Leading game developer and publisher, Lilith Games, creates influential gaming experiences for players around the world. Experiencing strong growth, Lilith needed a human-centric, inspiring work environment for its expanding Shanghai workforce. To help Lilith’s people relocate into a new space that fit their evolving needs, M Moser Associates designed an innovative 20,000 sq-m work environment across three buildings.
Combining expertise from workplace strategists, designers, technologists and build experts, they generated an inventive design concept to inspire and engage. This hinged on nine different art forms including video gaming, theatre, literature, sculpture and architecture. Art installations on each floor provide wayfinding, while curated furniture and customised environmental art offer visual detail.
The functional space planning focuses on staff wellness and was informed by a series of workplace studies to understand user behaviours, work patterns and organisational culture. ‘Tatami areas’ with curtains on multiple floors provide accessible, private spaces for lunchtime napping, doubling as informal collaboration areas. Pantries and snack shelves sit at the front-of-house by a window to encourage movement and wellbeing. Curated greenery, ergonomic furniture and height-adjustable workstations prioritise a healthy, considered work experience.
To support Lilith’s culture of life-long learning and hobby-based communities, the workplace includes a music room, photo studio, film screening room and games room. A fully-equipped gym and a cat room (uniquely designed to support Lilith’ pet-friendly culture) allow staff to de-stress and regain creative energy. A spacious, two-storey café supports social events and informal working with artistically designed lighting, furniture and greenery.

With an objective to make parenthood easier, “one tiny win at a time”, Kids2 has been inventing baby products for more than 50 years. Growing its China operations to attract world-class professionals in every department and engage with various partners within its ecosystem, Kids2 required a high-performance space to not only bring staff together but create an environment that fuels innovation, creativity and transfiguring ideas within its teams and with its partners.
It was also important for Kids2 to create a space that cultivates its entire growing enterprise of entities that include a media company, multiple joint ventures and a venture capital arm.
The design concept was inspired by Kids2’s emphasis on ingenuity and its community-centric approach to create a playful and interactive environment. Bold colours sit in juxtaposition to calming and cosy neutral backgrounds, tailored furniture, careful design details and curated brand accessories.
Printing, storage and mailroom spaces have been planned along a red “ribbon” core. The design discreetly conceals these areas with key brand elements. This intuitive wayfinding creates distinct signals to users, without sacrificing the design intent.
This approach combined with the bold use of signature colour, premium materials and tailored detailing serve as an authentic nod to Kids2’s aspiration to be a design-driven company, transforming parenthood through carefully developed, holistic solutions.
Elements from traditional Chinese games including Jianzi, Tuoluo and Kongzhu, have been translated into creative signage and installations. These graphics connect the brand’s international legacy with its commitment to local consumers.
Playfulness in every encounter
Guided by a “Playground” concept, the workplace features a series of artworks inspired by local scenery, known as “Joy in the Lane”. Showcasing the brand’s products in Shanghainese Shikumen lanes, these visual elements trigger fond memories for local visitors and create an emotional connection to the brand.
Customised carpet at the front of house features a map of Shanghai, emphasising its central, premium location in the financial district. Unique, lantern-shaped lighting pays homage to Chinese culture.
Other culturally influenced items to engage and delight include knot pillows, sponge holders and small food baskets. To reinforce branding and humanise the workplace experience, the team curated a series of accessories such as water bottles, cups and felt coasters.
Manifesting Kids2’s innovative spirit, the reconfigurable work areas feature multiple flexible, modular set-ups to support different creative activities.
A carousel showcase stage in the product showroom takes visitors on an interactive journey to experience a series of products ranging from entertainers, swings to toys and play mats. Flexible lighting, hangers and graphics support the display of a variety of products in a versatile environment.
An immersive digital journey
Digital storytelling was a critical component. Kids2 wanted to create a seamless experience for developing engaging digital content.
Upon arrival, visitors are greeted in a lounge area featuring biophilic elements. This sets a bold sustainability statement against a backdrop of the spectacular Shanghai skyline. As the journey unfolds, visitors can capture a selfie that is organically embedded on the “face mosaic” LED screen. This celebrates each unique visit and the organisation’s philosophy of “tiny wins.”
The digital experience area features four projection set-ups and acoustic facilities for a seamless, immersive experience. Supporting AR integration, it takes visitors on an interactive journey to explore brand stories, the latest product prototypes and other digital content.
Activating engaging learning sessions and addressing space limitations, the showroom is equipped with iPad displays for easy digital access to Kids2’s brand portfolios: Baby Einstein, Ingenuity, and Bright Starts.
Hand in hand with Kids2 stakeholders, M Moser’s multi-disciplinary team delivered a WELL-targeted, high-performance workplace. This culturally resonant space champions brand story and business ambition while strengthening connection with customers and partners in China.

