The new location of our design studio is in the pavilion on the second floor of the Houbao Promenade. After the renovation of the promenade, some shops have been added, sharing the community landscape with consumer tourists. As one of the shops, while meeting the needs of office and reception, we hope to reserve an open riverside space for the public. Therefore, the following operations were carried out during the design process:Save this picture!Save this picture!One corner of the original pavilion was close to the railing, and a glass box protruded from the other corner, enclosing the cliff - side walkway into a private area. First, we cut off one corner of the building to make the walkway circular; and cut off another corner to leave an observation deck at the best position of the walkway.Save this picture!Save this picture!In order for the studio and the walkway to share the river view without interfering with each other, we raised the indoor space by 1 meter. Coupled with the 1 - meter - high wall below the window, a 2 - meter - high exhibition wall is formed. It will be a nice experience to introduce the company to clients while overlooking the river.Save this picture!Save this picture!A passage was cut in the middle of the building. It serves as both a staircase from the outdoors to the indoors and a window for the courtyard to view the river. On one side of the passage is an office area with six workstations. The desks integrate functions such as trophy display, printer, refrigerator, and microwave oven. The top of the cut - off corner is combined with the water bar countertop. On the other side is the reception area, where sofas and a TV are arranged along the cut - off corner. The top of the cut - off corner is equipped with a lazy sofa for rest.Save this picture!The final state of the design organically combines indoor office work and public sightseeing in the same space, allowing both to share the river view while remaining independent of each other.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Nanan District, Chongqing, ChinaLocation to be used only as a reference.
