Opus One Sales Office

Kris Lin Sales Office Interior Monday, 3 February 2025

Opus One

Opus One is a sales office interior located in Hangzhou, China, covering 1300 square meters. The design takes the nearby Qiantang River as its theme and brings the element of water into the interior. Wired glass screens are arranged in an array, and their semi-transparent texture gives the space a light and open feeling. In the elevator hall, staggered geometric lines and vertical forms emphasize a technological character. The audio-visual room takes the shape of a spaceship. A waterscape in the reception hall turns the garden into an indoor landscape.

Cube brick tile and mahogany wood complete the material palette. Indirect lighting was adjusted with a full-size mockup so that light reads clearly from each circle.

MT Fashion Center

MT Fashion Center is a member-only interior space used for meetings, modeling training, catwalk shows and private image creation. The design links five areas through curved surfaces made of glass reinforced gypsum, which recall melting glaciers. Walls and ceilings merge, so the boundaries between rooms appear to dissolve. The floor is finished with epoxy paint in the style of Chinese ink painting, and the pattern runs through the whole space like flowing water. Chiffon hides the technical equipment in the workshop ceiling. The project covers 270 square meters.
