U Media
U Media is an office interior design covering about 100 square meters in Qingdao. The palette is based on black, white and gray, with low saturation and high brightness to create a calm and open atmosphere. An open arched doorway divides the plan while keeping the space fluid and avoiding a cramped feeling. A four-meter bar beside the arch separates functional areas and offers a place for coffee and tea. Local anti-glare lighting at 4000K brightens the desk area. Soft boards on the walls hold notes and soften the surfaces.
U Media Office by Zi Zhai has been highlighted as an innovative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award. U Media Office received the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design competition that honors superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
