Qingdao Financial City Emulating the Fushan Hill to the west and Laoshan Mountain to the east, Qingdao Financial City features a pair of iconic towers that create a new gateway for the city. Qingdao Financial City is located centrally in the Qingdao Laoshan District and is an international, mixed-use development at the core of the Jinjialing new financial area. A high-value, regional and cultural landmark, the project consists of Class-A office space and luxury five-star hotels. Qingdao Financial City provides an urban center that balances modernity with timelessness and reinforces strong internal and external connections to the city. The project links directly to a large plaza south of the site, which offers a key gathering place and provides a venue where the client and tenants can host gatherings and festivals. At 193-meters tall, each tower consists of five glass “jewel” boxes stacked vertically, symbolizing the prosperity of Jinjialing as a new financial center for the Northeast region of China. The glass boxes decrease in height as they ascend, forming a gradated, elegant silhouette. The shape of each box is chamfered at the corners to emphasize the prismatic nature. This design also reduces the wind loads on the tower, increasing their stability. Recessed mechanical floors sit between boxes, allowing for inconspicuous and efficient mechanical ventilation. At the base, a podium connects both towers through roof terraces, a grand ballroom, and dining spaces that sponsor an active mixed-use lifestyle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708486207877-5VJQTZPAOIIGZCAN8L1P/Qingdao%2BFinancial%2BCenter-final-small-1.jpg Architecture Gallery - Qingdao Financial City Emulating the Fushan Hill to the west and Laoshan Mountain to the east, Qingdao Financial City features a pair of iconic towers that create a new gateway for the city.

The building houses the university’s architecture, design, and computer science programs, is made to be occupied by students from around campus. The space features three stories of tiered seating overlooked by open balconies and an overhead bridge connecting the hall’s east and west wings. The Wenzhou-Kean campus, a 175-acre site surrounded by mountains about an hour south of Shanghai, was created through a master plan by Michael Graves’s office that placed the university’s architecture and design schools (both named for Graves himself) at its center. Eight oblong “bar” buildings, clad in Angola black granite, form the structure’s three-floor base, hosting community spaces and classrooms, flexible exhibition areas, a makerspace, a digital-media auditorium, and a lakeside café. Punched windows and deep inset ledges emphasize the three-foot thickness of the walls while also providing interior shading and hiding mechanicals and ductwork. The bars are capped by two striking, daylit studio loft buildings, which form the fourth and fifth floors and offer more traditional architectural design studio spaces. These are fronted with ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) sunshades. As the hall welcomes students from near and far, and from different disciplines across campus, it is on its way to achieving its potential as a campus gathering place and an incubator for the future. “This is a place for architecture, urban and industrial design, and computer science; by the time you put all those things together, you’re talking about the future fabric of society,” says Ruble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708582398645-TZ9UXHXW9G4ON0QRWAX8/SZ+Rural+Commercial+Bank+HQ-final-small-1+copy.jpg Architecture Gallery - Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank HQ This new 150-meter-tall, mixed-use tower in Bao’an, Shenzhen, will be a world-class benchmark for sustainable design that uses naturally ventilated atria and a column-free external structure. Vertical atria stretching the full height of the tower's east and west facades will provide ventilation and natural air circulation, improving the building's mechanical performance. Adjacent to a public park, and only three blocks from the sea, the tower will offer inhabitants spectacular views at every floor via the tall atria. The structure will be an external steel diagrid, a symbol of SOM’s rich tradition of integrating architectural design and structural engineering. The diagrid will be pulled away from the facade, enabling flexible and column-free interior office space. It also will provide solar shading. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1758847141371-LOF65BWB98AOIU6SGVE5/Liujizaui+Capital+Plaza-%C2%A9Seth+Powers-final-small-4.jpg Architecture Gallery - Lujiazui Capital Plaza Comprising five towers connected by walkable plazas and public spaces, this major commercial development is unusual for its multi-building, human-scaled approach—a contrast to the typical Shanghai superblock. An urban-scale development creates civic value Lujiazui Capital Plaza is located near the endpoint of Century Avenue, the main thoroughfare in Shanghai’s Pudong financial district. Seeking to connect the dense financial district to the north with Century Plaza to the south, a cultural district of parks and museums, SOM took an urbanistic approach to planning the development. With five buildings arranged around a network of plazas and public spaces, the site planning strategy reflects a deep attention to the public realm. The design invites pedestrians in, with routes that cross through the site to provide links between surrounding districts and to nearby transit stations. 178,000 square meters of office space are distributed across five buildings of varied heights and scales. The smaller building footprints create a unique offering within the Shanghai commercial office market, with the flexibility for tenants to lease spaces ranging from a single floor to an entire building. Open, column-free floor plans that allow for flexible office layouts or multi-suite configurations, while the building cores are offset to optimize views of Century Avenue and Century Park. Inspired by classical Chinese garden design, the landscaped plaza at the center of the development is both a ceremonial entrance to the development and a welcoming public gathering space. These thoughtfully shaded outdoor spaces offer a quality of civic space rarely found in new developments in Pudong. High-performance facade system The five buildings are unified, aesthetically, by a distinctive facade system. Taking inspiration from traditional masonry and wood screen structures, the facade design is a deep, three-dimensional lattice that shades the building interiors from the sun while allowing for daylight and views. Composed of a series of staggered, tapered fins and projecting spandrel covers, the steel-and-glass facade expresses a strong, powerful geometry. Calibrated to the site and climate, the lattice is oriented to protect from solar heat gain throughout the day. As a result, no blinds or window treatments are needed—and the buildings’ cooling needs are reduced by up to 33 percent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1685463403668-4VE5FKK6ORP9S70KPSBL/Ningbo+Guohua+Financial+Center-final-small-1.jpg Architecture Gallery - Ningbo Guohua Financial Tower Guohua Financial Tower, a 45-story office high-rise and adjacent four-story mixed-use podium, is set to rise in Ningbo, China. As a model of simplicity, sustainability, and urban connectivity, the complex propels the evolution of a