Find Way: A Harmonious Blend of Function and Aesthetics

Lycent Lai's Innovative Design Approach for Xundu Health and Beauty Shanghai Headquarters

The inspiration behind 'Find Way' was to meet the needs of the company's overall operation while seeking the satisfaction of multiple functions in a limited space. The designer built the entire space into a layout mode of front store and back factory, highlighting unique personality while fully meeting the use function. The design respects the original architectural structure features of the building and, on the basis of retaining the original straight line of the wall, makes some curves to create a unique aesthetic.

What sets 'Find Way' apart from other designs is its balance of modern business trend with exquisite artistic style. The design recalls the lost aesthetic feelings in the indifferent and alienated city. There is no conventional space structure, rigid and soft material matching, which makes people seek a surreal balance in the world. The design aims to let customers in the pursuit of external promotion at the same time, get inner peace and abundance.

The design realization technology used in 'Find Way' is noteworthy. From the entrance, the simple white and log color matching inside, the collision with the gray tiles on the ground, gives people a low-key luxury. Through natural stone and wood texture, the designer shows the change of the depth of the space and outlines the concise lines to create a balanced, harmonious and continuous flowing space environment.

One of the key points of the project design was to transform the abstract artistic expression into perceptible spatial language and increase the benefits for business operation. The reception center is adopted convergent layout, making the field more concise. It is not only a simple artistic expression, but also a resolution of the limitations of the original space.

The project started in May 2018 in Shanghai and finished in August 2018 in Shanghai. Under the premise of consumption upgrading, space experience is more and more like a kind of rigid demand. In order to emphasize the natural, healthy and modern atmosphere, the designer tried his best to get rid of the sharp edges and relatively strong modeling, set up the space relationship between the boxes in the high and low lattice, and provide the office space that can be flexibly combined and adjusted according to the use needs.

In conclusion, 'Find Way' is a testament to Lycent Lai's innovative design approach. The project showcases how a harmonious blend of function and aesthetics can create a space that not only meets the needs of a company's operations but also provides a unique and engaging environment. It's no surprise that this design was awarded Silver in A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2020, a testament to its outstanding expertise and innovation.
