The project: In this proposal for a future office in Changzhou, China, meeting rooms and workplaces are supported by a constellation of open, flexible and multi-functional spaces, designed to promote both wellbeing and productivity. The proposal creates a hybrid environment, where meeting rooms and workstations constitute only 30% of the masterplan, while 70% of the space is dedicated to breakaway space. The project has been driven by an analysis of climate trends, research into innovative and sustainable building materials, the local cultural environment, and the future of the workplace. The final product is a synthesis of tradition and technology, shaped by both the local environment and needs of the population.
