Kris Lin International Design: Winner of World Design Awards 2025. A.Objective: To create a sales office that serves as a showcase for displaying, selling, and facilitating interactions with clients.

B.Constraints: The project has a low ceiling height of only 2.5 meters, resulting in limited vertical space, small floor area, dim indoor lighting, and poor natural light penetration.

2.INSPIRATION:

Concept:

1. Mirror:

By reflecting through mirrors, it breaks through the height limitation, visually enlarging the space, reflecting a mere 2.5M ceiling height to 5 meters or more.

B.LightWall:

The walls are made of translucent jade glass (an eco-friendly recycled material), with LED strips installed inside. The light passing through the jade glass overcomes the dimness of the space.

C.High-gloss materials:

Reflective stone materials and bright lacquer finishes expand the visual effect of the space.

3.MATERIALS:

A.Jade Glass

Jade glass is a special decorative material that combines the transparency of glass with the texture beauty of jade stone, creating a bright indoor environment.

B.Ceiling Panels: Dekton Slim Jade Stone Panels

Utilizing large-sized, lightweight, fusion, and recyclable Dekton Slim jade stone panels for ceiling and wall decoration, achieving seamless integration between the walls and ceilings, enhancing aesthetic appeal, and expanding the visual perception of space.

4.TECHNICAL PROPERTIES

A.Jade Glass

It has the characteristics of 1. translucency, 2. wear resistance, 3. zero radiation, and 4. eco-friendly recycling. It also has low maintenance costs and good visual effects.

B.DEKTON Slim Jade Rock Slab

The maximum original size is 3300X1400mm, with a thickness of only 4MM. It greatly reduces the structural load, making it applicable in various places such as ceilings, cabinets, and walls, presenting a visual aesthetic that extends from the ground to the bar ceiling.

5.INTERACTION:

Transforming a sales office with a low ceiling height of 2.5 meters and a dimly lit space into a practical and aesthetically pleasing environment involves:

1.Utilizing the reflective effect of mirrors to virtually raise the ceiling height, making the interior visually more spacious.

2.By installing LED strip lights on translucent jade stone rock panel walls, a soft glow is created, beautifying the space while enhancing brightness.

These improvements elevate the functionality of the sales office, crafting a comfortable experience space with light and visual effects.

6.RESEARCH ABSTRACT:

By strategically placing mirrored materials throughout the space, they can reflect and extend the actual 2.5-meter ceiling height to appear as if it is 5 meters or even higher, greatly expanding the space’s height visually. This makes the entire space look much more open.

7.THE CREATIVE / RESEARCH CHALLENGE:

Challenge: The project has a ceiling height of only 2.5 meters, the space is relatively small, and there is insufficient natural light, leading to poor illumination.

Mirror Reflection: By using mirrors on walls and ceilings, visually expand the space to create a more spacious feeling.

Translucent Jade Rock Slabs: Utilize translucent jade rock slabs known for their good light transmission to enhance the brightness and transparency of the space. High Gloss Materials: Employ reflective materials such as mirrored stone and high-gloss lacquer to boost light reflection, thereby increasing the brightness of the space and enhancing the visual sense of spaciousness.
