绿洲
OASIS


自然元素的融入能够显著提升客户的归属感与放松感。当人们步入一个包含天然材料、植物与自然光线的空间时，他们往往会感受到平静与舒适。

Integrating natural elements can significantly enhance the feeling of being welcome and at ease for clients. When people enter a space that incorporates natural materials, plants, and organic lighting, they often experience a sense of calm and comfort.

这种与自然的联系让人产生安全与踏实的感受，并确信自己来到了一个正确的地方——一个可以自在呼吸、放松并做回自我的环境。这样的空间有助于思维清晰、减轻压力并促进身心健康，让客户不仅在身体上感到舒适，也在情感上获得安全与信任。

This connection to nature helps them feel safe, grounded, and reassured that they have found the right place-an environment where they can truly breathe, relax, and be themselves. Such spaces promote mental clarity, reduce stress, and foster a sense of well-being, making clients feel not only physically comfortable but also emotionally secure in their surroundings.

焦点元素（龙门）
FOCUS ELEMENT (DRAGON GATE)

通过将“龙门”作为设计母题，空间得以与本地文化信仰和传统产生深刻共鸣，为体验者建立起有意义的精神连接。这一元素强化了办公空间整体的信任与和谐氛围，象征着访客与员工共同穿越的一段通道或旅程——一个令人释然、受欢迎并获得安定感的过程。它不仅是一种装饰性特征，更是象征“转化、守护与正能量”的强大符号，在空间中营造出舒适与归属的感受。

By incorporating the dragon gate as a motif, the design can resonate deeply with local cultural beliefs and traditions, creating a meaningful connection for those who experience it. This element can enhance the overall atmosphere of trust and harmony in the office, symbolizing a passage or journey that visitors and employees pass through to be relieved, welcomed, and reassured. It serves not only as a decorative feature but also as a powerful symbol of transition, protection, and positive energy, fostering a sense of comfort and belonging within the space.

关于项目
ABOUT THE PROJECT

Area-17为位于香港岛湾仔核心地带的Hugill & Ip律师事务所打造了本项目。该空间源自本地材料与香港独特工艺的融合——瓷砖、混凝土与金属交织构成空间肌理，色彩体系呼应香港的标志性色调——深绿与温暖包裹的红。以“信任的绿洲（Oasis of Trust）”为概念，项目旨在为客户传递保护感、宁静与信任，营造一个让人能够依赖细致且专业团队的空间。律所空间呈现出轻松、友好而极简的氛围，植物、艺术作品与过滤系统共同散发出温暖而积极的能量。
所选用的材料包括：
• 墙面采用微水泥饰面
• 半透明过滤玻璃隔断
• 定制地毯铺设地面
• 以定制瓷砖包裹的家具

Area-17 signs the project for the Hugill & Ip law firm in the vibrant heart of Wan Chai, on Hong Kong Island. The space is born from the meeting of local materials and the city’s characteristic craftsmanship: tiles, concrete, metal, with a color palette that recalls Hong Kong iconic hues — deep green and warm, enveloping red. The concept, called “Oasis of Trust” aims to convey a sense of protection, serenity, and confidence to clients, within a space where they can rely on attentive and skilled professionals. The law firm features a relaxed, welcoming, and minimalist atmosphere, where plants, artworks, and filtration systems emit a warm and positive energy.
The chosen materials include:
• Microcements for the walls
• Filtering glass panels
• Custom-designed carpeting for the floors
• Furniture upholstered with bespoke tiles

空间中最具标志性的建筑元素是“龙门”，它打破了天花的规律性，引导访客走向事务所的核心——一个以圆形木质书架为中心的方形空间，书架不仅用于迎宾与导向，也组织了通往会议室的流线。咖啡区设有一张长形瓷砖桌，被构思为一个多功能空间：在这里，工作、对话与思想的交流以非正式而富有活力的方式自然发生。在香港这座充满活力的都市中，Area-17为律所呈现了一种全新的愿景：不仅是一个专业的工作场所，更是一个以人为本、温暖宜人的环境——一个为幸福感与信任而设计的城市绿洲。

The distinctive architectural element is the Dragon Gate, which breaks the regularity of the ceiling and guides visitors toward the heart of the studio: a central square dominated by a circular wooden bookshelf that welcomes, orients, and distributes flows toward the meeting rooms. The coffee area, with a long tiled table, is conceived as a multifunctional space: a place where work, conversation, and idea exchanges happen in an informal and dynamic setting. In the bustling urban environment of Hong Kong, Area-17 presents a new vision for a law firm: not just a professional space, but also a warm, human-centered environment designed for wellbeing and trust.
