Refine Dubai Headquarters | ZN DESIGN

Headquartered in Dubai, Refine is a visionary real estate company rooted in a global perspective, with deep insights into market dynamics, economic trends, population mobility, and investment opportunities. With a vision transcending geographical boundaries, it aspires to deliver world-class assets and redefine the future of cities. The company entrusted ZN DESIGN to imagine its new headquarter office—conceptualized as "Refine Sky Gallery," set against Dubai's iconic skyline.

"This project explores the balance of art and future, style and the city of tomorrow, comfort and vacation-like freedom, East and West, and innovation and tradition. With a strong sense of responsibility to shape the cities of tomorrow, it envisions an intelligent, free, artistic, and sustainable urban environment. The future is not just about living—it is about freedom, creativity, and an entirely fresh experience of infinite possibilities."

Dubai's city skyline

Situated on the backbone of Dubai—the city of the future, Refine Headquarters is anchored in the heart of Dubai Bay area, just steps away from the iconic Burj Khalifa. As more than a hub for the convergence of culture, art, and innovation, it represents a pivotal chapter in shaping the cities of tomorrow.

ZN DESIGN crafts a distinctive "Epic Futurism" aesthetic, shaped by sweeping cityscape views, minimalist futuristic scenes, and a unique cultural fusion. This vision seeks to create a modern, futuristic space that radiates timeless beauty, seamlessly blending the "epic" and the "future."

This grand-scale space transcends mere modernism—it's a spatial experiment that intertwines history and the future. The design artfully integrates the proportions and craftsmanship of classical architecture with the sleek minimalism of modern design, creating an unadorned space imbued with classical solemnity. The curated color palette resonates with the dynamic tension of the surrounding cityscape, subtle yet powerfully expressive.

In this future city where desert meets sea, ZN DESIGN incorporates the sinuous curves of Dubai's urban coastline, shaping a space that captures the grandeur of the dynamic skyline. With "Planet Future" as its motif, the space unveils a new vision of the future through a global lens.

The concept of "Desert Oasis" runs through the spatial narrative—a metaphor for the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature on the "desert planet". Here, the space becomes more than a symbol of power and efficiency, but also a landmark where ecology, innovation, and intelligence converge.

With a "de-front desking" approach, ZN DESIGN redefines the reception area as a "green Island", inspired by the vision of a desert oasis. It harmoniously integrates business receptions with the relaxed atmosphere of a café and the social vibrancy of a party bar. This "green island" becomes a hub of spatial circulation, and a flexible, vibrant, and inviting "cultural and artistic urban living room."

ZN DESIGN excels at crafting spaces that evoke emotions and elevate experiences. The design seamlessly integrates an artistic lifestyle into the setting of serious business negotiations, transforming conversations into a relaxed, engaging, and enjoyable experience.

Sound becomes a part of the spatial narrative. The curated soundscape blends the sweeping, oceanic rhythm of Achille-Claude Debussy's La Mer with the profound depth of György Ligeti's Atmosphères, seemingly stretching time and stimulating thoughts to wander between reason and imagination. Against the backdrop of the distant coastline and the futuristic cityscape nearby, negotiation transcends mere business.

The conference room features warm textures and fluid lines, shaping a decision-making space that balances a sense of dynamism with a calm atmosphere. The office area, defined by a technological and modernist aesthetic, integrates intelligent interactive systems with a sleek, futuristic design language, fostering both productivity and creativity to unlock endless possibilities.

The VIP reception room breaks the rigid boundaries of traditional business spaces, introducing a sense of relaxation and serene freedom of a vacation. With natural textures thoughtfully integrated, every encounter is elevated into a refined experience of comfort and exclusivity.

Design is more than a profession—it is an attitude in tune with the rhythm of the times. It's not solely about creation, but a powerful force that resonates with the era, continuing to be one of the greatest adventures.

01 迪拜城市天际线

Refine天际总部，坐落于迪拜这座全球未来之城的脊梁之上，位于迪拜商务港核心板块，毗邻迪拜城市地标哈利法塔。这里不仅是文化、艺术与创新交汇的中心，更是塑造未来城市格局的重要篇章。

ZND之恩设计，通过壮阔无垠的城市景观，极简主义的未来场景、独特的文化融合，创造了一种独属于它的“史诗未来”美学。希望空间在现代未来的基调上，拥有“史诗，未来”的永恒美感。

ZND之恩设计，希望营造巨大尺度的空间感，非单纯的现代主义，而是一种历史与未来交织的实验，希望融合古典建筑的比例、工艺，以及现代设计的简约感。极少装饰，配上古典庄严，配色上选择融进城市景观的张力，极具冲击力。

在这座沙漠与海岸交汇的未来之城，ZND融汇迪拜“城市海岸线”的流畅曲线，勾勒出天际线的磅礴气势，以星球未来的理念构建，展现全球视野中的新未来。

ZND将“沙漠绿洲”的概念贯穿其中，展现出沙漠星球的广袤无垠，人与自然共生的和谐美学，让空间不仅是权力与效率的象征，更是一座连接未来、生态与智慧的地标。

ZND提出“去前台化”，用沙漠绿洲的“绿岛”概念，将咨询迎宾的商务功能，与咖啡下午茶的温暖氛围、派对酒吧的社交休闲生活方式做结合。“绿岛”不仅是空间动线的枢纽，也构筑出一个灵活切换、松弛亲切、充满活力的“城市文化艺术会客厅”。

ZND之恩设计善于营造，人在空间里的情绪和体验。注重将艺术感的生活方式，融入严肃庄重的商务谈判中，让对话变得轻松和充满乐趣。

空间选曲，德彪西《大海》流淌着浩瀚律动，与利盖蒂《大气层》的深邃意境交织，仿佛将时间拉长，使思维游走于理性与想象之间，远处的海岸线，近处的未来城市景观，洽谈不再只是商业的对话。

在集团会议室，以温暖的材质与流畅的线条塑造兼具速度感与沉稳氛围的决策空间，让高效协作在柔和包容的环境中得落成。办公区则以科技与现代主义为基调，智能交互系统、极简而富有未来感的设计语言，使效率与创造力并行，激发无限可能。

而VIP接待室则打破传统商务空间的刚硬边界，融入放松与度假的优雅自由，选取自然肌理，使每一次会面都成为一场舒适而富有尊享感的体验。

设计不只是一种职业，设计是与时代保持同步的态度。设计，不仅是一种创造，更是一种与时代同频共振的力量，设计依然是最宏大的探险之一。
