About Novelty Sprouts Office Space
Novelty Sprouts is an office interior design for a company headquarters in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The lobby combines a polished marble floor with a silver fox stone wall in a minimal style. A showcase with a glass wall displays company trophies and opens the view into the international conference hall. The conference room can be divided by a soundproof mobile partition wall of grey back painted glass. A half outdoor courtyard, a bar section and a lounge were added. Roller blinds soften the natural light. A tree pattern on the main wall is partly hollow to let daylight pass through.

- Unique Properties
- The polish marble floor and the silver fox stone wall formed the outstanding lobby while retaining the spirit of minimalism. The showcase at the end of the hall reveals the companys glory and honor to the guests without reservation. However, the trophies in the showcase will not be the only focus for the guests. With the see through glass wall of the showcase, the guests can directly look into the protagonist of this project, The International Conference Hall, expanding the visual effect and space into the next level.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The interior area of this project is about 628 square feet.

- Production Technology
- The designer added a new half outdoor courtyard, a tasteful bar section, a lounge, and a meeting area. We used roller blinds to soften the natural light and introduce it to the entire space. There are also lift top tables near the windows. As for the tree pattern on the main wall, some parts of the pattern used the hollow design to allow natural light to shine through. The other parts are installed with the reflecting grey glass, creating this illusion dimension for the bar section.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge of this case was breaking up the original space and matching the interior textures. From dismantling office partitions to rearranging the entire facilities for this nearly 35 square foot space. This project can be considered rather tremendous, up to a dozen of textures including stone and quartz intertwine with the designing details, creating a diverse yet harmonized atmosphere.
- Project Duration
- The project started in July 2018 and finished in November 2019 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- Embrace the Nature to Ease the Working Stress. After the rearrangement for the office space, the conference room is expanded and furnished with nonstationary Audio/Visual equipment and soundproof mobile partition wall. The mobile partition wall can divide the conference room into two in a more flexible way. Both side of the partition wall are made from grey back painted glasses, giving out the expanding effect for space through the reflection.
- Research
- The main wall's slope penetrates the courtyard section, magnifying the actual space with optical illusion to emphasize the CEO office on the other side. The matte golden painted glass partition and the electric curtains light up the room, while they resonate with the idea of co-prosperity between the employer and employees. The vast wine goblet-shaped entrance symbolizes the quality of confidence and embracement.
- Inspiration
- With this more spontaneous use of space, the headquarters of traditional businesses can fully demonstrate their international perspective and vision. The designer has rearranged the space planning, and added more diverse textures and unique elements. The entire office space has been given a new life with more personality and the touch of nature.
