YANG's Shenzhen headquarters has a total floor area of nearly 6000 square meters. Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings, it incorporates traditional Chinese gardening techniques to cleverly convey the design thinking of "nature as life, life as design", creating an aesthetic living space that is open, inclusive, collaborative and connected. Departing from the rigid planning and functions of conventional offices, it welcomes each visitor in an approachable way. It also explores the unique artistic conception of Eastern aesthetics by incorporating history, culture and art into the space to create a connection between people and the space to promote emotional resonance.
The headquarters is located in the bustling city center, yet boasts natural scenery such as Bijia Mountain and Yinhu Mountain. Although it's not a mountain retreat, it does offer mountain views. Located on the 38th and 39th floors, the office provides a working environment with panoramic views of the lush mountains at eye level.
The elevator hall is transformed into a Chinese garden corridor, evoking a sense of mystery leading to the Peach Garden. The lobby invites sunshine, cloud shadows, rolling hills and the city skyline to become part of the interior. Turning around, a “border-less library” is built along the wall, housing books on various subjects. The JIVANA coffee bar, the starry CHA PU tea lounge and the QIAO FENG tea room invite visitors to re-imagine life.
The materials library showcases innovative, eco-friendly materials from around the world for designers to select and refine. The meeting rooms, whether chic, fresh or modern, act as experimental vessels that spark a variety of inspirations.
