Project Background
Wandering in the magical city of reinforced concrete, I always hope that there will be a soft corner to carry my ideals, dreams or fantasies. It is in the clouds, in the morning light, outside the 60-square-meter group rental, it is in "Book One".

Atelier d’More was commissioned to design a self-study room for Bosuer as its first store opening in Shanghai, hoping to create a soft habitat in the city where struggling people can recharge. The project is located in the northwest corner of the 10th floor of Baolong Plaza office building in Qingpu, Shanghai. It is enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the northwest and white walls on the southeast sides. It was dusk when the design team encountered the site for the first time, the sunl
The characteristics of the study room determine that it will have higher requirements in sound insulation. We hope to create a quiet study space, and provide a leisure space for users to relax as well. Our key concern in the stage of plane layout is how to arrange these functional blocks, so that each space does not interfere with each other while connection can be found in between.

In the design of the entrance image, we intend to create a visual focus point at the end of the corridor, bringing a touch of warmth and softness to the office building. The gently undulating ceiling, conceals intricate pipes, which shows an image of neat and soft. The concrete floor slabs of the original building weave through the cloud-like ceiling, as if it were a gentle utopia that grew out of a reinforced concrete city.

In the open study area, we designed different types of seats to meet different needs. Along the floor-to-ceiling glass windows at the north side are the independent seats with a good view. Each seat is separated by a translucent curtain. The curtains are arranged in a row to form the form of pages, which “cloth book” is a homonym for “not losing”.
Above the single row of self-study seats adjacent to the window seats, there are four lifting devices. The users can control the lifting through the switch on the desktop. When the device is lowered to the desktop, it blocks the interference when someone passes by and helps users focus more on their desktop.
The two-story cabins in the center of the open study area are designed to be double study rooms. We chose a translucent material as the enclosure of the first floor of the cabins to increase the hierarchy of the space, while maintaining the visual translucency. And the second floor is enclosed with wood panels to give more security.
Mind wandering can be one of the ways to get rest. The “Bird’s Nest” was created to add a resting place within a limited space. Taking advantage of the height of the building, we created a climbing space, which is accessed from the opening by a ladder, where you can either lie down and rest, or look out the window through a small hole in the side wall.
