‘beaver workshop’ office is an innovative work space tailored for a film and media company designed by
it is located in a business park for creative industries, which was
transformed from a concrete factory, in chaoyang district, beijing. the
original space was a single-story truss-structured warehouse, containing
three spans, with net height 6 meters and ridge height 9 meters. the
client expects to double the usable area by adding an interlayer, thus
fulfilling the functional requirements of animation, art, screenwriting,
directing, producing, and logistics sections.
the usable area was expanded by inserting a multi-opening box
which occupies more than half of the site containing an atrium and all
the inward rooms like independent offices, meeting rooms, rehearsal
room, and logistical spaces. the flow outside the structure is
left for open workspace. the client wanted to create a flexible,
interactive, equal, and fun atmosphere to inspire employees’ creativity.
a split-level strategy is applied to arrange the large conference room
and the animation rehearsal room so that people from both first and
second level can see the activities inside these spaces. the open
aree creates unique experiences by the collaboration of five different
levels and the multi-opening walls
public areas are vital compositions in this innovative office
renovation, and practitioners in creative industries would expect
comfortable and relaxing public spaces with life-like experience in this
kind of office projects. the atrium connects first and second
floor vertically, with lamps and potted plants hanging above a long
table, in order to serve a perfect place for presentations, open
conferences, brainstorming, and team-building activities. the tea
corner, instead of being enclosed in a traditional office space, is
enlarged into an island bar, providing a recreation spot and networking
platform as well as a space for temporary small meetings. the highlight
of the public-use space is the atrium area on the second floor: sunlight
flooding in through the skylights, hanging plants running through the
whole space from roof to the first floor, workspace for art and
directing section outside the multi-opening box. almost every space is
making a connection with this central area spatially or visually.
