JUT Group Office Space

JUT Group

Jut Group is an office interior of 658 square metres set across multiple floors in Taipei, Taiwan. The layout combines open work areas, private and semiprivate meeting rooms, executive offices, a gym, a yoga studio and a dining room. Vertical wood slat walls surround the two floor open lobby and absorb sound, which reduces echo in the surrounding offices and meeting rooms. Frosted glass gives partial privacy, and a soft daylight ceiling diffuses light through the public spaces. The yoga studio has a handcrafted wooden floor inspired by tree rings.

Sanjiang Plum Sales Office

Sanjiang Plum

Sanjiang Plum is a sales office interior in Wenzhou, China, covering 1898 square meters. The design explores Oriental aesthetics in a modern context. An irregular wave shaped ceiling is built from laminated white semi matte custom made aluminum panels, arranged like ripples across the room. The bar counter uses interpenetrating volumes and water textures to add depth. A method of deconstructing curved forms brings movement to a plain square plan. The interior follows the architectural form, so that light, landscape and social life stay central.

Monya Japanese Restaurant

Monya

Monya is a Japanese restaurant with a floor area of about 230 square meters. The west facing facade is formed by tall glass windows, so a very thin wooden lattice was installed across the whole surface to soften the strong sunlight. The interior includes private rooms, a counter where the chef cooks in front of guests, an open space for parties and a terrace seat beside a private garden. One glass private room can be divided in two by a soundproof sliding shutter. The lattice gives privacy without solid walls and creates calm light and shadow.

Furniture Pavilion S Showroom

Furniture Pavilion S

Furniture Pavilion S is a temporary furniture showroom designed for a trade fair in Shanghai. The pavilion covers 150 square metres and is built from 821 pieces of prefabricated standard size plywood, which allow assembly or disassembly on site within 48 hours. Steel forms the rest of the structure, and the hyperboloid roof is covered with semi-transparent tensile fabric that spreads sunlight evenly. Stacked modular plywood units also serve as display coves. After the exhibition, the pavilion was transformed into 410 sets of tables and chairs for a nearby community.

Forest Vision Office

Forest Vision

Forest Vision is an office interior designed to bring a forest atmosphere into a workplace. Irregular forms replace the common square layout, and the plan combines honeycomb and cave concepts. Large glass windows let daylight and outdoor views enter the space. Wooden tables and panels are made from driftwood collected thirty years ago and treated with heat instead of pesticides. Iron parts are surplus materials from industrial construction. A water pipe column shaped like a tree trunk hides wiring. The result connects daily work with nature.

Wild Restaurant and Bar

Wild

Wild is a restaurant and bar interior located in Nanjing, China. The original catering space was large and underused, so one area was separated to work as an independent whiskey bar. The restaurant and the bar are divided by a passage, yet remain visible to each other. The restaurant recalls camping in nature, with a large custom canopy made of Oxford cloth, terrazzo flooring and natural rock flakes on the walls. The bar imagines a new home a century from now, with a curved structure of wood and gypsum board around a luminous model of the earth. The total area is 235 square meters.