dynamic central business district in the port city. Situated along a prominent east-west boulevard in East New Town, the site’s new public spaces are organized to draw tenants and visitors from all directions. A plaza features highly visible public art, and the low-rise building’s primary functional spaces are lifted to create an inviting open-air courtyard whose light-filled terraces, waterfalls, and serene reflecting pool demand attention. A spacious glass atrium directly connects the retail court to the office tower’s lobby, which enjoys an equally strong and welcoming 360-degree presence. Guohua Financial Tower’s skyscraper is highly efficient in plan and execution. A visible steel-and-concrete diagrid creates a memorable diamond pattern for the facade; it also reduces structural stress on the building’s core, enabling it to occupy less space at the middle and upper floors and allowing office plans to be open and flexible throughout. Underscoring the entire project’s commitment to sustainable workspace, the tower contains two multistory sky gardens. Here, natural and mechanical systems interact in an innovative fashion, as living walls provide natural filtration for the air circulating throughout the building. These vegetated surfaces also figure into a circuit that filters rainwater for irrigating landscaping and replenishing the plaza’s reflecting pool. The high-performance design of Guohua Financial Tower targets both LEED® Gold and China’s Three Star certifications. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708486160197-ATOAU4FKIMTP44W0E6AN/Tianjin+CTF+Finance+Center-SOM-final-small-1.jpg Architecture Gallery - Tianjin CTF Finance Center The Tianjin CTF Finance Centre is located in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA), an outer district of Tianjin, China. The design uses undulating curves to subtly express three programmatic elements while presenting a bold monolithic expression on the skyline. The 530-meter-tall skyscraper will house office space, luxury serviced apartments, and a hotel. By stacking reducing floor plates, the tower tapers dramatically to minimize the surface area exposed to wind, sun, and moisture. The gently undulating curves of the façade subtly denote the integration of the three distinct programs within a singular smooth object. Square in plan with rounded corners, the floor plate geometry enables unique interior fit-outs and customization options for occupants. Research by the architect has shown that lateral forces due to vortex shedding can be controlled by tapering the vertical profile of the tower and softening any sharp corners in plan. The building’s aerodynamic shape greatly reduces this vortex shedding by “confusing the wind” and disrupting the opportunity for any resonating wind forces and loads on the structure. The softly curving glass skin integrates eight sloping megacolumns that follow a lyrical line connecting the centers and corners of all four elevations. These curving megacolumns increase the structure’s response to seismic concerns and are integral to both the gravity and lateral systems. They are effective in increasing the stiffness of the building’s perimeter frame, consequently attracting a larger portion of the seismic forces in compliance with the Chinese code requirements. The façade reinforces the curvature of the tower form and creates a shimmering texture over the building’s surface. The crystalline-like curtain wall stretches from the suspended glass canopies at each of the lobbies to the dematerialized, megacolumn-looped crown and presents a bold expression of a comprehensive, integrated design on the Tianjin skyline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708486292654-JCX9SO4WOUIAJ5PW80G5/Lingang+Phase+2%2B3-final-small-1.jpg Architecture Gallery - Lingang Sci-Tech City Innovation Cube Positioned on reclaimed land and next to a major global shipping route, the highly connected Lingang Sci-Tech City is the first of its kind in Shanghai’s Lingang Special Area. It showcases the innovative vision of Shanghai Lingang Technology & Innovation City Economic Development Company. The 78896.7-square-meter multi-tenant R&D community features a winding loop that connects the six buildings on the innovation campus, creating a greenery-filled space that stimulates synergy and sharing. Two types of core positions are applied to accommodate the needs of diverse tenants. The modern glassy curtains walls of the buildings are decorated with poetic wave-pattern fins — an architectural characteristic echoing the community’s seaside location. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708516051106-6ZG8E5HDZETG1AWLKS5X/Prince+Plaza-final-small-5.jpg Architecture Gallery - Prince Plaza Shekou is defined by a mixed landscape. Mountains and sea, an industrial fabric from the early economic reform era, and recent skyscrapers form a dynamic context. Prince Plaza is located in Shekou’s Sea World district—a unique coastal zone in Shenzhen backed by the Nanshan Mountains and facing the Shenzhen Bay, abundant in public outdoor spaces. The 200-metre mixed-use podium tower at once connects with Shekou’s latest commercial developments, its industrial past, and its everlasting natural environment. The site falls on Shekou’s most prominent view corridor that runs from the mountains to the sea. Prince Plaza takes full advantage of the view corridor without obstructing it. The tower is an ensemble of four bars attached to a central core. Three sky decks—highlighted by a hexagon-patterned facade inspired by hills and waves—are viewing platforms open to vistas of the mountains and the sea. Designed for use by both tenants and public, they add to the collection of the public outdoor spaces in the coastal Sea World district. The sky decks break down the otherwise monolithic 60,000 m2 tower into four bars of different sizes that respond to architecture of distinctive scales in the surroundings. The two bars on one side are slightly set back to increase the perimeter or each floor plate, allowing more natural light into the office space. The tower’s fluted façade, with extra wide glass panels, enable office tenants to visually connect with the mountains and the sea, while further bringing lightness to the slender vertical bars. A 40,000 m2 podium mall occupies the full length of the orthogonal site to maximise street level retail frontage. Different than typical enclosed shopping malls, Prince Plaza’s podium mall has a porous façade and a roof terrace— an extension of the existing commercial and recreational offerings of the Sea World district. A prominent opening— marked by a similar façade as the sky decks—is created at the location through which the view corridor runs. Underground levels of the mall are integrated with two metro lines that connect Prince Plaza to the rest of Shenzhen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708492666719-JZQA9AHYOHBSIO04IMNC/Pazhou+Poly-final-small-32.jpg Architecture Gallery - Poly Skyline Plaza Poly Skyline Plaza is a mixed-use complex that embraces the spirit of its place in Pazhou, an emerging commercial district in Guangzhou. At this significant site along the Pearl River, the design responds to the region's challenging climate and to the commercial demands of its office, hotel, and residential components. Two towers are distinguished by their aerodynamic forms, an interplay of convex and concave curves oriented to maximize views and improve wind performance.
 
