To create sustainable space for a future generation more

I really enjoyed exploring this project — it’s a great example of how a strong brand concept can be translated into interior architecture with clarity and intention.
The inspiration behind the design — hydration, elegance, and fluidity — is consistently carried through the space. You can clearly feel the influence of water in the curved lines, translucent partitions, and the overall lightness of the materials and color palette. The visual identity is subtle but present, and nothing feels forced — everything flows naturally, which fits the concept perfectly.
Spatial organization is well thought out. There’s a good balance between open and semi-private zones, and the layout supports different work styles, from focused tasks to collaborative meetings. I especially like how the circulation feels intuitive, and how each zone is defined without harsh separations.
Material choices like reflective finishes and soft cool tones work really well with the brand message. Technically, the project is also solid — from the HVAC and lighting considerations to the use of sections and diagrams that communicate the idea clearly and professionally.

Ergonomics in work zones: While the open office spaces look clean and airy, some workstations could be slightly more tailored in terms of practical use — desk depth, storage integration, and acoustics could be pushed a bit further to increase user comfort.
Lighting layering: The ambient lighting fits the mood well, but a few more layers (especially task lighting in individual work areas or accent lights on product displays) would enhance usability and create more visual rhythm.
Brand presence in furniture: There’s a strong visual identity in the space, but a bit more custom-designed furniture pieces inspired by the product forms or packaging (like the lipstick/lip gloss shapes) could elevate the storytelling and make the space even more iconic.
Textures and warmth: Given the cool-toned palette, introducing subtle textures (through textiles, matte finishes, or natural elements) could add a layer of tactile richness and help balance the sleekness with warmth.
