​Description:

As an infamous car manufacture, Porsche has its global design philosophy and architectural standards to follow. Nevertheless, the clients of HCMC branch agreed to look in a different way. Instead of being either transparent or enclosed interior, the design is catered for both. Located above Porsche showroom and workshop, the office design is inspired by its context. The new office goes for an industrial look and a layout plan refined by a grid diagram following the existing floor plan. The grid starts with its structural pillars as starting points. As a result, the two enclosed meeting rooms are located in the front and middle of the floor plan, which also helps hide the 2 pillars strangely planned there. Enclosed offices, lounge and other work stations are defined by curving lines shown in floor, partition and ceiling finishes so as to reflect the concept of this project "Code of the curve", which is a motto for their new Cayman car. This concept was also applied for the entertainment room on 3rd floor with a touch of Hybrid 919, which is described as an informal and playful space for its employees. 

 

While embracing the transparency of some public zones, other departments' workstations is divided by middle high cabinets to give the employers a sense of semi-privacy. A range of posters were planned along the public zones and meeting rooms to visually enhance the office liveliness and emphasize its branding.
