the Tricycle House
HOUSE PARTS OFFICE
- Xiaozhu Beijing Headquarter Office - Tricycle House
Seperating House Diagram
House Parts Office is designed to intergrate home environment into workspace, which reflect Xiaozhu’s concept. It is conceived as a house that has been divided and its parts dispersed throughout an otherwise banal office interior. It also contains tricycle converted workspaces and informal meeting areas on wheels, which are often unique living spaces found in China. Such spaces reflect Xiaozhu’s rental offerings, providing users with a wide spectrum of settings to choose from.
