Reti will occupy the 8th and 9th loors of the Lever house, a skyscraper on Park Avenue in the heart of New York City with a green glass facade. In order to protect the building's façade, areas close to the glass façade will not be included in the design.

RETI is a socially beneicial organization founded by a group of social elites who are dedicated to various ecological activities such as shoreline protection, and include the development of some new environmental materials. Because of its public welfare nature, the design is based on the core requirement of reducing the budget.

In the eco-lab, they solve, explore, and study ecological conservation problems and make their own contributions to society.

The box is the core concept of the project, and he exists as the central meeting room in the ofice.

The elevation shows that the 8th loor is a public area and the 9th loor is a relatively semiopen and private space. For RETI wants to adopt a lexible ofice style, sometimes there is no ixed ofice staff in the public area. But sometimes it will face the public and hold group meetings. So between the 8th and 9th loors are two different forms of circulation, and furniture arrangement.

Each frame is a 35 cm square frame, when the individual stainless steel bars can be disassembled and combined at will. We can make it into tables, stools and cabinets, initially the idea came from my furniture system, but the form is borrowed from USM Haller.

Although the backrest of the stool assembled in this way is straight, not as comfortable as ergonomic, but in the current global impact of the new crown virus, the lack of staff ofice in the ofice. Part of the chair can be appropriate to save the cost of choosing a simple assembled.
