The XGATE Office project, completed in 2015 at the Hong Kong Science & Technology Park (HKSTP), involved the design and build of a 6,000 sq ft workplace within a three-month construction timeline. As one of Hong Kong’s leading digital marketing companies, XGATE sought a vibrant and flexible environment that could support both daily operations and frequent client-facing events.
The design emphasized color zoning to define functions and circulation, with bold green, red, and yellow carpets marking out collaborative areas, meeting rooms, and social hubs. A series of semi-open glass meeting rooms with operable partitions provided adaptable spaces for team discussions, seminars, or larger roadshows.
A central pantry and breakout zone with booth seating created a social heart of the office, encouraging informal interactions and networking. Geometric feature walls, illuminated display shelving, and custom hexagonal ceiling lights added a distinctive, brand-driven character to the workplace.
The project achieved its goals of combining flexibility, creativity, and professionalism — enabling XGATE to host events, welcome guests, and inspire its team within a space that truly reflects its identity as a forward-thinking marketing leader.
2015년에 홍콩 과학원(Hong Kong Science & Technology Park, HKSTP)에서 완공된 XGATE 오피스 프로젝트는 6,000평방피트 규모의 사무실을 3개월 만에 설계 및 시공한 사례입니다. 홍콩을 대표하는 디지털 마케팅 기업 중 하나인 XGATE는 일상적인 업무와 더불어 고객 중심의 이벤트와 세미나를 동시에 소화할 수 있는 역동적이고 유연한 업무 환경을 필요로 했습니다.
디자인은 **컬러 존잉(color zoning)**을 통해 기능과 동선을 명확히 구분하였으며, 녹색·빨강·노랑 카펫을 활용하여 협업 구역, 회의실, 그리고 소셜 허브 공간을 시각적으로 강조했습니다. 또한, 반개방형 유리 회의실과 가변 파티션을 적용하여 팀 회의뿐만 아니라 세미나, 로드쇼 등 대규모 이벤트에도 대응할 수 있도록 했습니다.
사무실 중앙에는 팬트리와 브레이크아웃 존을 배치하고, 부스형 좌석을 마련해 직원 간의 비공식적인 교류와 클라이언트 네트워킹을 자연스럽게 유도했습니다. 입체적인 피처 월, 조명을 강조한 디스플레이 선반, 그리고 육각형 모듈형 천장 조명은 브랜드의 정체성을 반영하며 독창적인 공간 경험을 완성했습니다.
이 프로젝트는 유연성, 창의성, 그리고 전문성을 성공적으로 결합하여, XGATE가 이벤트를 주최하고, 게스트를 맞이하며, 내부 팀을 고무시킬 수 있는 브랜드 중심의 오피스 공간을 구현했습니다.

CONCEPT & DESIGN INTENT
As one of Hong Kong’s leading digital marketing companies, XGATE required a new workplace that reflected creativity, dynamism, and flexibility. The design concept focused on a vibrant, collaborative environment where functionality meets brand-driven aesthetics. A bold use of color zoning and geometric forms injected energy and a sense of playfulness into the office, reinforcing the company’s forward-looking identity.
SPATIAL STRATEGY / PLANNING LOGIC
The office was organized around multi-purpose zones that support both daily operations and large-scale events.
Semi-open meeting rooms with operable partitions allow spaces to transform into event venues or seminar halls.
Clear zoning with distinct color palettes (green, red, yellow) defined collaborative areas, circulation paths, and breakout corners.
A central bar-style pantry and booth seating created informal hubs for staff interaction, client networking, and casual meetings.
This approach maximized flexibility and made the workplace adaptable to diverse marketing activities such as roadshows, workshops, and guest receptions.