The Abbott Customer Experience Center (CEC) will foster a customer focused show-suite and training center with state-of-the-art interactive technology. In lieu of a traditional reception desk, the lobby welcomes visitors with a two-story modular digital LED tile wall, surrounding speakers, a hanging art-sculpture with customer-engaging audio-visual hardware, and a cantilevered continuous staircase the spans the entire vertical stretch of the building. We designed in a 50-person auditorium, executive business center, an exterior roof terrace, garden, staff workplace, call center, and fully functioning biosafety training labs.
Achieving a rating of LEED Silver, this facility represents the company’s commitment to sustainability, wellness, and a human-centered purpose to healthcare science.
Founded on the belief that all design should deliver a human connection with space, we begin our process with a deep-dive exploration of what emotional reactions would align with core business objectives. If the desired effect is comfort, excitement, playful, cheerful, confidence, boldness, intimacy, or even an uncomfortable awkwardness, this informs specific properties of scale, materiality, colors, spatial adjacencies, lighting and furniture selections.
The Abbott CEC is designed with the human experience in mind first — driving the technology integration, user interface, materials, and the interior architecture.
During the 6-month design period, a carefully constructed customer journey was mapped out through working intimately with Abbott and consultants to gain a deep understanding of their business. The journey outlined the experiences and interface for the users (customers) at each “touch point”. This then informed the architectural design of the space.
The 6 x 8 x 2.4h meter “Möbius strip” or “Infinite Ribbon” sculpture was created as an iconic arrival point for customers in the lobby, to inspire curiosity and push information about Abbott. The structure is completely hung from the ceiling and cantilevered from the core wall. Guests can walk inside and thru motion sensors, the LED display screens and background audio immediately come alive. Videos are played on screens on both sides. Gesture-based menu interaction is also available for a more customized experience.
The stair is at the heart of connectivity between floor functions and the vertical journey experience. Guests walk up the stair with an obscure view up thru “floating” landings to the fourth floor. New slab openings, structural bracing, and each stair run and landing is fully cantilevered from the building core, with only 1 larger support at the base. The first 3 steps of the stair were created as landings to hide this support.
The Customer Experience Center begins on the second floor. The “Hall of Challenges” disrupts guests perception of space through a long corridor with light in motion, reflection, intense sound effects, and digital images on screen beyond. This experience was designed to disconnect customers from their previous surroundings and into a fully immersive new space which begged for their attention.
The other rooms of the Experience Center include a curved floor-to-ceiling rear projection screen, dramatic surround sound, 48-point ‘Multitaction’ touch screen, ceiling light effects, a virtual environment with rear projection on all four walls of the room (where any environment could be presented), product demo area, and an interactive customer solution room.

The Abbott Customer Experience Center (CEC) will foster a customer focused show-suite and training center with state-of-the-art interactive technology. In lieu of a traditional reception desk, the lobby welcomes visitors with a two-story modular digital LED tile wall, surrounding speakers, a hanging art-sculpture with customer-engaging audio-visual hardware, and a cantilevered continuous staircase the spans the entire vertical stretch of the building. We designed in a 50-person auditorium, executive business center, an exterior roof terrace, garden, staff workplace, call center, and fully functioning biosafety training labs.
Achieving a rating of LEED Silver, this facility represents the company’s commitment to sustainability, wellness, and a human-centered purpose to healthcare science.
Founded on the belief that all design should deliver a human connection with space, we begin our process with a deep-dive exploration of what emotional reactions would align with core business objectives. If the desired effect is comfort, excitement, playful, cheerful, confidence, boldness, intimacy, or even an uncomfortable awkwardness, this informs specific properties of scale, materiality, colors, spatial adjacencies, lighting and furniture selections.