The 63-story office tower is configured as a highly efficient workplace with spectacular views of the river and countryside. The 39-story hotel and residential tower follows a similar massing strategy with a smaller floor plate. The fluid exterior form and expression contrasts with the adjacent green countryside, while evoking the flowing Pearl River. Linked by a podium that contains hotel amenities, the pair of towers creates a landmark for the district. 

 The basic geometry of the office tower is a tapered, rounded square plan, with convex facades at the east and the west and subtle concave facades at the north and south. Sculptural apertures at the top of each tower are designed to further reduce wind forces, accommodate wind turbines, and provide dramatic indoor and outdoor meeting and lounge spaces. The six-story podium includes a hotel function room and restaurants with riverfront and garden views, as well as a pool enclosed by an undulating, clerestory-lit roof.

 A transparent facade visually connects the elegant lobby, reception, and lounge areas with the lush landscaped grounds. The curtain wall consists of clear, low-e coated insulated glazing with minimal frames. Cut into this smooth facade are continuous horizontal slots to create a natural ventilation cavity. By extending the exterior wall glass below the stack joint and recessing the spandrel panel, this cavity allows air to flow into the interior space via a ventilator located above the finish floor. The extended panel also shields the cavity from water infiltration during high wind seasons.

 On the east and west facades, perforated metal sunshades provide solar protection and reflect light onto the interior ceilings. The high-efficiency HVAC system features full economizer capacity. This integrated mechanical and exterior envelope design improves indoor comfort, while reducing the tower’s energy consumption by an estimated four percent compared to the ASHRAE 90.1.2007 baseline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708492866491-H4O9A2QCTN9QFCD39V73/Shen+Ye+Upperhills-final-small-14.jpg Architecture Gallery - Shen Ye Upperhills Mixed-Use Development A new destination located just north of Shenzhen’s main central business district, this mixed-use development features two landmark towers, a ballroom pavilion, and a large elevated pedestrian park that connects the hills of the city’s two major parks: Lotus Hill Park to the southwest and Beacon Hill Park to the northeast. An enlivened podium provides a variety of retail experiences, including a large indoor mall and a small-scale shopping village. Designed with an emphasis on elegance and simplicity, the towers are a timeless addition to the Shenzhen skyline. In order to provide world-class office spaces, the design incorporates flexible floor plates, highly efficient systems, and unobstructed city views—all features that greatly enhance the user experience. SOM’s architecture and engineering teams collaborated on the design of both signature towers as well as the ballroom pavilion. The taller tower, rising 80 stories and 389 meters, contains office space in the lower floors and a luxury hotel at the top. It is supported by a central core and eight megacolumns at the perimeter, a structural solution which minimizes obstructions and opens up panoramic views. These qualities are further enhanced by the curtain wall design, which incorporates oversized glass on a 3-meter module throughout. The second tower, entirely dedicated to offices, features the same 3-meter curtain wall grid. The ballroom pavilion features a unique outdoor public terrace that connects to the elevated public green. This 12.5-meter high open-air space frames views of Beacon Hill Park, which lies directly to the east of the pavilion. Two large ballrooms above this terrace offer panoramic views to both the east and west, and restaurants are located on the upper floor. The faceted design of the Pavilion resulted from a structural concept—the folded enclosure to the north, south, and on the roof provides a structural depth which enables the long spans for the ballroom spaces. SOM also designed the two bridges that connect the site to the parks, which feature a meandering pathway to provide a varied experience along their length. The east bridge descends from the elevated green at a gentle slope, zig-zags across Huanggang Road to the east, and lands amid the tree-filled Beacon Hill Park. The west bridge, with its long spans across Caitian Road, is designed to provide a more protected pedestrian experience. The main pedestrian pathway weaves between successive garden spaces, while the depth of the bridge varies in correspondence with the long spans between columns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709658476273-2X25KZMJJ4MNO9IBAOIW/Yangpu+Block+40-final-small-8.jpg Architecture Gallery - Shandong Gold Poly Financial Plaza Located alongside Huangpu River in Yangpu District in Shanghai, Shandong Gold Poly Plaza was designed by leading architecture firm SOM. Consisting of four buildings of differing heights, the project covers more than 100,000 square meters. An exterior bridge connects 3 of the towers and faces the Huangpu river just to the south. Architects pushed back the first floor of each building by 4 meters in order to lower density, creating a more spacious campus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708682381120-U0T6PC7X1KDWL7LPOPUX/Daxiang+Shan+She-final-small-21.jpg Architecture Gallery - Da Xiang Shan She Da Xiang Shan She residential complex is adjacent to Dayangshan National Forest Park in Suzhou, a famous historical city in China.

Brewin created an arresting feature installation in the central core of each of the five lobbies with a series of six-meter tall ‘wall-peels’, created by stacking solid bands of bullnose-edged travertine marble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708493031232-S5VW3F2GU5F8X6D2UEWL/COFCO+Plaza-final-small-1.jpg Architecture Gallery - COFCO Plaza Kokaistudios has completed the architectural and interior design renovation of COFCO Plaza. Built in 1996, the building occupies one of the best locations in Beijing, along Jianguomen street at the cross with Chang’an Avenue, 1km away from the Forbidden City.

Two V-shaped fourteen storey office towers cut into the surrounding urban environment at a 45 degree angle. They are linked together by the central square shaped complex, creating a structure with sharp corners and a strong sense of geometry.

The re-development focused on "innovation through renovation", a concept that has guided many of Kokaistudios' previous work. The firm strived to enrich the urban fabric by re-purposing and re-examining the potential of existing buildings. The architects worked closely with COFCO to understand the brand in order to translate the culture into a spatial experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708682166988-MQ2HWCEBYNMCFRS7BKEJ/M-Cube-final-small-14.jpg Architecture Gallery - M·Cube The Beijing KWG·M·CUBE, a 40,000-square-metre shopping centre designed by MVRDV, has completed construction in Beijing. Asked by the client to make the building a visual statement, MVRDV created a multifaceted volume that responds to its surroundings with a pearlescent ceramic façade, which shimmers in a spectrum of colours under changing light conditions.

 Located just within Beijing’s innermost ring road, the KWG·M·CUBE is prominently located next to the Beijing Railway Station and near to both the Temple of Heaven to the Southwest, and Tiananmen and the Forbidden City to the Northwest. Given this prime location and the consequent value of the land, the client wanted a building that would stand out from its mostly beige and grey neighbours, while also packing a large amount of space into a relatively small footprint. Contradicting this request were the desires of the city government, whose preference was for a building that would fit in with its muted surroundings on the busy street.

 MVRDV was commissioned to design the building’s exterior and responded to these competing hopes with a 7-storey volume that rises to the maximum allowed height of 36 metres—an unusually tall building for this kind of mall. The shape of the building was generated by cutting the volume at various angles to orient the façades to face key locations, such as the railway station and an intersection on the other side of the street, generating a shape that is both contextual and recognizable in its visual presence. It also allowed MVRDV to include open-air terraces on each level, which are symbolically oriented towards landmarks such as the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven—some visible from the building, others more distant—to root the building in its location.

 The building is wrapped in a pearlescent ceramic façade that at different times appears either grey or colourful, creating a subtle façade that does not need large LED screens to stand out and catch the attention of the passers-by. Hand-glazed in China, these tiles were made by applying three layers of glaze to the ceramic, and firing at a different temperature each time.

 “We designed the KWG·M·CUBE so that the building continuously displays new patterns and colours. Depending on the weather and light conditions and where you stand, the façade might look subtly grey, or it might shine with all the colours of the rainbow,” says Jacob van Rijs, principal and co-founder of MVRDV. “In this part of Beijing, there are restrictions on architecture and many nearby buildings are completed in shades of grey and beige. Our solution allowed us to do exactly what the client and the city wanted: to create an attractive visual statement in which exuberance and modesty go hand in hand.”

 The surface treatment of the façade also breaks up the mass of the building while responding to the light and view requirements of the interior program. While some areas of the surface were required to have blind facades to accommodate the stores behind, other stores are able to use diffuse light to their advantage, and here the ceramic tiles are used in a checkerboard pattern. In other places such as lobbies and cafes, fully glazed facades provide a visual connection between the inside of the shopping centre and the mall.

 To accommodate the building’s 7-storey height, MVRDV proposed to split the KWG·M·CUBE shopping centre into two layers: on the lower 3 floors is the daytime shopping centre, which mostly hosts retail stores, while the upper levels feature more restaurants, bars, and cafés, and will truly come alive at night. In order to allow the upper floors to function while the lower floors are closed, an express elevator from the ground level takes visitors up to a second lobby on the fourth floor. To complete this layering effect, a landscaped roof terrace allows visitors to relax outside when the weather is pleasant.

