OFFICE OF WANG ARCHITECTS
Our team had the unique opportunity to acquire a mid-century building, originally constructed in the 1960s to serve as our new office space. Over the years, the structure witnessed a series of businesses that struggled within its confines, mainly due to inherent architectural challenges; being the space's deep layout and lack of natural light. These challenges became our inspiration to reimagine the space.

BEFORE
The building’s narrow and deep layout posed a significant spatial challenge. This layout often led to a long, linear arrangement that was neither functional nor inviting. Additionally, as one moved away from the front and rear windows, the space suffered from a noticeable lack of natural light, resulting in a dim and unwelcoming interior.
AFTER
In our renovation, we departed from the previous 'long and linear' approach, opting instead for a "space-binding" wall that weaves transversely through the interior. This design element elegantly organizes the space into distinct functional zones. Starting with a reception area, the wall transitions into open workspaces and leads to a conference room near the entrance. Towards the back, the wall morphs into the materials library and then delineates utilitarian spaces such as the restroom and kitchen.
