smart systems enable self-service for tasks such as booking meeting rooms, printing, and travel arrangements. each workstation has a qr code for personalized adjustments to air conditioning, lighting, and other amenities.

at the heart of the headquarters is a "smiling face" garden, designed as an ecological nest with a variety of plant species and sustainable water systems. it supports local wildlife by providing food sources like pomelos, bayberries, and pomegranates.
