Optics Valley Housing

“Light Valley. Light Valley settlement” project design description

Optics Valley is located in the northwest of Wuhan Optics Valley Future City, the center of East Lake National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone, with Jiufengshan Forest Park to the north and Huawei Wuhan Research Institute to the south. After nearly 30 years of development, Optics Valley of China is a “world-class high-tech park” built by the state. About 10,000 people will live and work here in the future. It will be an integrated community full of vitality and vitality. The design team hopes that Optics Valley will live in Optics Valley High-tech Park to play an innovative platform effect of “efficient, caring and connected”.

1F is the office lobby, and 2-3F is the office space, which is flexibly connected by the road show steps of the lighting atrium. The top floor houses a restaurant and a roof garden as a place to relax in a fast-paced office environment.

“Front office” as a forward-looking vision of the enterprise, the front office space not only expresses the current image of the enterprise, but also focuses on the long-term planning and development of the enterprise in the future. The vestibule space is treated with illuminated glass boxes, and the lighting fills the interior with a sense of future and imagination.

The function of “lighting atrium” is not the expression of form. In the preliminary survey, the site area is large and vertical moving line is needed to improve the work efficiency. The setting of the atrium is crucial for the high-vitality and fast economy of the enterprise, and the reduction of the partition of the physical wall helps the vertical and open work communication. The step ladder represents the “connection and integration” within the enterprise. Through the atrium, all departments can be reached quickly. In order to create a peaceful and gentle atmosphere, silent, sound-absorbing materials are necessary. The light gray paint and soft lighting present an introspective monologue that is both quiet and expansive. The natural interlacing texture of the wood silk sound-absorbing board expresses the idea of harmony and peace, as if it is retained in memory through the spiritual journey of time and space.

How do “shared areas” balance the boundaries between office and humanities? How to resolve the contradiction between functional limitations and humanization? We hope that the tea area not only as an additional function, its integration with office functions is crucial, we try to take into account the meeting, reception, staff rest and other diversified use, as a medium to break the serious atmosphere of the office, we use color to express, yellow metal mesh board light elegant carpet with soft activity furniture, to add a vitality and comfort for the enterprise.

“Roadshow Theater” not only serves as a medium for floor conversion, but also undertakes the functions of corporate culture display, team meetings, sharing activities and books.

“Second floor conference room” we hope to present as an “energy transfer warehouse” concept, using stainless steel and bamboo and wood fiberboard silver fog surface texture to present a sane and clean environmental feeling, extend the color to a small part of the meeting chair, to express the contrast between rationality and sensibility. Customized desk for enterprises, respect for privacy and storage functions, desk file cabinets and side cabinets can meet a variety of document items storage.