The project adds a 200-meter office tower, several residential buildings, a five-star hotel, four restaurant pavilions and a three-level shopping complex to the site of an existing government center. The park at the project’s center will serve as the district’s principal green space, accessible from nearby residences, tourist beaches and beyond. The design highlights the view corridor from the sea to the forested summit of Wutong Mountain, while form and materials throughout Vanke One City play on the surrounding context. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708926200379-ZLPLPALQHUS9JCX0NSEB/North+Point+Building-final-small-23.jpg Architecture Gallery - 18 King Wah Road Located in North Point, the eastern district of Hong Kong Island, 18 King Wah Road is a new 23- story office building in Hong Kong and second commission for Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects. 18 King Wah Road commands a striking view of Victoria Harbor and Kowloon Bay, and to the west, PCPA’s iconic International Financial Centre marks the skyline.
 In contrast to the density of its urban neighbors, the design of PCPA’s building is airy and buoyant. The triple- height Y- shaped columns that support the base of the tower deliver an exciting visual on the street, announcing the building’s presence. While solid in breadth, they seem to lift the base effortlessly. Metal fins wrap around the crisp glass and steel curtain wall, creating a lively pattern the full height of the building’s compact vertical massing. Each office floor will have spectacular views of the waterfront, Victoria Harbor and Kowloon Bay.
 The project meets Gold Well Building Standards, Platinum Asia Regional Intelligent Green Building, and LEED Platinum. Key environmental concerns such as dense urban congestion and extreme afternoon temperatures are addressed. The curved corners of the building allow air to flow continuously throughout the tightly built- up neighborhood. High- performance metal sunshades wrap the exterior of each floor to minimize the effect of the intense solar rays from overheating the interior spaces. The shades are designed to function specifically to the sun’s orientation. On the north- west corner, they extend outwards and downward to mitigate the harsh afternoon sun. On the south- west corner, a second shade extends out to block the higher angled mid- day sun. Concurrently, this second feature acts as a light- shelf that directs daylight deeper into office interiors, significantly reducing the need for artificial lighting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708682430145-U716LWF1VO5XQ7W311IB/Raffles+City+Hangzhou-final-small-16.jpg Architecture Gallery - Raffles City Hangzhou Raffles City is a sustainable urban hub for living, working and leisure located in Hangzhou, one of China's most picturesque cities. Situated 180 kilometres south-west of Shanghai, Hangzhou is one of China's most prosperous cities, especially renowned for its scenic landscapes. Located in Qianjiang New Town near the Qiantang River, this mixed-use development becomes a major landmark along the green axis of the city's new CBD. A rich mix of 24/7 functions occupies almost 400,000m2 within two stremlined towers set atop a podium and landscaped plaza. 

The architectural expressions throughout the building connect the combined programmes in one seamless flow. The 116,000m2 retail podium at the base of the tower begins this interconnected flow, organised as two diagonal and intersecting figure-of-eights. It accommodates retail, restaurants, leisure facilities and parking and has a direct underground connection to the metro. This wide range of mixed-use functions, not only provides residents and those working or staying in the complex with a healthy and socially integrated environment, it also ensures that programmes are active around the clock, creating a safe and lively neighbourhood for all. 

In the design of the two towers, the urban face of the project twists towards the landscape, while the landscape aspect, in turn, acknowledges the urban context. Through this, the urban context and the landscape of the city are consolidated in one gesture. The main entrance to the south of the corner site appears as a prominent gateway from the city park and civic centre, as it borders both the urban built-up context and green axis/city park that connects West Lake to the Qiantang River. Reflecting the movement in the river, the tower design features a wave-like motion. These concentric waves increase in their dynamism, starting calmly at the base and building up more vigorously along the vertical axis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709658312087-LYJQHFQ1TKBO44MZG42R/Capella-final-small-10.jpg Architecture Gallery - Capella Jianyeli Originally built in the 1930s by French real estate company Foncière et Immobilière de Chine, the Jian Ye Li “shikumen” complex; located in the heart of the former French concession had evolved and been altered over the years but was essentially intact in its historical configuration and represented an incredible development opportunity. Originally these “shikumen” buildings were designed for middle class families in Shanghai and as they lacked modern plumbing facilities they were often seen as products with little value to preserve and were either demolished or just the “shell” was maintained and they were converted it into commercial use.

After extensive research and study, Kokaistudios developed an architectural renovation strategy that maintained the architectural features of the “shikumen” lane houses while tastefully altering the internal layout and transforming them into spaces suitable for modern luxurious living where each original lane house unit was transformed into one luxurious guest suite. Practicality is not a term that applies to this project as the shikumen architectural typology; characterized by their narrow and tall nature meaning that the minimum 110 sq.m suites are split over 2 floors via a step staircase with no elevator; does not lend itself naturally to conversion to hospitality use. However when the ultra-luxury Capella hotel brand entered into the project several years later minimal upgrades to the architecture of the buildings were required to meet their exacting standards and they created 55 luxury suites each occupying one of the lane-houses. Today the hotel occupies a unique position within Shanghai’s luxury hotel landscape and offer their guests a truly unique hospitality experience not available anywhere else in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709011979214-H3ZY27TSCOTEYU3XAHFW/UNStudio+Installation-final-small-14.jpg Architecture Gallery - Xintiandi Mirror Installation Designed by Dutch architecture firm UNStudio, this mirror lane installation conceptually explores the symbiotic relationship of cultural reflections that occur between the city's occupants and urban landscape.

As a model of simplicity, sustainability, and urban connectivity, the complex propels the evolution of a dynamic central business district in the port city. Situated along a prominent east-west boulevard in East New Town, the site’s new public spaces are organized to draw tenants and visitors from all directions. A plaza features highly visible public art, and the low-rise building’s primary functional spaces are lifted to create an inviting open-air courtyard whose light-filled terraces, waterfalls, and serene reflecting pool demand attention. A spacious glass atrium directly connects the retail court to the office tower’s lobby, which enjoys an equally strong and welcoming 360-degree presence. Guohua Financial Tower’s skyscraper is highly efficient in plan and execution. A visible steel-and-concrete diagrid creates a memorable diamond pattern for the facade; it also reduces structural stress on the building’s core, enabling it to occupy less space at the middle and upper floors and allowing office plans to be open and flexible throughout. Underscoring the entire project’s commitment to sustainable workspace, the tower contains two multistory sky gardens.

At this significant site along the Pearl River, the design responds to the region's challenging climate and to the commercial demands of its office, hotel, and residential components. Two towers are distinguished by their aerodynamic forms, an interplay of convex and concave curves oriented to maximize views and improve wind performance.
 The 63-story office tower is configured as a highly efficient workplace with spectacular views of the river and countryside. The 39-story hotel and residential tower follows a similar massing strategy with a smaller floor plate. The fluid exterior form and expression contrasts with the adjacent green countryside, while evoking the flowing Pearl River. Linked by a podium that contains hotel amenities, the pair of towers creates a landmark for the district. 

 The basic geometry of the office tower is a tapered, rounded square plan, with convex facades at the east and the west and subtle concave facades at the north and south. Sculptural apertures at the top of each tower are designed to further reduce wind forces, accommodate wind turbines, and provide dramatic indoor and outdoor meeting and lounge spaces. The six-story podium includes a hotel function room and restaurants with riverfront and garden views, as well as a pool enclosed by an undulating, clerestory-lit roof.

 A transparent facade visually connects the elegant lobby, reception, and lounge areas with the lush landscaped grounds. The curtain wall consists of clear, low-e coated insulated glazing with minimal frames. Cut into this smooth facade are continuous horizontal slots to create a natural ventilation cavity. By extending the exterior wall glass below the stack joint and recessing the spandrel panel, this cavity allows air to flow into the interior space via a ventilator located above the finish floor. The extended panel also shields the cavity from water infiltration during high wind seasons.

