IDEO SHANGHAI COLUMBIA CIRCLE

IDEO SHANGHAI COLUMBIA CIRCLE

Shanghai \ 2020 \ 1900 sqm \ office

 

 

IDEO’s new Shanghai office in a five-story, refurbished building in the Columbia Circle historic redevelopment area is like a school, where working is like learning and sharing between classrooms and communal spaces.

 

To increase inter-floor interactions, the concept is to insert a key communal space as the clear center of each floor immediately upon arrival, and to pair a range of working spaces all around so the experience is unified and truly a part of the core space, like working inside a library, or working inside a work shop. The diversity between the floors will then naturally emerge out of the personality and spatial types of these programs as opposed to an overly differentiated design intervention per floor.

 

The result is a strong culture with consistent company identity throughout and also enough diversity beyond the repetitive floor experience.
