Fuxing Plaza and Wangjing 3Q are the first two coworking projects created under the SOHO China brand. When Zhang Xin (CEO of SOHO China) first met with anySCALE her vision could be summarised in three words: ‘Hip, Easy, Warm’. The feeling these words bring to mind became the foundation for anySCALE’s design for these first two 3Q projects. This new innovative workspaces are intended to be a place of inspiration, where “there is no boss, no pressure, and everyone is equal” Pan Shiyi (Chairman of SOHO China) said.
Both projects have very different parameters. Fuxing Plaza 3Q is located on the Bund in Shanghai in SOHO China’s GMP designed building and occupies floors 2 - 4, previously dedicated as retail space. Wangjing 3Q is located over the 21st - 23rd floor in Beijing in the SOHO China Wangjing office tower designed by Zaha Hadid. Moving away from the sleek, white corporate image SOHO China is usually known for, Each meeting room and rest area was designed with separate themes in mind, the bright and youthful style of each complementing the next.
anySCALE worked closely with Zhang Xin to achieve this design goal, incorporating many personalised features, such as custom made wallpaper and rug designs and handpicking posters and accessories. Additional community facilities such as coffee bars, break-out spaces and lounges all provide excellent on- and off-work networking opportunities as well as a chance for workers to kick back and relax.
