Large industrial enterprises aren't typically known for conducting business inside jaw-dropping office environments. Shenzhen-based HALLUCINATE Design Office certainly defies that assumption in their Midwest Inland Port Financial Town project in China's Xi’an International Trade & Logistics Park. 

Completed last December, Hallucinate won the commission to design the commodity trading center from Maike Metals Group, one of China's largest suppliers of non-ferrous metals and minerals. 

Designed with an “unconventional open and tranquil style”, Hallucinate beautifully contrasts bold details and textures with a subtle yet sleek color palette that doesn't appear sterile. The 326,200m² office shows off a glass wall curtain and aluminum panels on its exterior, while its interior boasts a careful arrangement of materials like artificial stone, aluminum, hardwood flooring, and mineral wood. A mixture of natural light and soft LED lighting throughout the space creates a “surreal ambience”.

Most recently, the project scored a spot on the shortlist of the upcoming INSIDE: World Festival of Interiors in Berlin.
