Jingyuan No.22 project transforms an old cotton warehouse with a ground floor area of 330 square meters to a coworking office owned by two young Internet finance companies.

The design concept, originated from the concentration of space interest and flexibility, is to connect the experiential space with Internet thinking. The architect created an interactive coworking space with multiple working possibilities and varying narrative scenes through furniture partitions and natural light control.

“Spatial Montage”

As the primary organizing element, this two-storied steel structure allows to construct a new spatial order in former Jingyuan No.22 Warehouse.

Each level has an independent looping circulation system that is organized along the central courtyard. The main conference space and a white wall specially for projection within courtyard have been achieved not only as the visual center of the entire building, but also a considerable functional area where is the main venue for company meetings and entertainment. The open working space around the courtyard ensures efficiency of teamwork and communication between employees.

In addition to main conference area, the cafeteria, sunken sitting area next to the secondary entrance, library zone on the upper floor and the grand OSB staircase can be adapted to the independent group discussion or even temporary small-scale teamwork for programmers. As a result, nonlinear montage of work scene designed by architect is finally presented through diverse working contexts. Meanwhile, this continuously evolving space that can adjust to the development of team guarantees daily operation of new employees when the fixed workstation is not enough.
