Green Champion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A global leader in professional services, Deloitte sought to revamp its full-floor meeting and reception area into a green, low-carbon space making it the only space in China to achieve four prestigious certifications: LEED Platinum, WELL Platinum, BREEAM Excellent, and Zero Carbon Space certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ESG Driven<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deloitte aimed to transform its Shanghai office’s conference and reception area, incorporating local Shanghai elements and its distinct brand culture. This ambitious initiative aims to create a green, low-carbon space that fosters collaboration while prioritizing energy efficiency and eco-friendliness. By integrating health-conscious concepts, the new design aligns with Deloitte’s commitment to their Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) policies and sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design features customized grille light strips that symbolize the passage of time and Deloitte’s century-old heritage along the Huangpu River. The futuristic front desk, with its slanted and 3D design, breaks conventional norms, offering visitors and employees an unobstructed view of the river for a stunning visual experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vertical grilles and an irregular ceiling that create a captivating interplay of light and shadow as sunlight filters through. This dynamic interaction between the grilles and sunlight produces ever-changing patterns, enhanced by green elements that symbolize Deloitte’s energetic and diverse corporate culture. Inspired by the concept of \u201cRhythm (Green) of Light and Shadow,\u201d the design cleverly plays on the Chinese homophones for “green” and “rhythm,” embodying a vibrant synergy between nature and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An integrated LED screen displays real-time energy consumption and environmental data, highlighting the space\u2019s energy-saving and emission reduction efforts. This system intelligently adjusts lighting based on ambient light levels, achieving a remarkable reduction in energy consumption by over 20%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference rooms are carefully crafted, with DB&B transforming the spacious area into a zero-carbon environment. Classified as Carbon Neutral or \u201cNet Zero\u201d emissions, this design approach utilizes plants and eco-friendly elements to offset the carbon dioxide emissions generated during use. The concept of carbon neutrality has emerged as a global trend in sustainable development, highlighting a commitment to environmental responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
