The headquarter of Matrix is located in the Rongchao building, opposite of Lianhua Mountain. The first sight of it makes you feel the whole space is embraced by nature, which is rarely seen in the city, and that is why we finally chose to be located here. We hope to have a space like a theater or a gathering place where everyone can express the most real emotions in the whole office. Therefore, we sorted out a blank space in the center of the office, which is also the place with the best view. There are several groups of furniture combinations with different feelings, forming a separable and combined scene. The company has many departments and colleagues, hoping to provide a space for everyone to relax, rest and read, and at the same time enhance the communication between each other.

Compared to other projects of this type on the market, the biggest advantage and highlight of this project is its unique natural environment and the way we bring natural landscapes into the interior. The project is located opposite Lianhua Mountain, so the design team used large areas of glass and mirrors in many areas, so that nature and the interior are combined more harmoniously. In addition, the layout will also be different from the traditional office, the design of the most comfortable and the best landscape area are left to the public space, so that employees can enjoy the rest and relaxation here.

The first impression when entering the office is to present a space that is not defined, where there is a large area of white space to realize more possibilities. At the same time, we also hope to express our practice of sustainable concept through this space. Here, we use a lot of renewable or discarded materials. The stool is inspired by building blocks and made into an infinite combination of modules, which can exist independently and form an array of information sessions or be transformed into a variety of scenes, such as salons, exhibitions, etc. This is an environmentally friendly sponge chair, which is a form of waste utilization. Our reception desk is also made of discarded stone scraps from the site. It is the outermost part of the marble and cannot be used for delicate decoration, but we think it records more history and changes, so we are very happy to find these stones.

In the design process of this case, we spent a lot of effort to solve the basic functional problems. For example, the lighting design suitable for colleagues' offices should not only fit the overall tone and achieve aesthetic standards, but also consider practical value, comfort and energy consumption. In the end, the design team used indirect light based on the beam position. Special conference room emphasizes functional aesthetics. This space abandoned all decorative elements, ceiling beam structure, floor, column, bearing the weight of the entire space. All of it should be seen just like the conference table. The public used to focus on the desktop, in fact, the table foot bearing the desktop is equally important. Therefore, glass material was chosen for the desktop. The transparent texture lets it a transparent protagonist, making the structure of the entire furniture clearly visible. This space is more like a separate island that exists throughout the office, which is honest, authentic, and inclusive. What is contained in the camping area is a wish to find a more relaxed and closer to nature of the office in a reinforced concrete city, to explore different office and leisure experience. A scene surrounded by the sky, plants, gravel, pure and simple, makes everyone's behavior more like their own.

What we have been exploring is a way to make everyone healthier and more relaxed, so we have added a lot of emotional care for employees in the office design, such as camping office area, cat house cafe, etc. We try to meet the functional demands of the project itself while providing deep spiritual value.
