Regarding the creation of a diversified office space complex


Modern office spaces emphasize the organic integration of work and life, and office spaces with the core concept of "office life" have become the aspiration of contemporary professionals. Unlike traditional office spaces that are confined, modern offices advocate open design and humanized considerations, paying more attention to the diversity and comfort of the space, and hoping to provide employees with a healthy, comfortable, and efficient living office space from both physiological and psychological perspectives.

The previous work mode had only two spaces in the office: the first space was a high-density office area where employees were concentrated, and the second space was a functional area such as the supervisor space, meeting space, and reception desk. The "third space" proposed by American sociologist Ray Oldenburg has become a topic of active discussion among contemporary office designers, with public areas such as communication, dining, and rest all belonging to the third space. The third space, which combines office, leisure, and living functions, focuses on the relationship between people and space, allowing employees to experience a more free and comfortable way of working, creating a unique modern office style workplace, and is a symbol of humanized renewal.

Herman Miller, a well-known office furniture company in the United States, proposed the concept of Living Office, which reintroduces the concept of humanization into the workplace, naturally integrating factors such as people, tools, furniture, and space to bring people a higher level of work experience.

Living Office is a high-performance workplace that incorporates more personalized colors in environmental layout, decoration, and tool use. It revolves around employees' emotional perception and practical operation methods, establishes connections with all information in the space, explores the development potential of new offices, promotes innovation and execution, and helps organizations achieve their strategic goals, creating an office landscape. The evolution from the cramped grid pattern to the new office ecosystem has reconstructed modern work methods and expanded the boundaries of office space usage. In Xu Lighting's view, both ABW and Living Office are actually emphasizing the trend of office life.

Modern living offices, through a series of optimized combinations, transform standardized workstations into functional and diversified office spaces, allowing employees to have autonomy, a sense of belonging, and a sense of achievement, find their identity and purpose within the organization, and create a more productive and efficient platform.
