8C Art Space, located on the banks of Xiangjiang River in Changsha, is the home of 8C people. Everything starts with the house number 8C -8 is "∞ infinite"; C is "Creativity creativity". On the basis of office space, designers use creativity to create a real field that can accommodate all things and can be given multiple functions.
The dome lights at the entrance create a warm homecoming atmosphere. Entering the space from the left corridor, the giant spiral staircase in the shape of life and the exposed concrete column hold up and down two floors, giving the space a sense of structure and strength. The vertical code of the Lyme stone ground guides the viewer to go deeper and deeper. Multiple rooms are distributed around the staircase: on the first floor, the reporting room, design director's office, etc. are located on the left side; the right side leads to the staff office area. On the second floor, a large study that can accommodate many people is facing the stairs. On the left side, the audio-visual room, tea room and meditation room are distributed in turn, and the atmosphere tends to be quiet. On the right is the coffee bar.
A major feature of this case is that the designer transforms the design goal from "the physical space defined by the designer" to "the spiritual moment defined by the viewer". Following intuition, designers flexibly juxtapose eastern and western furniture, domestic and overseas art works and fine handicrafts to create rich scenes and stimulate viewers' expectations or memories. The actual use needs of viewers redefine the space functions, such as office work, meeting friends, art exhibition, audio-visual salon, collection and appreciation, elegant collection, tea tasting, meditation, etc., and can be accumulated indefinitely.
Regardless of space or life, not clinging to perfection, taking the real process as beauty, and always maintaining the "unfinished" state is another important thinking that designers pass on through this case. Through the use of marble, logs, leather, silk and other natural materials, designers express the pursuit of real nature. At the same time, she emphasizes paying attention to the real needs of "things" in her heart. Compared with adding or creating new things, she gives new meaning to existing things by repairing and reorganizing them, realizing the change and sustainability of things and space and being good with ecology.
