In Guangzhou, a vibrant city of innovation, LIXIL's international research and development center in Japan has redefined the aesthetic standards of modern office spaces with its unique design language. As a leading global manufacturer of residential equipment, LIXIL Group has teamed up with the WDS team to create a 1700 square meter limited space into a multifunctional complex that integrates office, commercial, and research and development, perfectly embodying the core concept of "ingenuity, meaningful design and products".

The perfect integration of modern simplicity and brand culture

This case adopts modern simplicity as the design technique, integrating the essence of Lixiu Group's brand culture into every detail of the space. The designer cleverly uses different elements to interweave and blend, creating an infinitely diverse sense of scene in a limited space. Through the penetration, extension, and tension shaping of space, an open, innovative, and fun filled office environment is created, which intuitively conveys the corporate spirit of "infinite tolerance and infinite creativity" of LiLi Group.

The harmonious unity of color and function

As the main office area, 2F is themed with a progressive "orange" color scheme, combining the stable and professional black, bright and transparent white, and balanced gray texture to create a low-key and layered spatial atmosphere. Color is not only used for visual differentiation, but also perfectly combined with spatial function, achieving a harmonious unity of form and function.

Front Desk Reception Area: Integration of Technology and Humanities

Entering the front hall, the eye-catching corporate logo wall and the multimedia screen embedded in the wooden veneer instantly create a strong sense of three dimensionality and technology. The concise lines outline a smooth tour route, and the exquisite materials create a high-quality welcome experience. The bright and vibrant orange, as the iconic color of LIXIL Group, runs through the entire space design and becomes the finishing touch. The booth design and artistic sculpture sofa in the rest area not only meet the functional needs of waiting for rest, but also stimulate spatial imagination through minimalist styling and high saturation color collision. The curved glass partition with a gradual rhythm breaks the constraints of linear space and creates a dynamic spatial flow.

Open office area: a flexible and diverse collaborative space

Open layout design makes the space smooth and flexible, suitable for various usage scenarios. The neatly arranged open workstations are adorned with orange partitions, and the desks and chairs are designed ergonomically to effectively reduce employee fatigue. The addition of soft decoration elements such as sound-absorbing carpets and green plants makes the space more dynamic and diverse. The setting of a leisure bar counter and independent conference call room meets the needs of employees in different work states and enhances overall work comfort.

Engineering R&D Room: Innovative Space for Light and Shadow Art

Designers use linear lighting to outline the artistic beauty of spatial flow, presenting rich visual textures with different materials and colors. The multi sensory experience from visual to tactile allows users to draw inspiration from work and life through changes in light and shadow.

The ultimate experience of design and performance

Designer's Office: Humanistic Care and Ecological Concept

The scale of each seat is optimized based on ergonomics and collaboration mode, and the ratio distribution between the negotiation area and the office area has been carefully studied, combining independence and linkage. The plant installations in the details are not only decorations, but also the intersection of nature and rationality. A large amount of local wood and environmentally friendly finishes are used to create a warm atmosphere while practicing the concept of sustainable development.

Meeting Room: Breaking the Dull Creative Space

The two in one conference room utilizes wooden elements and linear lighting on the ceiling to create a comfortable, warm, and transparent atmosphere, stimulating the imagination and vitality of attendees. The small conference room is designed with glass to dilute the boundaries and maximize the introduction of natural light and landscape, making the space orderly and transparent. Orange, as an accent color, injects vitality into the space dominated by black, white, and gray, achieving a perfect balance between visual simplicity and functional practicality.

The LIXIL Guangzhou International R&D Center is not only an office space, but also a concrete expression of LIXIL Group's brand culture and innovative spirit. Through modern minimalist design techniques and the ultimate pursuit of details, this space has become a shining pearl in Guangzhou's office architecture, showcasing the relentless pursuit of high-quality living experience by LIXIL Group.
