Introduction
The emergence of The Fintech Office marks the inception of a design-driven office space brand, catalyzed by a collaborative effort between a Fintech investor and Luo, the founding partner of WIT Design & Research. This venture not only signifies a transition from designing underground spaces to conventional office spaces but also serves as an exploration of transforming conventional office environments into unconventional ones, thereby enhancing Fintech brand visibility.
Design Evolution Amidst Challenges
In May 2020, the design journey for Fintech II commenced, reflecting a 20% increase in cost per square meter, enabling the installation of terrazzo tiles. However, the onset of the pandemic and the shift towards remote working posed challenges. Despite this, Fintech II attracted tenants, showcasing its allure as a comfortable and desirable workspace.
A Beacon of Resilience: Fintech I and Dragon Restaurant
In February 2020, amidst the pandemic’s grip, Fintech I and the Dragon Restaurant were inaugurated within the Ronghui International Building. Despite the prevailing uncertainties, Fintech I garnered attention, with a former AI scientist leasing the entire space. This success story underscored the resilience and appeal of the office space, even in challenging times.
Thriving Amidst Adversity
Fintech III initially served the investor but soon garnered interest from potential tenants, eventually securing a lease agreement. Additionally, the Fintech Office received collaboration requests, further bolstering its reputation in the industry. Despite the pandemic’s onslaught, the Fintech Office and Dragon Restaurant thrived, offering a sanctuary for professionals amidst uncertainty.
Design Innovation and Integration

Despite space constraints, the design maximizes functionality and user-friendliness, ensuring an optimal working environment for occupants.
Redefining Workspaces in the Modern Era
In an age where remote work is contentious, physical office spaces remain indispensable for fostering genuine interactions and collaboration, particularly within the high-tech industry. The Fintech Office exemplifies a space that caters to the evolving needs of professionals, offering a conducive environment for collaboration and innovation.
