层次与节奏：空间布局的灵动表达
Layers and Rhythm: Dynamic Expression of Spatial Layout


▲前台区 / Reception area

我们精心打造了位于美国洛杉矶的INFOLD公司新办公空间，这个项目在克服跨国沟通和文化差异的同时，也巧妙地应对了建筑本身的空间限制。这座建筑的外墙设计为独特的锯齿形状，整个平面布局呈“L型”，这些特点为空间规划带来了不小的挑战。然而，通过精心的设计策略，我们不仅克服了这些难题，还创造出了一个层次分明、节奏感强的空间布局。我们充分利用了外墙的折线形状，将原本可能导致空间浪费的角落转变为规则的方形区域。每个小空间都保持了其方正的形态，并通过巧妙的布局设计，形成了一种层次丰富、有序的空间序列。这样的设计不仅增强了办公区域的秩序感，还赋予了空间一种动态流动的特性，为INFOLD的员工提供了一个既实用又美观的工作环境。

We meticulously designed the new office space for INFOLD in Los Angeles, USA. This project not only overcame the challenges of cross-national communication and cultural differences but also cleverly addressed the spatial limitations of the building itself. The building features a unique sawtooth-shaped façade, and its overall layout is L-shaped, posing significant challenges for spatial planning. Through thoughtful design strategies, we not only resolved these issues but also created a spatial layout that is layered and rhythmically dynamic. By fully utilizing the zigzag lines of the façade, we transformed corners that might have resulted in wasted space into regular square areas. Each small space retains its square form, and through a clever arrangement, they are organized into a richly layered and orderly spatial sequence. This design not only enhances the sense of order in the office area but also imbues the space with a dynamic flow, providing INFOLD’s employees with a workspace that is both functional and visually appealing.


▲前台与接待区 / Reception area

入口处的接待区域与前台紧密相连，营造出一种既轻松又略带严谨的独特氛围。地面采用灰色，与局部点缀的渐变红色地毯形成鲜明对比，清晰地区分了前台区域，同时展现出一种简约而鲜明的标识性。这种设计既保持了严谨性，又不失活力，使得访客一踏入公司便能即刻感受到企业的独特魅力和宁静的氛围。

The reception area at the entrance is seamlessly connected to the front desk, creating a unique atmosphere that is both relaxed and subtly formal. The floor features a gray tone, sharply contrasted by gradient red carpeting in select areas, clearly delineating the front desk zone while showcasing a minimalist yet distinctive identity. This design strikes a balance between professionalism and vitality, allowing visitors to immediately sense the company's unique charm and tranquil ambiance upon entering.






▲走廊的序列与节奏 / Corridor Sequence and Rhythm

走廊的地面材料与墙壁的变化，形成了视觉上的层次分明，从而营造出一种“渐进式”的空间节奏感。地面和墙壁的衔接处选用不同质感的材料，使得光线在其表面产生了柔和的反射与折射，光影随时间流动，赋予走廊一种动态的生命力。

The transition between the flooring materials and wall finishes in the corridor creates a visually distinct sense of layering, establishing a "progressive" spatial rhythm. Different textured materials are used at the junctions of the floor and walls, allowing light to softly reflect and refract on their surfaces. The interplay of light and shadow changes with the passage of time, infusing the corridor with a dynamic sense of vitality.




▲走廊连接的办公区、楼梯与打印区 / Office area, stairs and printing area connected by corridor

楼梯不仅是连接上下两层的通道，我们还在其旁还巧妙地融入了打印区和一座高耸的木质书架，为这一通常平凡的空间增添了实用性与审美价值。浅木色调与周围灰白色的环境和谐相融，营造出一种统一而和谐的视觉效果，增强了空间的整体感。这些精心的设计细节使得走廊不再仅仅是一个简单的通道，而是成为了一个连接各个功能区域的“过渡空间”。通过有节奏的设计语言，整个办公空间被巧妙地串联起来，赋予了空间更加丰富的层次感和动态的节奏。

The staircase is not merely a passage connecting the two levels; we have thoughtfully integrated a printing area and a towering wooden bookshelf beside it, adding both functionality and aesthetic value to what is typically a mundane space. The light wood tones harmonize seamlessly with the surrounding gray and white environment, creating a cohesive and unified visual effect that enhances the overall sense of the space. These carefully crafted design details transform the corridor from a simple passageway into a "transitional space" linking various functional areas. Through a rhythmic design language, the entire office space is seamlessly connected, imparting greater spatial depth and a dynamic sense of rhythm.

▲茶水区细节 / Details of pantry area

茶水间位于走廊转角处，其挑空设计确保了自然光的充分渗透，形成了一个温馨明亮的社交与休闲中心。在这个以灰白为基调的空间中，茶水间的设计为宁静的环境注入了一抹活力。中央区域铺设的渐变红色地毯充满活力，与浅木色的水吧台相辅相成，为茶水间带来了生机和温暖。这些色彩与材料的巧妙搭配，平衡了办公空间的静谧与茶水间的轻松愉悦，使整个区域既和谐统一又充满节奏感。

The pantry is located at the corner of the corridor, with a double-height design that ensures ample natural light penetration, creating a warm and bright hub for socializing and relaxation. In this gray-and-white-toned space, the pantry injects a touch of vitality into the serene environment. A gradient red carpet in the central area adds energy, complementing the light wood-toned bar counter to bring warmth and vibrancy to the space. The thoughtful combination of colors and materials strikes a balance between the tranquility of the office and the casual, cheerful ambiance of the pantry, making the entire area harmonious yet rhythmically dynamic.