In just three months, WeWork transformed the ninth floor of the Standard Chartered Tower in Hong Kong into a space that inspires creativity and collaboration.
For SC Ventures to be an agent of change within the company, they needed a bright, modern space that would inspire innovation and creativity, foster collaboration, and increase team efficiency—as soon as possible.
Standard Chartered partnered with WeWork to transform that floor, via the Powered by We process, into an innovation hub and collaborative workspace dubbed the “eXellerator Lab.”
The eXellerator Lab includes flexible classrooms, different types of meeting rooms, and even a large lounge to accommodate a wide range of events and day-to-day workshops. The design incorporates Standard Chartered’s brand colors, as well as nods to local Hong Kong culture.
Standard Chartered has taken full advantage of the new space, hosting events and working cross-functionally to develop new products. From revamping their call centers to developing a web chatbot and relaunching their mobile app, the eXellerator Lab is already generating returns for Standard Chartered.

Located on one of Shanghai’s oldest commercial street, Huaihai Road, WeWork Huaihai Mall location is decorated with traditional old Shanghai elements. The wide hall space is divided by functional pillars. The artistic painting on the pillars imitating the old Shanghai Shikumen's exterior wall brings a nostalgic feeling into the contemporary space.

WeWork Standard Chartered Bank Tower is adjecent to the Lujiazui Financial District. The design aims to blend the elements of nature into the working space.

Located at 97 Songren Road, Taipei, adjacent to the famous Taipei 101 Building, WeWork’s first community in Taiwan was located in the Xinyi core business district where corporate headquarters gathered and department stores lined.

Zhenro Group is one of the largest real estate development companies in China. When designing office space for him, Kokaistudios set his sights on Zhenro Group's advantages and expertise of "city". This five-story office building blurs the boundaries between public and private space, inspired by the landmark landscape in the city, to guide visitors and employees on a city tour. The design once again enhances the original abundant natural light in the building and optimizes a series of office facilities; combining modern office needs, traditional Chinese traditional elements and flexible functions to achieve the best results.
The project is located in the Hongqiao area in the west of Shanghai, with a construction area of about 14,000 square meters. It is not only the workplace of the employees of Zhenro Group, but also has become an exhibition space that reflects the corporate culture of Zhenro Group through regular display of company projects and plans. Therefore, the lobby space is inspired by the "museum": the design focuses on the light and bright terrazzo floor, white GRG columns, and the open spiral staircase of natural wood finishes, adding grandeur to the space. The soft film ceiling combined with the green leaf shape, while introducing rich natural light, creates an open impression for the city and its residents.
Leaving the public-facing lobby, we come to the staff restaurant on the first-floor. The south-facing space makes full use of the floor-to-ceiling glass, allowing diners to enjoy the outdoor beauty.
The second floor, as a conference space, marks the transition from public space to semi-private space. Contrary to the open and bright space of the lobby, this area is imagined as a dim theater. Each room is different in size, but is decorated in the same dark gray tone and soundproof materials, ensuring privacy for meetings and presentations.
The third and fourth floors contain a variety of functions and facilities, which can serve as flexible open office areas, informal meeting areas, and semi-closed spaces. At the southern end of the building, Kokaistudios has ingeniously changed the basic functions of the regular office and created an impressive "auditorium"; the space spans two floors with high bookshelves on both sides, evoking the imagination of another place in the city: the library. Its terraced seats can be used for large meetings and lectures, and also for people to read and learn. For additional flexibility, the space is separated from the main space by a foldable partition screen by a glass conference room, just like bookmarks separate book pages, and can be used as a lectern when needed.
The fifth floor provides office space for the most senior management of Zhenro Group, and the design style is also significantly different from other floors. Inspired by Guandi, the courtyard, fountain and traditional dark wooden furniture are reminiscent of the seclusion and tranquility of Chinese classical gardens and private residences. While providing a practical working environment for the senior management team, this space also pays tribute to traditional Chinese culture.
The people-oriented workplace is part of the global design trend. Zhenro Headquarters takes health, lifestyle and other elements into consideration, while optimizing production efficiency and bringing benefits to employees. This includes open office spaces that facilitate collaboration, an employee restaurant with views of the park, and indoor vertical plant walls to bring warmth to the space.
The design combines these elements to create a functional and flexible working space that reflects Zhenro's core service concept: improving the quality of urban life. Kokaistudios sees this project as an interesting challenge and opportunity.
It has designed a “mini-city” in Shanghai, a metropolis that reshapes the contemporary working environment in a way that reflects both tradition and functional requirements.

