Ordinary Place

Our studio is a square box of around 100 square meters.. It is located in an ordinary office building in a very ordinary neighborhood, connected by ordinary corridors. The interior is well-organized and all corners are clear at a glance, except for a very small area where the ceiling pipe lowers the net height, making it the only "special scale" in the entire office.
普通场所

我们的工作室是个 100㎡上下的方盒子。它处于一个非常普通街区的普通写字楼中，被普通走廊联通。室内四方规整，所有角落一目了然，只有一个极小区域因为顶棚走管，压低了净高，是全办公室唯一的“特殊尺度”。

Facing this ordinary and even a bit "boring" office, we feel that we must do something to make it more interesting. 'Setting the scenery in the plate' is one method. But setting up a scenery requires establishing rules first, which starts with spatial order: unified entry and exit, diversion and partition, and "two conversations and one tea".
盘中置景

面对这个普通的甚至有点“无聊”的办公室，我们觉得必须得做点什么，好让它有趣一些。“盘中置景”就是一种方法。但置景是需要先建立规则的，这个得由空间次序说起：统一进出，分流隔断，以及“两话一茶”。

Inside and outside the gate pavilion

"Unified entry and exit" refers to our door. Due to facing our neighbors across the corridor, we have placed a "gate pavilion" here to avoid sight. The reason why it is called a "pavilion" is because there is a cover above it, a boundary around it, and a turning point for entry and exit. In order to reduce the heavy ceremony of "going to work", we use a hidden frame glass sliding door hidden in the wall to close the boundary, and then use an unlocked semi transparent wooden door as the actual entrance to the field, which is opened on weekdays.
门亭内外

“统一进出”即我们的门。由于走廊对面正对邻居，为回避视线，我们在这里放了一个“门亭”，之所以称为“亭”，是因其上方有盖，四周有界，进出有转折。为了削减“上班”的沉重仪式感，我们用一扇藏于墙内的隐框玻璃移门，封闭边界，再用一扇不上锁的半通透木门作为实际的领域入口，平日开启。

The consideration of "diversion" comes from two daily office needs: "Am I looking for colleagues or going outside. The two streamlines are divided by a set of movable low bookshelves, and with the change of flooring, we call it the "Ridge Island". When this set of bookshelves was moved to the surrounding area, the ridge disappeared, leaving only a small island, and the center was a spacious open space as large as possible for organizing small sharing events.
穿越、对望与相隔

“分流”的考虑来自于日常办公的两个需求：“我是找同事？还是去外面？”。两条流线由一组可活动的低矮书柜切分而成，配合铺地的变化，我们称其为“山脊小岛”。当这组书柜被挪至周边时，山脊消失，只留小岛，中心是一个尽可能大的开敞空间，可以组织小型分享会。

平面图

The "diversion" leads to the respective work areas of team members and leaders, with the "partition" being a corridor where various materials are placed. Materials are a very important part of design work, influencing and determining our thinking about a space. Therefore, we will face this corridor towards the "Gate Pavilion", perpendicular to the "Ridge", forming a cross axis to achieve the highest sense of ceremony. We call it the "Qianjin Corridor".
“分流”引导出团队成员与负责人各自的工作区域，其间的“隔断”是一条摆放各类材料的走廊。材料是设计工作中非常重要的部分，影响并决定了我们对一个空间的思考。因此我们将这个廊子对向“门亭”，与“山脊”垂直，形成十字轴线，以获得最高的仪式感，我们称其为“千金走廊”。

The upper part of the corridor is transparent, minimizing its impact on indoor lighting. The waistline has become the dividing line for the vertical facade of the entire studio: the lower part is composed of wooden solid walls made of ocean panels and perforated panels, providing the necessary visual obstruction for work and achieving stability and convenience. The upper part is composed of white walls, transparent sun panels, and lightweight wooden structures, forming a transparent but not fragmented facade, providing indoor visibility and preventing the originally small studio from appearing crowded and narrow due to spatial partitions.
走廊的上半部通透，使其对室内光线的影响将至最低。腰线就顺势成为了整个工作室竖向立面的分隔线：下部由海洋板、洞洞板组成木质实面墙，提供工作时所需的视线遮挡，获得安稳与便捷。上部由白墙、透明阳光板与轻盈木构组成，形成通透却不割裂的立面，提供室内视线的穿越，让原本不大的工作室不会因为空间的隔断而显得拥挤狭小。

Stealing Light by Digging into Walls

"Two Talks and One Tea" refers to meeting rooms, telephone booths, and tea bars, which are ancillary areas in daily office work. The two conversations are a thorough place for communication, so they are placed at that "special scale", with a lowered ceiling and movable wooden doors, allowing it to detach from the main space. Due to privacy requirements, the telephone booth is isolated as an independent space in this area, forming a box within a box. The telephone booth is the location with the least light in the entire office, but its outer side is the equipment platform. Therefore, we have opened a so-called air conditioning pipe hole here as a realistic version of cutting through walls to steal light. Therefore, this booth is named "Borrowing Light Pavilion".
凿壁偷光

“两话一茶”指的是会议室、电话亭，以及茶水吧，属于日常办公中的附属区域。两话是彻底的交流场所，因此将其放在那个“特殊尺度”处，由压低的吊顶，可移动的木门，让它从主体空间中脱离出来。由于私密性的功能要求，电话亭在这个区域中再作为一个独立空间被隔离出来，形成盒中盒中盒，电话亭是全办公室最缺光线的位置，但其外侧是设备平台，因此我们在此开了一个所谓的空调管线孔洞，作为凿壁偷光的现实版本，于是这个亭被命名为“借光亭”。

As a public space, the office needs to seek a balance between personal privacy and communication. We hope to present the space in a form of arrangement through this bonsai style design, gaining recognition and freedom.
办公室作为公共空间，却需要在个人隐私和沟通交流中寻求平衡。我们希望通过这样一种盆景式的设计，将空间以一种摆放的形式出现，获得认同，也能获得自由。