 On the east and west facades, perforated metal sunshades provide solar protection and reflect light onto the interior ceilings. The high-efficiency HVAC system features full economizer capacity. This integrated mechanical and exterior envelope design improves indoor comfort, while reducing the tower’s energy consumption by an estimated four percent compared to the ASHRAE 90.1.2007 baseline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708508793208-QGDE3UHUNIC2IBRIFAPP/Pazhou+Poly-final-small-30.jpg Poly Skyline Plaza - Poly Skyline Plaza / SOM Poly Skyline Plaza is a mixed-use complex that embraces the spirit of its place in Pazhou, an emerging commercial district in Guangzhou.

The extended panel also shields the cavity from water infiltration during high wind seasons.

 On the east and west facades, perforated metal sunshades provide solar protection and reflect light onto the interior ceilings. The high-efficiency HVAC system features full economizer capacity. This integrated mechanical and exterior envelope design improves indoor comfort, while reducing the tower’s energy consumption by an estimated four percent compared to the ASHRAE 90.1.2007 baseline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708508787611-P3RY0R5TMSC7ZN84NVF9/Pazhou+Poly-final-small-21.jpg Poly Skyline Plaza - Poly Skyline Plaza / SOM Poly Skyline Plaza is a mixed-use complex that embraces the spirit of its place in Pazhou, an emerging commercial district in Guangzhou. At this significant site along the Pearl River, the design responds to the region's challenging climate and to the commercial demands of its office, hotel, and residential components. Two towers are distinguished by their aerodynamic forms, an interplay of convex and concave curves oriented to maximize views and improve wind performance.
 The 63-story office tower is configured as a highly efficient workplace with spectacular views of the river and countryside. The 39-story hotel and residential tower follows a similar massing strategy with a smaller floor plate. The fluid exterior form and expression contrasts with the adjacent green countryside, while evoking the flowing Pearl River. Linked by a podium that contains hotel amenities, the pair of towers creates a landmark for the district. 

 The basic geometry of the office tower is a tapered, rounded square plan, with convex facades at the east and the west and subtle concave facades at the north and south. Sculptural apertures at the top of each tower are designed to further reduce wind forces, accommodate wind turbines, and provide dramatic indoor and outdoor meeting and lounge spaces. The six-story podium includes a hotel function room and restaurants with riverfront and garden views, as well as a pool enclosed by an undulating, clerestory-lit roof.

The design uses undulating curves to subtly express three programmatic elements while presenting a bold monolithic expression on the skyline. The 530-meter-tall skyscraper will house office space, luxury serviced apartments, and a hotel. By stacking reducing floor plates, the tower tapers dramatically to minimize the surface area exposed to wind, sun, and moisture. The gently undulating curves of the façade subtly denote the integration of the three distinct programs within a singular smooth object. Square in plan with rounded corners, the floor plate geometry enables unique interior fit-outs and customization options for occupants. Research by the architect has shown that lateral forces due to vortex shedding can be controlled by tapering the vertical profile of the tower and softening any sharp corners in plan. The building’s aerodynamic shape greatly reduces this vortex shedding by “confusing the wind” and disrupting the opportunity for any resonating wind forces and loads on the structure. The softly curving glass skin integrates eight sloping megacolumns that follow a lyrical line connecting the centers and corners of all four elevations.

The design uses undulating curves to subtly express three programmatic elements while presenting a bold monolithic expression on the skyline. The 530-meter-tall skyscraper will house office space, luxury serviced apartments, and a hotel. By stacking reducing floor plates, the tower tapers dramatically to minimize the surface area exposed to wind, sun, and moisture. The gently undulating curves of the façade subtly denote the integration of the three distinct programs within a singular smooth object. Square in plan with rounded corners, the floor plate geometry enables unique interior fit-outs and customization options for occupants. Research by the architect has shown that lateral forces due to vortex shedding can be controlled by tapering the vertical profile of the tower and softening any sharp corners in plan. The building’s aerodynamic shape greatly reduces this vortex shedding by “confusing the wind” and disrupting the opportunity for any resonating wind forces and loads on the structure.

The striking 530m-tall structure has a gently curving glass skin and houses offices, a retail mall, 300 serviced apartments and a 350-room Rosewood Hotel. Spanning 44 floors, our fit-out builds on our client’s brand philosophy – which celebrates art, people and nature – and aim of creating a destination where culture, entertainment, shopping and living converge. Our Northern Lights design concept celebrates nature in the city and draws inspiration from the distinctive light and movement patterns created on the tower’s facade. The lobby features a centrepiece Aurora-inspired ceiling design, with thousands of shimmering glass pearls suspended on rods of different lengths. Light bounces between the pearls, while the rods’ undulating volume complements the building’s curved structure. The design generates a variety of atmospheres, depending on the time of day and amount of light filtering inside. The monolithic central core – wrapped in rustic timber – is the central linking element between the office floors, which are all different due to the building’s undulating form. The wavy ceiling feature also travels up through the core, with a customised Aurora pattern in each lift lobby, while white wallpaper lines the tenant walls. The lower floors are multi-tenant, while the higher floors are single-tenant with individual entrances. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709627358515-UIUANIMHT8VYHV1ZZ2NT/MAKE-Tianjin+CTF-final-small-8.jpg Tianjin CTF Finance Center - Tianjin CTF Finance Center / SOM + Make Architects Make has designed the workplace fit-out for the 96-storey CTF Tower in Tianjin, designed by SOM.

The striking 530m-tall structure has a gently curving glass skin and houses offices, a retail mall, 300 serviced apartments and a 350-room Rosewood Hotel. Spanning 44 floors, our fit-out builds on our client’s brand philosophy – which celebrates art, people and nature – and aim of creating a destination where culture, entertainment, shopping and living converge. Our Northern Lights design concept celebrates nature in the city and draws inspiration from the distinctive light and movement patterns created on the tower’s facade. The lobby features a centrepiece Aurora-inspired ceiling design, with thousands of shimmering glass pearls suspended on rods of different lengths. Light bounces between the pearls, while the rods’ undulating volume complements the building’s curved structure.

The design uses undulating curves to subtly express three programmatic elements while presenting a bold monolithic expression on the skyline. The 530-meter-tall skyscraper will house office space, luxury serviced apartments, and a hotel. By stacking reducing floor plates, the tower tapers dramatically to minimize the surface area exposed to wind, sun, and moisture. The gently undulating curves of the façade subtly denote the integration of the three distinct programs within a singular smooth object. Square in plan with rounded corners, the floor plate geometry enables unique interior fit-outs and customization options for occupants. Research by the architect has shown that lateral forces due to vortex shedding can be controlled by tapering the vertical profile of the tower and softening any sharp corners in plan. The building’s aerodynamic shape greatly reduces this vortex shedding by “confusing the wind” and disrupting the opportunity for any resonating wind forces and loads on the structure. The softly curving glass skin integrates eight sloping megacolumns that follow a lyrical line connecting the centers and corners of all four elevations. These curving megacolumns increase the structure’s response to seismic concerns and are integral to both the gravity and lateral systems. They are effective in increasing the stiffness of the building’s perimeter frame, consequently attracting a larger portion of the seismic forces in compliance with the Chinese code requirements. The façade reinforces the curvature of the tower form and creates a shimmering texture over the building’s surface. The crystalline-like curtain wall stretches from the suspended glass canopies at each of the lobbies to the dematerialized, megacolumn-looped crown and presents a bold expression of a comprehensive, integrated design on the Tianjin skyline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708509332648-FJ0CM13X16PUJ03UYD9F/MAKE-Tianjin+CTF-final-small-4.jpg Tianjin CTF Finance Center - Tianjin CTF Finance Center / SOM + Make Architects The Tianjin CTF Finance Centre is located in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA), an outer district of Tianjin, China.

