This groundbreaking project, labeled as an "Office Design," challenges the conventional notion of cubicles and embraces an open concept. The 500-square-meter space features six long, large tables that can be arranged in various configurations, fostering a sense of freedom, inspiration, and fun.
The design process began by integrating the client's strong public branding image into the interior space. The main colors of the brand's visual identity were carefully chosen to give each area a distinct look. Mirrors on the ceiling and walls at the entrance create a futuristic effect, while different colored carpets, wallpaper, cement, glass windows, and plywood add depth and texture to the overall design.
Upon entering X Power, visitors are greeted by the company's iconic P and X symbols, as well as a floor layout that guides them through the space. The large X diagonal serves as the main pathway, leading from one corner to another. Each corner represents a different color from the company's logo, creating a visually striking and cohesive environment.
The green corner serves as the entrance gateway, featuring a reception desk and a waiting area for visitors. In the red corner, employees can take a moment to recharge and rejuvenate. The blue corner houses four meeting rooms for private group gatherings, while the yellow corner provides dedicated spaces for supervisors.
One of the notable challenges faced during the project was the limited timeframe and budget. With less than four weeks for construction on-site, the design team carefully selected cost-effective materials that aligned with the overall scheme, ensuring the project was delivered on time.
X Power has garnered recognition for its innovative approach to office design. In 2021, it was awarded the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This accolade celebrates the design's practicality, innovation, and adherence to professional and industrial requirements.
By reimagining the traditional office space, X Power showcases the power of design to create a dynamic and inspiring work environment. This project serves as a testament to the endless possibilities of merging art, architecture, design, innovation, and technology to enhance our daily lives.
