As a high-tech company specializing in development and manufacturing of new energy and new materials, Huayou Cobalt is committed to building a world-class scientific research and innovation platform through integration, innovation and cooperation. Its research institute in this case is important for the company to achieve this goal.

Solver grey walls and light grey floors makes a harmonious atmosphere of technology and future, which represents the first impression of Huayou Cobalt’s Research Institute. As the warm sunlight strokes the marble floor, the company’s LOGO is highlighted by the vertical LED strip and spotlights, showing the composure and vibrancy of Huayou Cobalt Research Institute.

The design of the conference area on the ground floor is also dominated by a grey hue, with wooden and cambric veneer, to break the dullness of silver grey in large area, which adds a sense of relax in a composed environment, relaxing people’s nerves during the meeting.

The interior design of the main conference room uses dark wood grain walls and conference table, with dark colored chairs and carpet, creating a solemn atmosphere. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows and wood grains neutralize the sense of oppression of the environment, adding a little bit of vitality.

The furniture in the standard conference rooms from the second to the fifth floors uses conservative colors, but with brighter wood grain veneer and white walls, making the place composed and vibrant. The three scales of conference rooms: large, medium and small, fully satisfy the owner’s needs for different types of meetings.

Collaboration among various departments within an organization is necessary for large businesses and high-tech development. People are subtly influenced by the environment in the course of communications. A good environment will facilitate their connections to the departments or the company. Along the dynamic line from the lift lobby to the office, the first scene of the area is the Aqua Bar under the warm ceiling, where the streamlined sofas and round tables meet the needs of employees to rest and relax, reflecting the people-centered design and philosophy of the company.
