Transparency, open spaces, generous walkways and informal meeting areas provide opportunities for chance encounters and impromptu exchanges. The workplace itself features full-height glass offices and open bench-type workstations to maximize the intake of natural light and views in all directions.

As a counterpoint to the climate and air quality issues specific to Beijing, a variety of plants inspired by traditional Chinese gardens are incorporated into the space to create a soothing backdrop for focus, rejuvenation and inspiration. While demonstrating Hyundai Capital's commitment towards employee well-being, the vegetation stands in contrast with the deceptively simple color palette of white, gray and black material finishes, as well as the minimalist furniture and fixtures. This translates in a cool, calm and collected atmosphere which redefines the paradigm of a traditional financial service firm.

At the heart of each floor is a unique communal space inspired by Chinese traditional architecture. Strategically located adjacent to a generously sized pantry, the pagoda houses amenity spaces as library, pavilion and tea pavilion. The pagoda serves as a catalyst for collaboration, learning and socialization among employees, all prerequisites to foster a strong sense of a community and company culture unique to Hyundai Capital.
