Light Slit: Transforming the Office Space with Natural Light

Creating an Interior Lighting Patio for a Unique Office Experience

The main office of Goody Design Co., Ltd. in Taichung City has undergone a remarkable transformation with the introduction of the Light Slit design. Designed by Wen Chi Lee, this innovative concept brings natural light into the office space, creating a unique and inspiring environment for employees.

The Light Slit design draws inspiration from the square ground outdoors with cement grouting, using embossing methods to simulate the crack pattern caused by sun exposure on the fallow after the harvest. This not only adds visual interest to the surface but also increases the coefficient of surface friction. The result is a visually stunning and functional design that enhances the overall office experience.

One of the standout features of the Light Slit design is the interior 180-degree width lighting patio created by cutting a light slit in the building. This design element breaks the closed cement cage and introduces natural light into the people's activities field. The connection to nature through light awakens people's feelings of returning to the land and gives metaphorical meaning to the endless cycle of nature.

The Light Slit design is realized using culture stone, clay tile, and stainless steel materials. These materials not only add a touch of elegance to the space but also contribute to the overall durability and longevity of the design. With a total area of 115 square meters, the Light Slit design seamlessly integrates into the existing office space, creating a harmonious and inviting atmosphere.

Functionally, the Light Slit design offers an interactive experience for employees. By changing the original drab cement shell, people can now perceive the movement of the sundial, the skew angles of shadows, and the changes in a day or season. This allows them to appreciate the passage of time and encourages them to live in the present moment. The restless light rail, symbolizing the pace of time, serves as a reminder for people to seize the moment and make the most of their lives.

The Light Slit design by Goody Design Co., Ltd. has received widespread acclaim and recognition. In 2016, it was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise, innovation, and artistic skill. The Light Slit design stands out for its technical characteristics and its ability to evoke positive emotions, amazement, and wonder.

With the Light Slit design, Goody Design Co., Ltd. has successfully transformed their office space into a visually stunning and inspiring environment. By incorporating natural light and unique design elements, they have created a space that not only enhances productivity but also fosters creativity and well-being among employees.
