Silver A' Design Award Winner 2025

Listeners will explore a contemporary office break area and café space designed with vibrant energy and sophisticated material choices. Scanning from the bottom of the frame upward, the floor immediately captures attention with a bold geometric pattern of interlocking hexagonal shapes in bright golden yellow like ripe lemons, deep charcoal gray resembling slate stone, warm sandy taupe, and creamy ivory, the woven carpet texture suggesting a surface that would feel firm yet cushioned underfoot like commercial-grade textile flooring. Moving to the left portion of the space, a long white counter stretches horizontally at bar height, its glossy laminate surface cool and smooth to the touch, accompanied by approximately seven contemporary stools with seats alternating between warm rust orange resembling autumn maple leaves and natural pale wood tones, their slender wooden legs creating an airy rhythm against the patterned floor below. Progressing toward the center and right middle ground, two small round white tables surrounded by black wire-frame chairs create an intimate conversation area, the metal chair frames suggesting a cool industrial texture beneath the fingers. Behind this seating zone, a striking accent wall in vivid orange-red, warm as a ripe persimmon, creates a glowing vertical rectangle that draws the eye like a beacon, its saturated hue radiating welcoming energy into the neutral surroundings. To the right, floor-to-ceiling dark gray cabinetry with integrated appliances and storage stands beside warm honey-toned wood veneer shelving illuminated from within, where small potted plants with fresh green leaves provide organic softness, the wood grain suggesting the tactile pleasure of natural material beneath fingertips. The ceiling above presents a clean white plane punctuated by recessed circular lights and a dramatic black linear track extending diagonally through the space like a defining architectural gesture. Through expansive glass partitions at the left background, an open office workspace becomes visible, bathed in abundant natural light filtering through windows, with various pendant lights suspended at different heights creating a lively, occupied atmosphere suggesting productive collaboration and professional engagement throughout the broader environment.

The ocean themes led the design team's creative process through all the elements of graphic planning to finally creating an island space through an oval conference room at the focal point of the reception area. This design maximizes the influx of natural light and landscape views, making it more transparent and bright while breaking the boundary between indoors and outdoors. The panoramic view features the skyline of Ningbo East New City and the urban landscape of Yinzhou District. Like the mountains on the far horizon and the distant harbor, it appears like the whole world is within reach.