The Richemont retail academy has re-opened within the grounds of the Huaihailu 796 complex; the UNESCO award winning complex designed by Kokaistudios that opened in 2008. As the central retail training lab for all of the brands owned by the Compagnie Financiere Richemont; the world's second largest luxury conglomerate; Kokaistudios developed an innovative and welcoming interior design concept as a continuation of our long cooperation with Richemont that extends from architectural design to the development of global retail concepts and roll-outs.
The project occupies the 2nd floor of the office building that lies to the Northof the historic Twin Villas that house the Maison Vacheron Constantin, the Alfred Dunhill Home and the Kee Club. In accordance with Richemont Group's value, the design of the retail academy emphasizes upon growing synergies between multiple brands and passing on common message of the group.
The layout of the two-story training academy was essentially composed of five parts, including two reception and waiting areason each floor, two corridor and lounge areas on each floor, office on the second floor, pantry & computer area and training class rooms on each floor.

The Shanghai office of Mindshare, a global media and marketing services company, was designed by PDM International with artwork by The Orangeblowfish.
The contrasting elements that make up the space, light and dark, colorful and subdued, serve to create an eye-catching design. The sitting area near the front entrance is styled with modern furniture.
The open stairwell goes up vertically for six floors, a remarkable engineering achievement. Sitting areas alongside the floor-to-ceiling windows; natural light brightens up the space together with chic light fixtures. Grey brick walls help to define a communal space where employees can sit for a break or to enjoy a meal.

Leading game developer and publisher, Lilith Games, creates influential gaming experiences for players around the world. Experiencing strong growth, Lilith needed a human-centric, inspiring work environment for its expanding Shanghai workforce. To help Lilith’s people relocate into a new space that fit their evolving needs, M Moser Associates designed an innovative 20,000 sq-m work environment across three buildings.
Combining expertise from workplace strategists, designers, technologists and build experts, they generated an inventive design concept to inspire and engage. This hinged on nine different art forms including video gaming, theatre, literature, sculpture and architecture. Art installations on each floor provide wayfinding, while curated furniture and customised environmental art offer visual detail.
The functional space planning focuses on staff wellness and was informed by a series of workplace studies to understand user behaviours, work patterns and organisational culture. ‘Tatami areas’ with curtains on multiple floors provide accessible, private spaces for lunchtime napping, doubling as informal collaboration areas. Pantries and snack shelves sit at the front-of-house by a window to encourage movement and wellbeing. Curated greenery, ergonomic furniture and height-adjustable workstations prioritise a healthy, considered work experience.
To support Lilith’s culture of life-long learning and hobby-based communities, the workplace includes a music room, photo studio, film screening room and games room. A fully-equipped gym and a cat room (uniquely designed to support Lilith’ pet-friendly culture) allow staff to de-stress and regain creative energy. A spacious, two-storey café supports social events and informal working with artistically designed lighting, furniture and greenery.

