In the bustling, hectic metropolis of Beijing, people from all walks of life are on a quest for a sense of belonging and acceptance in this vast urban space, despite frustrations of anxiety and the negative effects of the urban environment, they are resolute in striving toward their goals.

With that in mind, how do we overcome the deficiencies of the city through the design of our interior spaces, especially our working environments? Through reinterpreting urban spaces at the micro scale into various formal conditions and inviting in nature, collaborative working space is dramatically redefined and diversified. A unique spatial narrative is constructed from the multitude of public and private functional spaces as one goes about their day in ideaPod. Within the micro city, the grand staircase forms the central plaza around which the gallery café serves as a public forum, inviting communication and brainstorming. A lush green wall and garden wraps around this space, creating an urban park atmosphere bathed in sunlight underneath its glass roof.

This is not simply a one of a kind creative environment, but truly a diverse urban experience condensed into 1600 square meters of interior space. This is ideaPod, a miniature city within the city where one can do something different.
