The almost 800 square meter lobby integrates the reception, waiting area, coffee bar and library, inviting sunshine, cloud shadows, rolling hills and the city skyline to become part of the interior. The lifestyle-hotel-inspired lobby offers clients and employees warm hospitality and relaxation while taking advantage of the cityscape. In addition, the lift lobby on the 39th floor has been transformed from a grey space into the starry CHA PU tea lounge. Two artistic spiral staircases have been added between the two floors to streamline circulation.
The vintage point on the 39th floor, the JIVANA café, the QIAO FENG tea room and the border-less library… the most advantageous areas are reserved for all employees to take a break, have a chat and enjoy life. The materials library showcases innovative, eco-friendly materials from around the world for designers to select and refine. The ubiquitous natural rocks, and the sound of gurgling water, give you the impression of being in a garden. All directors’ offices have an open design for smooth and equal communication. The meeting rooms, whether chic, fresh or modern, are designed to encourage a variety of inspiration…
Since its opening, the new office has received numerous visits and inspections from the industry, major universities, developers and hotel operators, and has been highly praised. In the expensive land of Shenzhen’s urban core, a workspace reminiscent of a landscaped garden truly transforms design into a lifestyle, which is extremely valuable.
