When LIG Nex1's H-Square campus was being designed, the interior team faced a familiar challenge in high-end commercial projects: how do you specify a single flooring system that works equally well in open-plan workspaces, executive suites, conference rooms, and social lounges — without compromising the distinct identity of each zone?
The answer was Anker carpet tiles. With five collections applied across 6,880 m² of total floor area, this project demonstrates exactly why design professionals increasingly turn to Anker when specification demands both design flexibility and performance accountability.
Project Overview
Client: LIG Nex1 (defense and advanced technology corporation)
Space type: Corporate headquarters campus (H-Square)
Total carpet area: 6,880 m²
Collections used: SURF, ZONE, FACADE, HABITAT RHOMB, Salt Lake
Supplied by: TORNEX — Anker official dealer in Korea
LIG Nex1 H-Square is a large-scale corporate campus that required a flooring solution capable of adapting to radically different spatial demands — from dense open-office floors to quiet executive areas, active collaboration lounges, and formal conference rooms.
The Design Challenge
Large corporate campuses present a well-known specification paradox: the scale of the project demands procurement efficiency (ideally a single-brand solution), but the diversity of spaces demands visual differentiation. A lobby cannot look like a corridor. A conference room should feel distinctly different from an open workspace.
A secondary challenge was acoustic performance. Open-plan office environments at this scale generate significant noise — footfall, conversation, rolling chairs. Without adequate floor-level sound absorption, the acoustic environment degrades rapidly regardless of how much is invested in ceiling and wall treatments.
The specification requirement: one vendor, multiple visual identities, consistent acoustic performance — and certification data to back it up.
Zone-by-Zone Design Strategy
Open Workspaces & Corridors — SURF Collection
The SURF collection anchored the project's largest footprint — open-plan workspace floors and connecting corridors. Three colorways were rotated across floors to create subtle visual rhythm while maintaining a unified palette. Total SURF installation: approximately 6,114 m².
Lounges & Social Zones — ZONE Collection
ZONE carpet tiles introduced a contrasting texture in lounge areas. The 457.2 × 914.4 mm plank format breaks from the standard square tile geometry, creating immediate visual differentiation that signals a change of spatial character — effectively zoning without physical partitions.
Conference Rooms — FACADE Collection
FACADE was selected for formal conference and meeting spaces. The collection's refined surface supports the focused, professional atmosphere that meeting environments require. The 500 × 500 mm format allows precision installation around furniture clusters.
Executive Spaces — HABITAT RHOMB & Salt Lake
Executive suites and VIP reception areas required the highest design specification. HABITAT RHOMB (457.2 × 914.4 mm plank) introduced a sophisticated geometric texture. Salt Lake (1,000 × 1,000 mm large-format) was specified for the boardroom, where oversized format creates visual anchoring appropriate for the space's significance.
Performance Credentials
For a corporate campus of this scale, performance documentation is as important as aesthetic specification.
| Performance Category | Anker Specification |
|---|---|
| Indoor air quality | Korea Eco-Label (No. 34864) — TVOC 0.02 mg/m²·h, formaldehyde 0.006 mg/m²·h |
| Heavy metal content | All six heavy metals: Not detected (ND) |
| Test coverage | All 21 FITI test items passed |
| Backing system | Unit Back (UB) — dimensional stability for large-area installation |
The Korea Eco-Label certification (KEITI, No. 34864) is particularly relevant for corporate projects where tenant sustainability commitments or green building credits are part of the project brief.
Design Insight: Multi-Collection Zoning Strategy
One underutilized strategy in carpet tile specification is deliberate multi-collection layering — using one brand's collection family to build a complete interior language rather than relying on a single product across all spaces.
The LIG Nex1 H-Square project demonstrates this approach at scale. Consistency comes from shared colorway development within the Anker range; differentiation comes from format, texture, and visual density. The result is a campus that reads as designed — where each zone has its own character without visual incoherence.
For designers: Anker's 16-collection range is structured for exactly this kind of layered specification. Collections can be combined in a single project quote, with full sample sets available from TORNEX Korea.
