ADEL’s Hong Kong office was conceived as a showcase for the brand’s leadership in smart lock technologies, integrating operations, IT support, and exhibition facilities under one roof. The design prioritizes transparency and connectivity, with open glass partitions and clear sightlines reinforcing the company’s focus on advanced digital security solutions.
The aesthetic blends industrial and cyber-inspired elements: grey cement-tone flooring, exposed ceilings in soft industrial grey, and accent lighting against a deep indigo backdrop. Custom patterns on glass panels introduce a subtle binary/cyber motif, further emphasizing the high-tech brand identity.
The office not only serves as an operational hub but also functions as a live showroom, where electronic locks, smart access systems, and integrated digital displays are demonstrated to clients. This dual-purpose design highlights both functionality and brand storytelling, positioning ADEL as a forward-looking leader in the Chinese smart lock industry.
ADEL 홍콩 오피스는 스마트 도어락 기술 분야에서 브랜드의 리더십을 보여주는 쇼케이스로 기획되었으며, 운영 부서, IT 지원, 전시 공간을 한 공간에 통합하였습니다. 디자인은 투명성과 연결성을 중시하며, 오픈 글라스 파티션과 명확한 시야 확보를 통해 ADEL의 첨단 디지털 보안 솔루션 이미지를 강화합니다.
인테리어는 산업적 감각과 사이버적 요소가 결합된 미학을 지향합니다. 회색 시멘트 톤의 바닥재, 산업적 회색 톤으로 마감된 오픈 천장, 그리고 인디고 색상을 활용한 포인트 조명은 현대적이면서도 기술 중심의 분위기를 연출합니다. 글라스 패널에는 0과 1의 패턴을 연상시키는 사이버 모티프가 더해져, 하이테크 브랜드 아이덴티티를 강조합니다.
밝은 톤의 목재 마감, 미니멀한 가구, 그리고 조명 포인트는 거친 산업적 질감을 중화시키며, 현대적이고 친근한 업무 환경을 만들어냅니다. 개방형 사무 공간, 유리로 구획된 회의실, 제품 전시 존은 협업을 강화하고 ADEL의 혁신적 브랜드 정신을 반영합니다.
이 오피스는 단순한 운영 거점을 넘어 라이브 쇼룸으로도 활용되며, 전자 도어락, 스마트 출입 시스템, 통합 디지털 디스플레이를 고객에게 직접 시연할 수 있는 공간입니다. 이러한 이중적 목적의 디자인은 기능성과 브랜드 스토리텔링을 동시에 부각시키며, ADEL을 중국 스마트 도어락 산업의 선두주자로 자리매김하게 합니다.

CONCEPT & DESIGN INTENT
The vision for ADEL’s Hong Kong office was to create a space that communicates the brand’s leadership in smart lock technologies while balancing operational efficiency with a contemporary, enduring aesthetic. Transparency and openness guided the design direction, reflecting the company’s values of security and innovation. The intent was to craft an environment that feels modern, cyber-inspired, and technology-driven—reinforcing ADEL’s identity as a pioneer in electronic lock systems.
SPATIAL STRATEGY / PLANNING LOGIC
The planning emphasized circulation clarity and spatial transparency. Glass partitions and open layouts allow sightlines to remain unobstructed across the office, supporting collaboration while ensuring security. Dedicated zones include:
Operations Office for day-to-day functions.
IT Support Area serves as a technical backbone.
Showroom and Exhibition Spaces showcasing ADEL’s latest electronic lock products.
Conference and Collaboration Rooms are enclosed in glass to maintain openness while enabling privacy.
This zoning strategy ensures efficiency, easy navigation, and adaptability to future functional needs.

MATERIALITY & DETAILING
The palette combines light and industrial finishes to achieve a balanced aesthetic.
Flooring: Grey cement-tone vinyl flooring, evoking raw industrial strength while remaining durable and easy to maintain.
Ceilings: Exposed piping and ductwork in industrial grey, celebrating a modern, loft-inspired style.
Walls & Glass: Full-height glass panels with patterned, cyber-inspired motifs that subtly reference digital coding and technology.
Accents: Light wood elements and strategic lighting, including LED highlights, add warmth and contrast against the bold indigo brand color.
The material strategy conveys a sense of innovation and durability while reinforcing the cyber-aesthetic central to ADEL’s brand.
PROJECT GOALS & OUTCOMES
The office was delivered on schedule within 3 months, achieving the client’s operational and branding requirements. Key outcomes include:
A dual-purpose environment that serves as both a workplace and a live showroom for smart lock demonstrations.
Intense client satisfaction is achieved as the design embodies ADEL’s brand identity—innovative, high-tech, and forward-thinking.
Enhanced employee collaboration and workflow efficiency through transparent layouts and shared zones.
The completed environment reflects ADEL’s ambition to lead in the global smart lock industry while providing a comfortable and future-ready workplace.
COLLABORATION & CONSTRAINTS
This project required close coordination with ADEL’s internal teams to ensure that the space could support both operational functions and high-quality product showcases.
Constraints: Working within an industrial building setting required creative solutions to conceal and integrate building services while maintaining the desired clean, modern aesthetic.
Resolutions: The use of exposed ceilings finished in uniform grey turned infrastructure into a design feature. Digital patterns on glass provided privacy without sacrificing openness.
Key Partners: Collaboration between the design team, contractors, and ADEL’s technology specialists ensured the space met technical requirements for smart lock installations and live demonstrations.
The result is a coherent, branded environment that overcame site challenges to deliver a high-impact, functional workspace.
