Zhejiang Shijing Tools Co., Ltd., founded in 2009, has established itself as a leader in the tiling tools sector, carving a niche within the highly competitive hardware city of Yongkang. The company’s headquarters, designed by Whale Interior Design, reflects its brand philosophy of innovation, craftsmanship, and a people-centric approach.

The office spans 4,000 square meters and is divided into two main functional zones across four floors. A striking feature is the central double-height atrium, which connects the first and second floors, enhancing spatial flow and creating a dynamic social hub for employees and visitors. This design strategy fosters interaction and visual continuity, embodying the company’s open and collaborative culture.

The entrance, clad in transparent glass, invites visitors into a welcoming space where the company’s iconic logo is immediately visible. The reception area adopts a spatial rhythm of "compression followed by expansion," with a low ceiling height at the entrance that transitions into a voluminous atrium. This layered spatial experience creates a sense of depth and grandeur, guiding visitors through an immersive journey from intimate to expansive spaces.

The third and fourth floors focus on office and R&D spaces, seamlessly integrating nature and design. The third floor is wrapped around a beautiful tiled garden, with meandering corridors that blur the line between indoor and outdoor spaces, offering employees serene, green spaces for rest and contemplation. The fourth floor continues this theme with a corridor and chairman’s office that incorporates water and stone elements, reinforcing ShiJing’s commitment to craftsmanship and continuous innovation.

Brand elements are integrated throughout the design, from the logo subtly embedded in the ceiling and flooring to the signature color palette of crimson, gray, and black. These elements emphasize the company’s commitment to excellence, from its attention to detail to its pursuit of both technical precision and aesthetic sophistication.

Whale Interior Design’s work for Zhejiang Shijing Tools Co., Ltd. creates a harmonious, functional space that aligns with the company’s vision for the future.