With an objective to make parenthood easier, “one tiny win at a time”, Kids2 has been inventing baby products for more than 50 years. Growing its China operations to attract world-class professionals in every department and engage with various partners within its ecosystem, Kids2 required a high-performance space to not only bring staff together but create an environment that fuels innovation, creativity and transfiguring ideas within its teams and with its partners.
It was also important for Kids2 to create a space that cultivates its entire growing enterprise of entities that include a media company, multiple joint ventures and a venture capital arm.
The design concept was inspired by Kids2’s emphasis on ingenuity and its community-centric approach to create a playful and interactive environment. Bold colours sit in juxtaposition to calming and cosy neutral backgrounds, tailored furniture, careful design details and curated brand accessories.
Printing, storage and mailroom spaces have been planned along a red “ribbon” core. The design discreetly conceals these areas with key brand elements. This intuitive wayfinding creates distinct signals to users, without sacrificing the design intent.
This approach combined with the bold use of signature colour, premium materials and tailored detailing serve as an authentic nod to Kids2’s aspiration to be a design-driven company, transforming parenthood through carefully developed, holistic solutions.
Elements from traditional Chinese games including Jianzi, Tuoluo and Kongzhu, have been translated into creative signage and installations. These graphics connect the brand’s international legacy with its commitment to local consumers.
Playfulness in every encounter
Guided by a “Playground” concept, the workplace features a series of artworks inspired by local scenery, known as “Joy in the Lane”. Showcasing the brand’s products in Shanghainese Shikumen lanes, these visual elements trigger fond memories for local visitors and create an emotional connection to the brand.
Customised carpet at the front of house features a map of Shanghai, emphasising its central, premium location in the financial district. Unique, lantern-shaped lighting pays homage to Chinese culture.
Other culturally influenced items to engage and delight include knot pillows, sponge holders and small food baskets. To reinforce branding and humanise the workplace experience, the team curated a series of accessories such as water bottles, cups and felt coasters.
Manifesting Kids2’s innovative spirit, the reconfigurable work areas feature multiple flexible, modular set-ups to support different creative activities.
A carousel showcase stage in the product showroom takes visitors on an interactive journey to experience a series of products ranging from entertainers, swings to toys and play mats. Flexible lighting, hangers and graphics support the display of a variety of products in a versatile environment.
An immersive digital journey
Digital storytelling was a critical component. Kids2 wanted to create a seamless experience for developing engaging digital content.
Upon arrival, visitors are greeted in a lounge area featuring biophilic elements. This sets a bold sustainability statement against a backdrop of the spectacular Shanghai skyline. As the journey unfolds, visitors can capture a selfie that is organically embedded on the “face mosaic” LED screen. This celebrates each unique visit and the organisation’s philosophy of “tiny wins.”
The digital experience area features four projection set-ups and acoustic facilities for a seamless, immersive experience. Supporting AR integration, it takes visitors on an interactive journey to explore brand stories, the latest product prototypes and other digital content.
Activating engaging learning sessions and addressing space limitations, the showroom is equipped with iPad displays for easy digital access to Kids2’s brand portfolios: Baby Einstein, Ingenuity, and Bright Starts.
Hand in hand with Kids2 stakeholders, M Moser’s multi-disciplinary team delivered a WELL-targeted, high-performance workplace. This culturally resonant space champions brand story and business ambition while strengthening connection with customers and partners in China.

Upon arrival, visitors are greeted in a lounge area featuring biophilic elements. This sets a bold sustainability statement against a backdrop of the spectacular Shanghai skyline. As the journey unfolds, visitors can capture a selfie that is organically embedded on the “face mosaic” LED screen. This celebrates each unique visit and the organisation’s philosophy of “tiny wins.”
The digital experience area features four projection set-ups and acoustic facilities for a seamless, immersive experience. Supporting AR integration, it takes visitors on an interactive journey to explore brand stories, the latest product prototypes and other digital content.
Activating engaging learning sessions and addressing space limitations, the showroom is equipped with iPad displays for easy digital access to Kids2’s brand portfolios: Baby Einstein, Ingenuity, and Bright Starts.
Hand in hand with Kids2 stakeholders, M Moser’s multi-disciplinary team delivered a WELL-targeted, high-performance workplace. This culturally resonant space champions brand story and business ambition while strengthening connection with customers and partners in China.
With an objective to make parenthood easier, “one tiny win at a time”, Kids2 has been inventing baby products for more than 50 years. Growing its China operations to attract world-class professionals in every department and engage with various partners within its ecosystem, Kids2 required a high-performance space to not only bring staff together but create an environment that fuels innovation, creativity and transfiguring ideas within its teams and with its partners.
It was also important for Kids2 to create a space that cultivates its entire growing enterprise of entities that include a media company, multiple joint ventures and a venture capital arm.
The design concept was inspired by Kids2’s emphasis on ingenuity and its community-centric approach to create a playful and interactive environment. Bold colours sit in juxtaposition to calming and cosy neutral backgrounds, tailored furniture, careful design details and curated brand accessories.
Printing, storage and mailroom spaces have been planned along a red “ribbon” core. The design discreetly conceals these areas with key brand elements. This intuitive wayfinding creates distinct signals to users, without sacrificing the design intent.
This approach combined with the bold use of signature colour, premium materials and tailored detailing serve as an authentic nod to Kids2’s aspiration to be a design-driven company, transforming parenthood through carefully developed, holistic solutions.
Elements from traditional Chinese games including Jianzi, Tuoluo and Kongzhu, have been translated into creative signage and installations. These graphics connect the brand’s international legacy with its commitment to local consumers.
Playfulness in every encounter
Guided by a “Playground” concept, the workplace features a series of artworks inspired by local scenery, known as “Joy in the Lane”. Showcasing the brand’s products in Shanghainese Shikumen lanes, these visual elements trigger fond memories for local visitors and create an emotional connection to the brand.
Customised carpet at the front of house features a map of Shanghai, emphasising its central, premium location in the financial district. Unique, lantern-shaped lighting pays homage to Chinese culture.
Other culturally influenced items to engage and delight include knot pillows, sponge holders and small food baskets. To reinforce branding and humanise the workplace experience, the team curated a series of accessories such as water bottles, cups and felt coasters.
Manifesting Kids2’s innovative spirit, the reconfigurable work areas feature multiple flexible, modular set-ups to support different creative activities.
A carousel showcase stage in the product showroom takes visitors on an interactive journey to experience a series of products ranging from entertainers, swings to toys and play mats. Flexible lighting, hangers and graphics support the display of a variety of products in a versatile environment.