Mountains and sea, an industrial fabric from the early economic reform era, and recent skyscrapers form a dynamic context. Prince Plaza is located in Shekou’s Sea World district—a unique coastal zone in Shenzhen backed by the Nanshan Mountains and facing the Shenzhen Bay, abundant in public outdoor spaces. The 200-metre mixed-use podium tower at once connects with Shekou’s latest commercial developments, its industrial past, and its everlasting natural environment. The site falls on Shekou’s most prominent view corridor that runs from the mountains to the sea. Prince Plaza takes full advantage of the view corridor without obstructing it. The tower is an ensemble of four bars attached to a central core. Three sky decks—highlighted by a hexagon-patterned facade inspired by hills and waves—are viewing platforms open to vistas of the mountains and the sea. Designed for use by both tenants and public, they add to the collection of the public outdoor spaces in the coastal Sea World district. The sky decks break down the otherwise monolithic 60,000 m2 tower into four bars of different sizes that respond to architecture of distinctive scales in the surroundings. The two bars on one side are slightly set back to increase the perimeter or each floor plate, allowing more natural light into the office space. The tower’s fluted façade, with extra wide glass panels, enable office tenants to visually connect with the mountains and the sea, while further bringing lightness to the slender vertical bars. A 40,000 m2 podium mall occupies the full length of the orthogonal site to maximise street level retail frontage. Different than typical enclosed shopping malls, Prince Plaza’s podium mall has a porous façade and a roof terrace— an extension of the existing commercial and recreational offerings of the Sea World district. A prominent opening— marked by a similar façade as the sky decks—is created at the location through which the view corridor runs. Underground levels of the mall are integrated with two metro lines that connect Prince Plaza to the rest of Shenzhen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708516051396-AH4PCF60KOZKWZ8JPA70/Prince+Plaza-final-small-2.jpg Prince Plaza - Prince Plaza / OMA Shekou is defined by a mixed landscape.

The sky decks break down the otherwise monolithic 60,000 m2 tower into four bars of different sizes that respond to architecture of distinctive scales in the surroundings. The two bars on one side are slightly set back to increase the perimeter or each floor plate, allowing more natural light into the office space. The tower’s fluted façade, with extra wide glass panels, enable office tenants to visually connect with the mountains and the sea, while further bringing lightness to the slender vertical bars. A 40,000 m2 podium mall occupies the full length of the orthogonal site to maximise street level retail frontage. Different than typical enclosed shopping malls, Prince Plaza’s podium mall has a porous façade and a roof terrace— an extension of the existing commercial and recreational offerings of the Sea World district. A prominent opening— marked by a similar façade as the sky decks—is created at the location through which the view corridor runs. Underground levels of the mall are integrated with two metro lines that connect Prince Plaza to the rest of Shenzhen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708516057355-ZV9VLL5JQAD1OW33O29M/Prince+Plaza-final-small-12.jpg Prince Plaza - Prince Plaza / OMA Shekou is defined by a mixed landscape.

Prince Plaza is located in Shekou’s Sea World district—a unique coastal zone in Shenzhen backed by the Nanshan Mountains and facing the Shenzhen Bay, abundant in public outdoor spaces. The 200-metre mixed-use podium tower at once connects with Shekou’s latest commercial developments, its industrial past, and its everlasting natural environment.

An enlivened podium provides a variety of retail experiences, including a large indoor mall and a small-scale shopping village. Designed with an emphasis on elegance and simplicity, the towers are a timeless addition to the Shenzhen skyline. In order to provide world-class office spaces, the design incorporates flexible floor plates, highly efficient systems, and unobstructed city views—all features that greatly enhance the user experience. SOM’s architecture and engineering teams collaborated on the design of both signature towers as well as the ballroom pavilion. The taller tower, rising 80 stories and 389 meters, contains office space in the lower floors and a luxury hotel at the top. It is supported by a central core and eight megacolumns at the perimeter, a structural solution which minimizes obstructions and opens up panoramic views. These qualities are further enhanced by the curtain wall design, which incorporates oversized glass on a 3-meter module throughout. The second tower, entirely dedicated to offices, features the same 3-meter curtain wall grid. The ballroom pavilion features a unique outdoor public terrace that connects to the elevated public green. This 12.5-meter high open-air space frames views of Beacon Hill Park, which lies directly to the east of the pavilion. Two large ballrooms above this terrace offer panoramic views to both the east and west, and restaurants are located on the upper floor. The faceted design of the Pavilion resulted from a structural concept—the folded enclosure to the north, south, and on the roof provides a structural depth which enables the long spans for the ballroom spaces. SOM also designed the two bridges that connect the site to the parks, which feature a meandering pathway to provide a varied experience along their length. The east bridge descends from the elevated green at a gentle slope, zig-zags across Huanggang Road to the east, and lands amid the tree-filled Beacon Hill Park. The west bridge, with its long spans across Caitian Road, is designed to provide a more protected pedestrian experience. The main pedestrian pathway weaves between successive garden spaces, while the depth of the bridge varies in correspondence with the long spans between columns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708516476226-JUBN6I7G69X8NCE16AW6/Shen+Ye+Upperhills-final-small-14.jpg Shen Ye Upperhills Development - Shen Ye Upperhills Mixed-Use Development / SOM A new destination located just north of Shenzhen’s main central business district, this mixed-use development features two landmark towers, a ballroom pavilion, and a large elevated pedestrian park that connects the hills of the city’s two major parks: Lotus Hill Park to the southwest and Beacon Hill Park to the northeast.

The east bridge descends from the elevated green at a gentle slope, zig-zags across Huanggang Road to the east, and lands amid the tree-filled Beacon Hill Park. The west bridge, with its long spans across Caitian Road, is designed to provide a more protected pedestrian experience. The main pedestrian pathway weaves between successive garden spaces, while the depth of the bridge varies in correspondence with the long spans between columns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708516470187-8SB3P3O6GVYPMS9TPEAB/Shen+Ye+Upperhills-final-small-11.jpg Shen Ye Upperhills Development - Shen Ye Upperhills Mixed-Use Development / SOM A new destination located just north of Shenzhen’s main central business district, this mixed-use development features two landmark towers, a ballroom pavilion, and a large elevated pedestrian park that connects the hills of the city’s two major parks: Lotus Hill Park to the southwest and Beacon Hill Park to the northeast. An enlivened podium provides a variety of retail experiences, including a large indoor mall and a small-scale shopping village. Designed with an emphasis on elegance and simplicity, the towers are a timeless addition to the Shenzhen skyline. In order to provide world-class office spaces, the design incorporates flexible floor plates, highly efficient systems, and unobstructed city views—all features that greatly enhance the user experience. SOM’s architecture and engineering teams collaborated on the design of both signature towers as well as the ballroom pavilion. The taller tower, rising 80 stories and 389 meters, contains office space in the lower floors and a luxury hotel at the top. It is supported by a central core and eight megacolumns at the perimeter, a structural solution which minimizes obstructions and opens up panoramic views. These qualities are further enhanced by the curtain wall design, which incorporates oversized glass on a 3-meter module throughout. The second tower, entirely dedicated to offices, features the same 3-meter curtain wall grid. The ballroom pavilion features a unique outdoor public terrace that connects to the elevated public green. This 12.5-meter high open-air space frames views of Beacon Hill Park, which lies directly to the east of the pavilion. Two large ballrooms above this terrace offer panoramic views to both the east and west, and restaurants are located on the upper floor.

