A Chinese design firm has drawn attention online after converting a drained swimming pool into a makeshift office
Luban Decoration Group's unconventional workspace shows employees working in the 'deep end,' with original poolside ladders serving as exits.
Photos and videos of the unique office setup reveal rows of desks equipped with workstations, all powered by floor sockets and extension cables.
According to South China Morning Post, one staff member humorously commented that the visible pool lane markings make him feel like he's inside a "small diving tank".
While the creative solution has entertained many, it has also triggered a safety probe
The unusual office setup has raised safety concerns, with blocked evacuation routes and a lack of essential fire safety features.
Lawyer Wang Ming highlighted these issues, sparking a lively online debate.
Experts have stressed the importance of proper fire detection and alarm systems, emergency evacuation plans, and comprehensive fire safety training for employees
One social media user quipped, "This sunken office set-up is truly unique. If you try to slack off, the boss just needs to take a few steps, and the entire office is in view. It is even more effective than surveillance cameras."
Another commented on the potential health implications, suggesting, "An underwater office might look trendy, but the humidity could cause rheumatism. Sitting for long hours in the deep end?"
