We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Alain Wong about their original and creative Commercial design work. Alain Wong is an award-winning architectural designer, that makes our world a better place with their original commercial works.
Alain Wong ("AW") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Landscape in Bustling City Commercial. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
AW : To integrate artistry with functionality. Inspired by the idea of landscape as the office is located in the city centre and surrounded by lots of tall buildings. Therefore the designer would like to create a comfortable and "natural" working environment which is contrast to yet connecting with the street view. The designer used an environmental-friendly material in natural wood color to represent the interior "natural landscape"therefore enhance the contrast, while the large pieces of windows and glass partitions allow natural light steaming through and it created the connection.
AW : Interior design always works within boundaries and has been hidden in bustling city landscape. Because of these boundaries, the connections between internal spaces, people and the city landscape have been segregated apart. In this project, the designer wanted to put emphasis on such connections and therefore used point-to-point method to define internal landscape and to re-create linkages to connect internal design, people and city landscape back together.
AW : About 2-3weeks for the design, but some details were fine tuned during construction, in term of the best practical needs.
AW : It's COMODO's office.
AW : Company expanded and needed a larger new office, so it was the chance to have a brand new look of the office which previously was black-and-white.
AW : Those need interior design for commercial projects.
AW : The concept behind. Perhaps also the idea of integrating the "landscape" with the partitions.
AW : It tells the concept behind: a "natural landscape" in such busy city landscape with lots of compact and tall building.
AW : Both the contrast and connection have been created in a harmonious way.
AW : The form of the landscape was one of the challanges. It is about architecture and lots of details of the form have to be minded.
AW : It's a new try of design for COMODO. Staff and clients like it, but a competition or award is a recognition from professionals, the public and fellows.