The Abbott Customer Experience Center (CEC) will foster a customer focused show-suite and training center with state-of-the-art interactive technology. In lieu of a traditional reception desk, the lobby welcomes visitors with a two-story modular digital LED tile wall, surrounding speakers, a hanging art-sculpture with customer-engaging audio-visual hardware, and a cantilevered continuous staircase the spans the entire vertical stretch of the building. We designed in a 50-person auditorium, executive business center, an exterior roof terrace, garden, staff workplace, call center, and fully functioning biosafety training labs.
Achieving a rating of LEED Silver, this facility represents the company’s commitment to sustainability, wellness, and a human-centered purpose to healthcare science.
Founded on the belief that all design should deliver a human connection with space, we begin our process with a deep-dive exploration of what emotional reactions would align with core business objectives. If the desired effect is comfort, excitement, playful, cheerful, confidence, boldness, intimacy, or even an uncomfortable awkwardness, this informs specific properties of scale, materiality, colors, spatial adjacencies, lighting and furniture selections.
The Abbott CEC is designed with the human experience in mind first — driving the technology integration, user interface, materials, and the interior architecture.
During the 6-month design period, a carefully constructed customer journey was mapped out through working intimately with Abbott and consultants to gain a deep understanding of their business. The journey outlined the experiences and interface for the users (customers) at each “touch point”. This then informed the architectural design of the space.
The 6 x 8 x 2.4h meter “Möbius strip” or “Infinite Ribbon” sculpture was created as an iconic arrival point for customers in the lobby, to inspire curiosity and push information about Abbott. The structure is completely hung from the ceiling and cantilevered from the core wall. Guests can walk inside and thru motion sensors, the LED display screens and background audio immediately come alive. Videos are played on screens on both sides. Gesture-based menu interaction is also available for a more customized experience.
The stair is at the heart of connectivity between floor functions and the vertical journey experience. Guests walk up the stair with an obscure view up thru “floating” landings to the fourth floor. New slab openings, structural bracing, and each stair run and landing is fully cantilevered from the building core, with only 1 larger support at the base. The first 3 steps of the stair were created as landings to hide this support.
The Customer Experience Center begins on the second floor. The “Hall of Challenges” disrupts guests perception of space through a long corridor with light in motion, reflection, intense sound effects, and digital images on screen beyond. This experience was designed to disconnect customers from their previous surroundings and into a fully immersive new space which begged for their attention.
The other rooms of the Experience Center include a curved floor-to-ceiling rear projection screen, dramatic surround sound, 48-point ‘Multitaction’ touch screen, ceiling light effects, a virtual environment with rear projection on all four walls of the room (where any environment could be presented), product demo area, and an interactive customer solution room.