Qingdao Financial City is located centrally in the Qingdao Laoshan District and is an international, mixed-use development at the core of the Jinjialing new financial area. A high-value, regional and cultural landmark, the project consists of Class-A office space and luxury five-star hotels. Qingdao Financial City provides an urban center that balances modernity with timelessness and reinforces strong internal and external connections to the city. The project links directly to a large plaza south of the site, which offers a key gathering place and provides a venue where the client and tenants can host gatherings and festivals. At 193-meters tall, each tower consists of five glass “jewel” boxes stacked vertically, symbolizing the prosperity of Jinjialing as a new financial center for the Northeast region of China. The glass boxes decrease in height as they ascend, forming a gradated, elegant silhouette. The shape of each box is chamfered at the corners to emphasize the prismatic nature. This design also reduces the wind loads on the tower, increasing their stability. Recessed mechanical floors sit between boxes, allowing for inconspicuous and efficient mechanical ventilation. At the base, a podium connects both towers through roof terraces, a grand ballroom, and dining spaces that sponsor an active mixed-use lifestyle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710174261452-ZEGHOWFPA4TK1HZGZPG1/Qingdao+Financial+Center-final-small-1.jpg Qingdao Financial City - Qingdao Financial City / KPF Emulating the Fushan Hill to the west and Laoshan Mountain to the east, Qingdao Financial City features a pair of iconic towers that create a new gateway for the city.

The building houses the university’s architecture, design, and computer science programs, is made to be occupied by students from around campus. The space features three stories of tiered seating overlooked by open balconies and an overhead bridge connecting the hall’s east and west wings. The Wenzhou-Kean campus, a 175-acre site surrounded by mountains about an hour south of Shanghai, was created through a master plan by Michael Graves’s office that placed the university’s architecture and design schools (both named for Graves himself) at its center. Eight oblong “bar” buildings, clad in Angola black granite, form the structure’s three-floor base, hosting community spaces and classrooms, flexible exhibition areas, a makerspace, a digital-media auditorium, and a lakeside café. Punched windows and deep inset ledges emphasize the three-foot thickness of the walls while also providing interior shading and hiding mechanicals and ductwork. The bars are capped by two striking, daylit studio loft buildings, which form the fourth and fifth floors and offer more traditional architectural design studio spaces. These are fronted with ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) sunshades. As the hall welcomes students from near and far, and from different disciplines across campus, it is on its way to achieving its potential as a campus gathering place and an incubator for the future. “This is a place for architecture, urban and industrial design, and computer science; by the time you put all those things together, you’re talking about the future fabric of society,” says Ruble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708517121257-DRQT4X6ZM2QVH9M9Q3U6/WKU+Shoot+1-final-small-6.jpg Ge Hekai Hall at Wenzhou-Kean University - Ge Hekai Hall at Wenzhou-Kean University / Moore Ruble Yudell Designed by Moore Ruble Yudell (MRY), Ge Hekai is anchored by an 800-seat central forum at Wenzhou-Kean Univeristy.

The Wenzhou-Kean campus, a 175-acre site surrounded by mountains about an hour south of Shanghai, was created through a master plan by Michael Graves’s office that placed the university’s architecture and design schools (both named for Graves himself) at its center. Eight oblong “bar” buildings, clad in Angola black granite, form the structure’s three-floor base, hosting community spaces and classrooms, flexible exhibition areas, a makerspace, a digital-media auditorium, and a lakeside café. Punched windows and deep inset ledges emphasize the three-foot thickness of the walls while also providing interior shading and hiding mechanicals and ductwork. The bars are capped by two striking, daylit studio loft buildings, which form the fourth and fifth floors and offer more traditional architectural design studio spaces. These are fronted with ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) sunshades. As the hall welcomes students from near and far, and from different disciplines across campus, it is on its way to achieving its potential as a campus gathering place and an incubator for the future. “This is a place for architecture, urban and industrial design, and computer science; by the time you put all those things together, you’re talking about the future fabric of society,” says Ruble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708517963584-MQI3K2P3MH5O3S62S6JU/WKU+Shoot+1+Unretouched-final-small-4.jpg Ge Hekai Hall at Wenzhou-Kean University - Ge Hekai Hall at Wenzhou-Kean University / Moore Ruble Yudell Designed by Moore Ruble Yudell (MRY), Ge Hekai is anchored by an 800-seat central forum at Wenzhou-Kean Univeristy.

Built in 1996, the building occupies one of the best locations in Beijing, along Jianguomen street at the cross with Chang’an Avenue, 1km away from the Forbidden City.

 Two V-shaped fourteen storey office towers cut into the surrounding urban environment at a 45 degree angle. They are linked together by the central square shaped complex, creating a structure with sharp corners and a strong sense of geometry.

 The re-development focused on "innovation through renovation", a concept that has guided many of Kokaistudios' previous work.

Built in 1996, the building occupies one of the best locations in Beijing, along Jianguomen street at the cross with Chang’an Avenue, 1km away from the Forbidden City.

 Two V-shaped fourteen storey office towers cut into the surrounding urban environment at a 45 degree angle. They are linked together by the central square shaped complex, creating a structure with sharp corners and a strong sense of geometry.

The design of the reconfigured mall has focused on giving the centre a much more civic approach, aiming to improve connections as part of a wider masterplan and its own distinct character. The refurbishment has breathed new life into the existing mall and made it feel like a skilfully composed urban district, prioritising the customer experience with a focus on high-end luxury. With over 260 shops and 500 brands, The MixC, Shenzhen is a major shopping destination in the Great Bay Area. As part of a wider sweep of regenerative changes, Make Architects worked with the client, China Resources Land, to improve orientation for shoppers by reconfiguring the original building’s layout, strengthening connections between the mall and surrounding streets and rethinking the interior design concept to communicate the luxurious nature of the brands and using the site’s location on the Pearl River Delta, an historic nexus for trade. The theme of water recurs throughout Make’s remodelling of MixC with streams, cascades and currents informing the design language of each of its zones. The ‘stream’ motif flows through the north and south arcades, with gentle, subtle detailing; the ‘cascade’ motif defines the Boutique Gallery, using strong geometric patterns and bold materials; and the ‘currents’ motif distinguishes the Lower Gallery, with smooth, continuous changes in scale accentuating a sense of scale in the space. While each of these spaces has its own identity, they are united by materials like marble and limestone associated with timeless civic architecture. Flowing feature ceilings guide the public through the mall with a sculpted quality. The distinct herringbone patterned floors with their understated directional pattern also encourage intuitive movement through the mall. Griffen Lim, designer at Make, said: “Any contemporary refurbishment work in the original MixC needs to reflect the enduring grandeur of the brand. Our new interiors are uplifting and equate the MixC name with a subtle elegance befitting this important local landmark.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708518738176-GUL35W19EVKO6AO4UPI7/MixC+North+Arcade-final-small-4.jpg Shenzhen MixC - Shenzhen MixC / Make Architects Shenzhen’s MixC shopping mall has been reimagined by Make Architects to response to the city’s fast-expanding economy with its growing population of over 12.5 million inhabitants.

