Multinational investment internet holding conglomerate Tencent has quickly become one of the world’s most valuable companies. With this newfound stature, the founders approached OLI to design an elevated, wellness-focused office for the company’s Cloud Computing division.

The resulting environment reflects both the company’s stature and relatively young engineering workforce. The design emphasizes a holistic approach to office well-being and balances collaborative open spaces with individual areas for heads-down work.

The design embraces simple principles and natural materials, marking a departure from the iconographic, multi-colored interiors of Tencent’s previous offices. Long, linear tables arranged on an open-floor plan replace the traditional room and cubicle partitions. Strategic table cutouts accommodate broadleaf plants and staggered floor-to-ceiling storage units incorporate varying levels of privacy and establish distinct zones throughout the office.
