U Media

U Media is an office interior design covering about 100 square meters in Qingdao. The palette is based on black, white and gray, with low saturation and high brightness to create a calm and open atmosphere. An open arched doorway divides the plan while keeping the space fluid and avoiding a cramped feeling. A four-meter bar beside the arch separates functional areas and offers a place for coffee and tea. Local anti-glare lighting at 4000K brightens the desk area. Soft boards on the walls hold notes and soften the surfaces.

Archi-Lab

Archi-Lab is an architecture studio interior designed as a place for spatial experiments. The design brings exterior materials inside.

Within Archi-Lab, these materials are re-organized to bring the scale of the exterior into the interior. New walls are mixed with old brick, and the book shelves are made from re-bars. The intent is to explore new possibilities in spatial design.
