Nestled within the Western Academy of Beijing (WAB), the administration offices longed for a contemporary makeover from their traditionally segmented layout. In the revamped design, the exquisite concrete ceiling of the original structure is now unveiled, embracing an expansive open space shared by all. The office's ancillary functions, bathed in varying shades of blue, are strategically positioned along the peripheries. From elevated seating meeting zones to phone booths, copy rooms, and pantries, these side amenities encourage mobility, promoting a healthier work routine away from the desk. Echoing this blue palette, bespoke acoustic panels, evocative of a graceful assembly of seagulls in flight, further enhance the office's dynamic ambiance.