光影与开敞：自然与人工光源的交织
Light and Openness: A Harmony of Natural and Artificial Lighting


▲挑空区 / Atrium

整个空间呈L型，我们通过引入垂直挑空区域和自然采光的结合，赋予了空间生命力。在走廊区域，利用内侧的开窗设计，不仅让光线自然流入，还丰富了走廊的视野和层次感。此外，走廊上方的挑空设计让自然光线从顶部落下，光影的流动随时间的变化而不断变化，为室内增添了生动的光影效果。这种设计方式不仅提升了空间的明亮度，还增强了整个办公区域的通透性，为员工提供了明亮舒适的工作环境。

The space features an L-shaped layout, brought to life through the integration of vertical double-height areas and natural lighting. In the corridor, interior windows allow natural light to flow in, enriching the corridor's visual depth and sense of layering. Additionally, the double-height design above the corridor lets sunlight cascade from above, creating a dynamic play of light and shadow that shifts throughout the day.  This approach not only enhances the brightness of the space but also improves the overall transparency of the office, providing employees with a bright and comfortable working environment.


▲二层用餐区 / Second floor dining area

二层的用餐区与挑空区域紧密相连，为员工提供了一个放松、透气的休憩场所。挑空的设计使上下层的视觉和空间相互连通，不同的功能空间在开放与私密之间取得了巧妙的平衡。

The dining area on the second floor is seamlessly connected to the double-height space, providing employees with a relaxing and airy retreat. The open design allows for visual and spatial connectivity between the upper and lower levels, achieving a delicate balance between openness and privacy across different functional areas.  




▲ 二层开放办公区/ Open office area on the second floor

二楼的开放式办公区与高挑空区域紧密相连，为员工提供了开阔的视野和流畅的空间感受。一侧的高窗与整体空间和谐融合，使得整个区域明亮通透，营造出一种极为宜人的办公环境。

The open office area on the second floor is closely integrated with the high-ceilinged space, offering employees expansive views and a smooth spatial experience. The tall windows on one side blend harmoniously with the overall design, making the entire area bright and transparent, creating a highly pleasant and inviting work environment.


沉稳与活力：细腻的色彩与材质运用
Balance of Stability and Energy: Refined Use of Colors and Materials


▲ 前台/ Reception


▲ 茶水区/ Pantry


▲ 会议室/ Meeting room

在整体空间中使用了浅灰色、白色和浅木色作为基调，营造出素雅、静谧的空间氛围，体现了大气沉稳的企业形象。为了打破这一沉静的氛围，我们在局部空间，如前台、茶水区和会议室，采用了跳跃的红色作为点缀，增添了一丝活力。灰色的背景墙、红色的地毯、黑白调的公司标志不仅在视觉上形成了层次感，还在细节处让人感受到空间的热情与创新。这种色彩搭配在体现公司专业性的同时，也为员工和访客带来了视觉上的愉悦感受。

The overall design employs light gray, white, and light wood tones as the foundation, creating an elegant and tranquil atmosphere that reflects a poised and dignified corporate image. To break the subdued tone, vibrant red accents are strategically introduced in key areas such as the reception, pantry, and meeting rooms, adding a touch of vitality. The gray background walls, red carpeting, and black-and-white company logo create a sense of visual depth while subtly conveying warmth and innovation through the details. This thoughtful color palette not only underscores the company’s professionalism but also offers employees and visitors a visually delightful experience.


开放与私密：功能空间的优化与细致分区
Openness and Privacy: Functional Optimization and Thoughtful Zoning






▲ 开放办公区/ Open office Ares

在开放办公区域，我们采用了Steelcase的家具，结合家具巧妙的隔板设计，为员工提供了一种开放但私密的工作体验。办公区域的布局既注重团队协作的便利性，又能为个人工作提供相对独立的空间。这种布局设计在保证沟通的同时，也让每位员工都能在舒适的环境中专注于工作。

In the open office area, we utilized Steelcase furniture, integrating its smart partition designs to provide employees with a work experience that balances openness and privacy. The office layout is designed to facilitate team collaboration while offering relatively independent spaces for individual tasks. This layout ensures seamless communication while allowing employees to focus in a comfortable environment.


▲ 小办公室/ Private office


▲ 放映室/ Screening room

在INFOLD洛杉矶的办公空间设计中，通过独特的布局和材质的巧妙搭配，使整个办公环境超越了传统办公空间的界限，不仅满足功能需求，还在氛围上营造出令人舒适的体验。前台区域的严谨与温馨、走廊的节奏感、茶水间的明亮与活力，逐步构建出一个富有层次感的空间。

这个空间不止是工作的场所，更是一个促进交流与创造的场域。在这里，员工们既可以专注于工作，也可以享受片刻的放松和社交时光。灵活的开放布局与精致的细节设计，在大气和沉稳的整体基调中注入了温馨与亲切，使整个办公空间散发出自然舒适的氛围。

In the design of INFOLD's Los Angeles office space, unique spatial arrangements and skillful material combinations push the boundaries of traditional office environments. The design not only meets functional needs but also creates a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The precision and warmth of the reception area, the rhythm of the corridors, and the brightness and vitality of the pantry collectively shape a space rich in layers and depth.
This space is more than just a workplace—it is a platform for fostering interaction and creativity. Here, employees can focus on their tasks while enjoying moments of relaxation and social connection. The flexible open layout, combined with exquisite design details, infuses warmth and approachability into the overall dignified and composed tone, creating an office space that exudes natural comfort and charm.
