CCD Global Headquarters, Shenzen

The design narrative intends to convey the idea that work can be a poetic process integrated with the ideals of life. The majestic posture of the horse appears elegant in the space, and its spirit is the pursuit of our design. The horse jumps out into the space yet is independent from the secular world, conveying a certain symbolic meaning.

The traditional office reception mode is dismissed, and replaced with an enclosed layout promoting communication in a relaxing and comfortable vibe. The historical photos on the wall are a tribute to the glorious memory of CCD in the past thirty years.

Every corner offers unexpected encounters with art, whether it is paintings, sculptures, or furniture. The contrast between long-standing tradition and new trend provides another possibility for the space, while shaping the designers’ lifestyle and aesthetics. The space decorated by art remains humble in the face of external clamors. With its nourishment, the space becomes romantic, intoxicating and relaxing.

“It is a pleasure to commune with flowers everyday.” The flower room is a source of energy, and a backyard of happiness and inspiration. Surrounded by plants, the staff can read, draw, or write without distraction.

The plants in the flower room subtly weaken the separation between the inside and outside. And the open connecting area becomes a place of leisure and spiritual support. The sea of flowers is an ideal place for communication, appreciating flowers, drinking tea, relieving boredom, and dreaming about the distant future.

The red bricks carry the color and temperature of the city, and inherits its historical memory. Authentic as the brick is, it is handmade by craftsman with a touch of quaintness. Thick to the touch, it faintly reveals a delicate aesthetic warmth. Traditional and crude, it is nevertheless full of cultural appeal.

“We hope everyone is interested and free in such a space, where the soul will be spontaneous, real, and appealing.” The minimalist red bricks in the pantry symbolize the desire for the essence of things and balanced emotions, an attitude of pursuing aesthetics in the most comfortable environment.

High-quality furniture and exquisite ornaments add to the luxurious and artistic atmosphere. Crossing the boundary between vintage and fashion, a polysemic and harmonious collision is created, allowing the space to break free from conventions and the mundane monotony.

The headquarters overcomes the stereotype of the traditional office that is cold, rational and orderly. Instead, it is vibrant, homey and diverse. Like a traveler’s home, each item in the space is gathered from all over the world, telling its own story. The space can accommodate work, meditation, catering, boutique shop (showroom), painting room, flower room, art exhibition, multimedia display, and leisure, etc., integrating multiple diverse businesses and lifestyles.
