The goal of this project is to provide a workplace for workers to socialize and to improve their well-being. The design seeks to balance the need for innovative corporate image and support the employees' work life through a mixing diverse programs and outdoor activities together in the complex.The exterior of the office building facade emphasizes the contrast between volume of stone façade and the lightness of glass curtain wall. Aluminum panels in orange color are applied as the theme color of this project and adds a layer vibrance in the carve-ins. The glass volume is articulated with a random pattern of aluminum panels curtain system which offers a playful, yet highly functional sun-shading purpose. The dining hall is housed in a three-story building with a pitched roof, to differentiate from the office building in form. The double height space on the second floor with ultra-clear glass curtain walls provides great visual access from the inside out.
