The primary goal of this project is to create a comfortable rest space with a small yet functional meeting room by demolishing an existing wall and a workstation. For brand identity to integrate into the relatively small area, the new dividing wall between the rest space and the meeting room is constructed with a series of CNC-cut vertical wood slats to form a concave space that follows the shape of the iconic brand, Hershey's Kisses.

The concave space of the wall also functions as a television stand, while the rest becomes space for adjustable shelves. The essential material for the project is birch plywood to bring the light color into the office space with an elegant finish. Also, transition details between ceiling, wall, and floor intend to provide a cohesive design: vertical wall members and horizontal ceiling members interlocks, and wood floor seams align with center lines of the vertical wall members.
