글래스 오피스. 유리와 거울 그리고 그안에 담긴 공간들.
상하이에 위치한 소호 오피스는
공간의 반사, 투영, 오버랩되며 다양한 공간으로 변화한다.
이러한 공간의 다양성은 유리를 사용하며 극적인 디자인 연출방법으로 구현되며,
관찰자의 시점에 따라 공간이 깊어지고 얕아지는 시각적 경험을 이끈다.
특히 유리 넘어로 투과되는 내부의 기존 벽체, 바닥, 천장면과
외부의 광할한 상하이 시내의 풍경은 오버랩된 내부 공간과 조우를 이루며
드라마틱한 환경을 조성한다.

An all glass and mirror inner cladding exposes the infrastructure of SOHO's new office building in Shanghai. The glass creates manifold reflections of the sales models and meeting rooms, while leaving the original height and structure in view. This creates a 'double reality' that merges with the stunning views of downtown Shanghai.
Membrane ceilings create extra attention for the models. Light and surfaces reflect throughout the space, even further diffused by half see-through mirrors. Some of the floors are islands of stone or carpet, to create static moments to offset this sea of reflectivity.
As SOHO rents out the offices in this building in bare shell state, the main design idea is to show the customers what they are actually getting, and at the same time add a layer of inspiring luxury to it.
The glass-only approach allows creating a complexity that emerges from a simple choice. That is what makes this project bold and layered at the same time.
This project by AIM Architecture is part of Fuxing Plaza, a large mixed-use complex (140.000m2) that hopefully will boost more energy and surprises for the city.
Date of realisation: September 2013
Design team: Wendy Saunders, Vincent de Graaf, German Roig, Carter Chen and Jiao Yan.
Client: SOHO China
