A sleek wing- shaped bar can also be found in a separate space used for drinks and meals for the team. A large platform in the middle of the recreation area serves multiple functions. Not only is it a place for the team to have casual gatherings and hang out, but its stepped structure also provides a stage for media conference events. In addition, this open space is dominated by an art installation of an aeroplane wing perched on top of the platform, which has also become a signature landmark of the office.
