ABOUT My design is concise, natural, and pure. I think that the concept of design should embody the essence of the project, from which genuine and original ideas can be extracted for design development. Good design should be the perfect combination of user experience and project culture.

BAY AREA LIFE STYLE

ROOTED IN NATURE

Aesop products are derived from nature, and the lifestyle in the Bay Area is very close to nature, so “contact with nature” is a design concept. In particular, the lifestyle of “post-Stoic philosophy” is very popular and is respected by many emerging technology entrepreneurs. The central idea is “root and nature, advocating spiritual life.

TOUCH WATER IN THE “WATER DREAM“ The design was inspired by my dream. In the dream, I was on a small boat and in the center of the lake. There was fog on the water, and I could see the forest in the distance. Occasionally, the sound of birds in the forest and the wooden boat drifted slowly into the distance.

CEILING PLAN

Origami can easily construct simple geometric shapes and define spaces with clear functions. The geometric shape embodies rationality and logic, and reflects the stability and order in the concept of financial investment brand.

INTERIOR WALLS

CABINETS & PANELS

“ TO BUILD A SPACE LIKE ORIGAMI.” EXPRESS THE FORM OF NETWORK AND ORDER.

INSPIRATION BY: WRINKLED PAPER The networked images remind me of the wrinkled paper surface, reminiscent of tortuous space shapes and simple lines. So shape the space with the method of origami. White reflects the sense of technology and jumps out of the serious image of traditional banks. Orange is very attractive and represents affinity and trust.
