Leeking Beijing Office

RAMOPRIMO reconsidered the visual identity and interior decoration of the LEEGE office in Beijing. The design concept was to reconsider the functional relationships between all offices and break the boundaries of the traditional work environment. The space is designed as a blank page on which different elements are placed, with sliding walls and freely configurable spaces, like a combination game or a playground for free movement. LEEGE is headquartered in Beijing and is a fast-growing local company that provides planning and management solutions for heating, ventilation, air and water control equipment. The office is 600 square metres in an office building opposite the restored former imperial granary of the Qing dynasty. The design concept has four main proposals: open space, ensuring good visual connection between parts and providing more breathing room so that it looks larger; freedom of movement, promoting the formation of different working groups and encouraging communication among staff; no hierarchy, abandoning the traditional separation of administrative and open-plan space to explore innovative ways of working; and an office like a cafe, where the lounge and pantry become the social heart of the company. The project is a 600-square-metre office fit-out that uses sliding walls, a cafe-like social zone and a blank-canvas palette to produce a flexible, non-hierarchical workplace. It is a demonstration of how a growing engineering company can use interior design to express its open, collaborative culture, turning a standard floorplate in a Beijing tower into a series of configurable rooms that can change with the company.
