In today's fast-paced and demanding work culture, finding joy and comfort in the workplace is more important than ever. Manas Design Space, designed by Ziye Zhao, is a revolutionary office space that aims to provide an unforgettable experience for both employees and visitors. With its warm and inviting atmosphere, Manas Design Space offers a "home away from home" where work becomes a pleasure.
Manas Design Space stands out from other office designs with its unique focus on air flow, natural elements, and ergonomic furniture. The use of natural plants, abundant natural light, and environmentally friendly materials creates a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere. By abandoning traditional closed-off offices in favor of an open and inclusive layout, the space encourages collaboration and diversity.
The design team behind Manas Design Space has carefully considered every aspect of the workspace. The second floor was partially built to enhance the sense of hierarchy and utilization, while the sinking area creates a shared experience reminiscent of a cozy furnace. The overall design promotes transparency, efficiency, and collaboration, making it an ideal environment for designers to thrive.
Manas Design Space offers a range of amenities to support the well-being of its occupants. From a learning shared space and book bar to a fitness area, yoga room, and dining room, the space seamlessly integrates work and relaxation. The layout allows for multiple paths of movement, fostering openness and interaction between teams.
The construction of Manas Design Space began in November 2019 and was completed in February 2020. Since its launch, the space has received recognition for its innovative design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2022. This prestigious award recognizes the practicality, innovation, and professional standards exhibited by Manas Design Space.
Manas Design Space is a testament to the power of thoughtful design in creating a harmonious and productive work environment. By prioritizing the well-being and creativity of its occupants, this innovative office space sets a new standard for the future of workplace design.