In just three months, WeWork transformed the ninth floor of the Standard Chartered Tower in Hong Kong into a space that inspires creativity and collaboration.
For SC Ventures to be an agent of change within the company, they needed a bright, modern space that would inspire innovation and creativity, foster collaboration, and increase team efficiency—as soon as possible.
Standard Chartered partnered with WeWork to transform that floor, via the Powered by We process, into an innovation hub and collaborative workspace dubbed the “eXellerator Lab.”
The eXellerator Lab includes flexible classrooms, different types of meeting rooms, and even a large lounge to accommodate a wide range of events and day-to-day workshops. The design incorporates Standard Chartered’s brand colors, as well as nods to local Hong Kong culture.
Standard Chartered has taken full advantage of the new space, hosting events and working cross-functionally to develop new products. From revamping their call centers to developing a web chatbot and relaunching their mobile app, the eXellerator Lab is already generating returns for Standard Chartered.

Zhenro Group is one of the largest real estate development companies in China. When designing office space for him, Kokaistudios set his sights on Zhenro Group's advantages and expertise of "city". This five-story office building blurs the boundaries between public and private space, inspired by the landmark landscape in the city, to guide visitors and employees on a city tour. The design once again enhances the original abundant natural light in the building and optimizes a series of office facilities; combining modern office needs, traditional Chinese traditional elements and flexible functions to achieve the best results.
The project is located in the Hongqiao area in the west of Shanghai, with a construction area of about 14,000 square meters. It is not only the workplace of the employees of Zhenro Group, but also has become an exhibition space that reflects the corporate culture of Zhenro Group through regular display of company projects and plans. Therefore, the lobby space is inspired by the "museum": the design focuses on the light and bright terrazzo floor, white GRG columns, and the open spiral staircase of natural wood finishes, adding grandeur to the space. The soft film ceiling combined with the green leaf shape, while introducing rich natural light, creates an open impression for the city and its residents.
Leaving the public-facing lobby, we come to the staff restaurant on the first-floor. The south-facing space makes full use of the floor-to-ceiling glass, allowing diners to enjoy the outdoor beauty.
The second floor, as a conference space, marks the transition from public space to semi-private space. Contrary to the open and bright space of the lobby, this area is imagined as a dim theater. Each room is different in size, but is decorated in the same dark gray tone and soundproof materials, ensuring privacy for meetings and presentations.
The third and fourth floors contain a variety of functions and facilities, which can serve as flexible open office areas, informal meeting areas, and semi-closed spaces. At the southern end of the building, Kokaistudios has ingeniously changed the basic functions of the regular office and created an impressive "auditorium"; the space spans two floors with high bookshelves on both sides, evoking the imagination of another place in the city: the library. Its terraced seats can be used for large meetings and lectures, and also for people to read and learn. For additional flexibility, the space is separated from the main space by a foldable partition screen by a glass conference room, just like bookmarks separate book pages, and can be used as a lectern when needed.
The fifth floor provides office space for the most senior management of Zhenro Group, and the design style is also significantly different from other floors. Inspired by Guandi, the courtyard, fountain and traditional dark wooden furniture are reminiscent of the seclusion and tranquility of Chinese classical gardens and private residences. While providing a practical working environment for the senior management team, this space also pays tribute to traditional Chinese culture.
The people-oriented workplace is part of the global design trend. Zhenro Headquarters takes health, lifestyle and other elements into consideration, while optimizing production efficiency and bringing benefits to employees. This includes open office spaces that facilitate collaboration, an employee restaurant with views of the park, and indoor vertical plant walls to bring warmth to the space.
The design combines these elements to create a functional and flexible working space that reflects Zhenro's core service concept: improving the quality of urban life. Kokaistudios sees this project as an interesting challenge and opportunity.
It has designed a “mini-city” in Shanghai, a metropolis that reshapes the contemporary working environment in a way that reflects both tradition and functional requirements.

