Architecture firm M Moser Associates recently completed a new headquarters for furniture company JE Furniture in Foshan, China.

“The client wanted to bring several brands together in a minimalist, community-driven space that reflects their creative and engineering expertise. Building on a vision of innovation through an integrative framework, the project unites previously separate brands and functions into one cohesive environment. What was once a collection of distinct spaces is now an interconnected ecosystem that fosters collaboration and shared identity. Set within Foshan’s industrial landscape, the design connects people, processes and experiences.

Our multidisciplinary team was well placed to bring this vision to life. By understanding JE’s focus on precision, innovation and its people-first culture, we turned these values into a workplace that feels authentic to the brand.
From the start, architecture, engineering, construction management and design worked together to seamlessly align vision with execution.

Using tools such as 3D modelling, VR and IR reviews, we kept every stage of the project accurate, efficient and transparent for everyone involved. This collaborative approach maintained the efficiency of the industrial shell. It also shaped a flexible, future-proof environment that reflects the company’s identity and supports ongoing innovation.

The transformation started with the landscape and façade, developed by our architecture, design and engineering teams. This integrated approach created a unified identity while improving the site’s performance and accessibility.

The design strategy that connects the campus aligns natural and industrial components: greenery, water and daylight balanced with steel, structure and scale. A high-performing façade system enhances thermal comfort, increases daylight and reduces energy use.
Metal components and proportions from the exterior continue through the interiors, ensuring visual consistency and technical efficiency across materials and details. A bespoke ceiling system combines lighting, air distribution and acoustic control within an integrated architectural and MEP framework. This keeps workspaces clear, adaptable and easy to maintain.

We reconfigured the building layout around a new atrium formed from a former void. Structural re-engineering and construction management brought in new floor plates and a feature staircase, connecting the showroom, R&D and workplace floors. The reorganisation improves wayfinding and operational flow, creating a clear layout that strengthens connection between key areas. Using advanced construction management technologies, the team ensured precision, buildability and seamless coordination between disciplines.”
