Arizon Office | JUNWEI SHEN

Design Conceptualization

Design is a journey without destination, while inspiration is the ever-lastingimaginative spring……

As Central Park to New York, Hyde Park to London……there is as if a green heart in every city, a breathing paradisethat dissolves all the urban hustle and brings nature another step closer, relieving our mind and soul……

the founder of Arizon Design Mr. Junwei Shen has been advocating the involvement of 「ECOLOGICAL FASHION」in space for his professional practice. This time, the bold idea is to create a natural and transparent " Imaginative Park " in the limited space of high-rise building of Hong Kong Plaza, empowering her existence a breathe assimilating「open-piled Building」. Let employees in the busy and crowded city, in the steel forest built by skyscrapers, no longer feel cold and lonely; let this office space be full of warmth and cohesion, inspire employees to break the routine and continue to create ideas; at the same time, this office space continues the city's gene and historical charm of Shanghai, let the past and the future meet here.

The overall space is as if framing the urban landscape from mid-air. Where the eyesight unpretentiously lands are buildings of various heights and distinguishing forms aligning with eye level, roofs, red brick walls, windows, trees…….the enclosure of which conjugates an exceptional domain, an 「imaginative park」 hidden among the plain sight of skyscrapers.

Walking into the office is like Setting foot in a center street park following a winding lane, sunlight glistering among leaves, red brick walls, walkway path, long bench……

About the project

Arizon's office is located in the heart of Shanghai’s most prosperous Huaihai Road, surrounded by the uttermost trendy shopping malls in Shanghai, as well as Shanghai’s history and culture representative “Shikumen” architecture. At the storm center where eastern and western culture collides and multi-elements of unique liberal tastes merge, exceeding the boundary of conventional design, inside high-rise a field where fashion synchronizes and past communicates with future is forged, an imaginative world that “breathes” and is warmly tangible, inspiring mellow sentiments as if being in a park, delightful sunshine touching on our shoulder, free and at ease.

Design Challenge: Grounded within closed high-rise building office space, to create boundless and adaptable multi-dimensional functionality experience

Designer conceptualized from「imaginative park」, seizing a lifelike sentient atmosphere of enjoyable leisure.

Bright and thorough glass window introduces outdoor natural light inside. The whole space longs for a closer engagement with the nature, replicating a landscape resembling park in high-rise building. Every move taken grasps a slice of the prismatic sky, as if wielding on a canvas with ardent ambition ……Buildings of various heights cluster into an envelope, as if a wander traveling time-space of both past and future ends up unpreparedly plunging into the vigorous imaginative world.

About function

From working space to multi-dimensional scenario experience, autonomous spatial growth.

Conventional working space limits human activities by rigid formality. A space of autonomy, adaptability and diversity breaks boundaries in metrical sense, extending territory of imagination: park mode, media mode, work mode, exhibition mode and more. Let the working space transform into an imaginative park, where ideas explore freely.

Reminding people to care about the genetic source of the city they are living in, and appealing joined efforts to nurture a place of adventurous imagination and emphatic opinions.