This five-story office building blurs the boundaries between public and private space, inspired by the landmark landscape in the city, to guide visitors and employees on a city tour. The design once again enhances the original abundant natural light in the building and optimizes a series of office facilities; combining modern office needs, traditional Chinese traditional elements and flexible functions to achieve the best results.
The project is located in the Hongqiao area in the west of Shanghai, with a construction area of about 14,000 square meters. It is not only the workplace of the employees of Zhenro Group, but also has become an exhibition space that reflects the corporate culture of Zhenro Group through regular display of company projects and plans. Therefore, the lobby space is inspired by the "museum": the design focuses on the light and bright terrazzo floor, white GRG columns, and the open spiral staircase of natural wood finishes, adding grandeur to the space. The soft film ceiling combined with the green leaf shape, while introducing rich natural light, creates an open impression for the city and its residents.
Leaving the public-facing lobby, we come to the staff restaurant on the first-floor. The south-facing space makes full use of the floor-to-ceiling glass, allowing diners to enjoy the outdoor beauty.
The second floor, as a conference space, marks the transition from public space to semi-private space. Contrary to the open and bright space of the lobby, this area is imagined as a dim theater. Each room is different in size, but is decorated in the same dark gray tone and soundproof materials, ensuring privacy for meetings and presentations.
The third and fourth floors contain a variety of functions and facilities, which can serve as flexible open office areas, informal meeting areas, and semi-closed spaces. At the southern end of the building, Kokaistudios has ingeniously changed the basic functions of the regular office and created an impressive "auditorium"; the space spans two floors with high bookshelves on both sides, evoking the imagination of another place in the city: the library. Its terraced seats can be used for large meetings and lectures, and also for people to read and learn. For additional flexibility, the space is separated from the main space by a foldable partition screen by a glass conference room, just like bookmarks separate book pages, and can be used as a lectern when needed.
The fifth floor provides office space for the most senior management of Zhenro Group, and the design style is also significantly different from other floors. Inspired by Guandi, the courtyard, fountain and traditional dark wooden furniture are reminiscent of the seclusion and tranquility of Chinese classical gardens and private residences. While providing a practical working environment for the senior management team, this space also pays tribute to traditional Chinese culture.
The people-oriented workplace is part of the global design trend. Zhenro Headquarters takes health, lifestyle and other elements into consideration, while optimizing production efficiency and bringing benefits to employees. This includes open office spaces that facilitate collaboration, an employee restaurant with views of the park, and indoor vertical plant walls to bring warmth to the space.
The design combines these elements to create a functional and flexible working space that reflects Zhenro's core service concept: improving the quality of urban life. Kokaistudios sees this project as an interesting challenge and opportunity.

The Richemont retail academy has re-opened within the grounds of the Huaihailu 796 complex; the UNESCO award winning complex designed by Kokaistudios that opened in 2008. As the central retail training lab for all of the brands owned by the Compagnie Financiere Richemont; the world's second largest luxury conglomerate; Kokaistudios developed an innovative and welcoming interior design concept as a continuation of our long cooperation with Richemont that extends from architectural design to the development of global retail concepts and roll-outs.
The project occupies the 2nd floor of the office building that lies to the Northof the historic Twin Villas that house the Maison Vacheron Constantin, the Alfred Dunhill Home and the Kee Club. In accordance with Richemont Group's value, the design of the retail academy emphasizes upon growing synergies between multiple brands and passing on common message of the group.
The layout of the two-story training academy was essentially composed of five parts, including two reception and waiting areason each floor, two corridor and lounge areas on each floor, office on the second floor, pantry & computer area and training class rooms on each floor. The rectangular shaped floor plate is mainly defined by patterned glass partition and signature wood panels.
The second floor gives forth instant youthfulness and vitality. Fun Spun Seats from Magis and a communal table are placed in the center of the lounge area, matching with vivid grass green rug. On each side of the central area, blue high-back sofas by Buzzi Space are installed, which can function as informal meeting space. People can easily come together and share information with privacy.
The third floor is elegant in style with innovative contemporary furniture. In the lounge area, the designer mixed Ro chair from Fritz Hansen, Alcove sofa from Vitra and fabric surfaced stools to create a flexible meeting, reading and relaxation space. Training classrooms are located beyond the glass partition. The translucent dotted glass adds vibrancy and provides privacy. Each classroom is separated by removable walls which are sound proof.
