The Flow of Project Plan

“Atmosphere design” refers to the design of spatial ambience. By researching the requirements of our clients and regional characteristics, we create dream-inspiring main concepts. With these concepts, we propose facilities and products that satisfy a variety of functions, and then render them handsomely as designs. Designing space in which to spend time comfortably by using form and mechanism. . . This is the essence of atmosphere design.
