Big Door has officially opened its new Beijing office, Cyber White Garden. Designed by Muyoucun Architecture, the space uses a clean white base, precise lines and an Eastern garden-like spatial sequence to create a workplace where technology and humanity can coexist.
In common visual culture, “cyber” is often tied to neon, punk and futurism. For Big Door, creativity is not cold technology stacked on top of work. It is the collision of rational order and human emotion. This office rejects the expected cyber aesthetic and instead uses white, light and shifting spatial views to create a calmer, more poetic version of the future.
Spiral Bamboo: Turning Spatial Limits into Poetry
The first thing visitors encounter is a rising white spiral installation. Inspired by the idea of a bamboo grove, the design uses vertical lines, material contrast and layered ceilings to guide movement and invite people deeper into the space.
The installation was also a practical solution. The original reception area had multiple immovable door openings, with circulation and sightlines that felt fragmented. Instead of blocking the problem directly, the design reorganized the experience through a sculptural spiral that acts as both a focal point and a soft spatial screen.
Lightbox Meeting Room: A Semi-transparent Boundary for Collaboration
Beyond the spiral, a white semi-transparent lightbox sits along the central axis as the shared meeting room for the teams on both sides.
Open offices often struggle between too much exposure and too much isolation. This lightbox uses polycarbonate panels and switchable glass to keep the workspace bright while still allowing privacy when needed.
When daylight passes through the lightbox, the structure becomes softer and more alive. It creates a workplace without hard hierarchy or isolated department walls, only clearer collaboration and shared creative movement.
Cave Corridor: A Creative Route with Changing Views
The original masonry structure was the biggest constraint of the site. The design turned that limitation into a strength by borrowing from the Chinese garden idea of “another world within a world,” using a long cave-like corridor to connect the two main work areas.
Walking through the corridor feels like moving through a creative tunnel. The rhythm shifts from open work area to quiet passage and into another functional zone, turning everyday circulation into a small moment of discovery.
Let Space Become a Medium for Creative Work
Beyond the main installations, every detail serves the nature of creative work: the warmth of microcement, the acoustic comfort of polypropylene carpet, and the intelligent lighting system across the office.
Special thanks to Chang Kaisheng and the Muyoucun Architecture team, Beijing Juyi Architectural Decoration Engineering, and lighting consultant Wang Honglei. Cyber White Garden is now a new beginning for Big Door, a space built to support stronger, warmer and more connected creative work.