The design of the reconfigured mall has focused on giving the centre a much more civic approach, aiming to improve connections as part of a wider masterplan and its own distinct character. The refurbishment has breathed new life into the existing mall and made it feel like a skilfully composed urban district, prioritising the customer experience with a focus on high-end luxury. With over 260 shops and 500 brands, The MixC, Shenzhen is a major shopping destination in the Great Bay Area. As part of a wider sweep of regenerative changes, Make Architects worked with the client, China Resources Land, to improve orientation for shoppers by reconfiguring the original building’s layout, strengthening connections between the mall and surrounding streets and rethinking the interior design concept to communicate the luxurious nature of the brands and using the site’s location on the Pearl River Delta, an historic nexus for trade. The theme of water recurs throughout Make’s remodelling of MixC with streams, cascades and currents informing the design language of each of its zones. The ‘stream’ motif flows through the north and south arcades, with gentle, subtle detailing; the ‘cascade’ motif defines the Boutique Gallery, using strong geometric patterns and bold materials; and the ‘currents’ motif distinguishes the Lower Gallery, with smooth, continuous changes in scale accentuating a sense of scale in the space. While each of these spaces has its own identity, they are united by materials like marble and limestone associated with timeless civic architecture. Flowing feature ceilings guide the public through the mall with a sculpted quality. The distinct herringbone patterned floors with their understated directional pattern also encourage intuitive movement through the mall.

Asked by the client to make the building a visual statement, MVRDV created a multifaceted volume that responds to its surroundings with a pearlescent ceramic façade, which shimmers in a spectrum of colours under changing light conditions.

 Located just within Beijing’s innermost ring road, the KWG·M·CUBE is prominently located next to the Beijing Railway Station and near to both the Temple of Heaven to the Southwest, and Tiananmen and the Forbidden City to the Northwest. Given this prime location and the consequent value of the land, the client wanted a building that would stand out from its mostly beige and grey neighbours, while also packing a large amount of space into a relatively small footprint. Contradicting this request were the desires of the city government, whose preference was for a building that would fit in with its muted surroundings on the busy street.

 MVRDV was commissioned to design the building’s exterior and responded to these competing hopes with a 7-storey volume that rises to the maximum allowed height of 36 metres—an unusually tall building for this kind of mall. The shape of the building was generated by cutting the volume at various angles to orient the façades to face key locations, such as the railway station and an intersection on the other side of the street, generating a shape that is both contextual and recognizable in its visual presence. It also allowed MVRDV to include open-air terraces on each level, which are symbolically oriented towards landmarks such as the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven—some visible from the building, others more distant—to root the building in its location.

 The building is wrapped in a pearlescent ceramic façade that at different times appears either grey or colourful, creating a subtle façade that does not need large LED screens to stand out and catch the attention of the passers-by. Hand-glazed in China, these tiles were made by applying three layers of glaze to the ceramic, and firing at a different temperature each time.

 “We designed the KWG·M·CUBE so that the building continuously displays new patterns and colours. Depending on the weather and light conditions and where you stand, the façade might look subtly grey, or it might shine with all the colours of the rainbow,” says Jacob van Rijs, principal and co-founder of MVRDV. “In this part of Beijing, there are restrictions on architecture and many nearby buildings are completed in shades of grey and beige. Our solution allowed us to do exactly what the client and the city wanted: to create an attractive visual statement in which exuberance and modesty go hand in hand.”

 The surface treatment of the façade also breaks up the mass of the building while responding to the light and view requirements of the interior program. While some areas of the surface were required to have blind facades to accommodate the stores behind, other stores are able to use diffuse light to their advantage, and here the ceramic tiles are used in a checkerboard pattern. In other places such as lobbies and cafes, fully glazed facades provide a visual connection between the inside of the shopping centre and the mall.

 To accommodate the building’s 7-storey height, MVRDV proposed to split the KWG·M·CUBE shopping centre into two layers: on the lower 3 floors is the daytime shopping centre, which mostly hosts retail stores, while the upper levels feature more restaurants, bars, and cafés, and will truly come alive at night. In order to allow the upper floors to function while the lower floors are closed, an express elevator from the ground level takes visitors up to a second lobby on the fourth floor. To complete this layering effect, a landscaped roof terrace allows visitors to relax outside when the weather is pleasant.

Contradicting this request were the desires of the city government, whose preference was for a building that would fit in with its muted surroundings on the busy street.

 MVRDV was commissioned to design the building’s exterior and responded to these competing hopes with a 7-storey volume that rises to the maximum allowed height of 36 metres—an unusually tall building for this kind of mall. The shape of the building was generated by cutting the volume at various angles to orient the façades to face key locations, such as the railway station and an intersection on the other side of the street, generating a shape that is both contextual and recognizable in its visual presence. It also allowed MVRDV to include open-air terraces on each level, which are symbolically oriented towards landmarks such as the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven—some visible from the building, others more distant—to root the building in its location.

 The building is wrapped in a pearlescent ceramic façade that at different times appears either grey or colourful, creating a subtle façade that does not need large LED screens to stand out and catch the attention of the passers-by. Hand-glazed in China, these tiles were made by applying three layers of glaze to the ceramic, and firing at a different temperature each time.

 “We designed the KWG·M·CUBE so that the building continuously displays new patterns and colours. Depending on the weather and light conditions and where you stand, the façade might look subtly grey, or it might shine with all the colours of the rainbow,” says Jacob van Rijs, principal and co-founder of MVRDV. “In this part of Beijing, there are restrictions on architecture and many nearby buildings are completed in shades of grey and beige. Our solution allowed us to do exactly what the client and the city wanted: to create an attractive visual statement in which exuberance and modesty go hand in hand.”

 The surface treatment of the façade also breaks up the mass of the building while responding to the light and view requirements of the interior program. While some areas of the surface were required to have blind facades to accommodate the stores behind, other stores are able to use diffuse light to their advantage, and here the ceramic tiles are used in a checkerboard pattern. In other places such as lobbies and cafes, fully glazed facades provide a visual connection between the inside of the shopping centre and the mall.

 To accommodate the building’s 7-storey height, MVRDV proposed to split the KWG·M·CUBE shopping centre into two layers: on the lower 3 floors is the daytime shopping centre, which mostly hosts retail stores, while the upper levels feature more restaurants, bars, and cafés, and will truly come alive at night. In order to allow the upper floors to function while the lower floors are closed, an express elevator from the ground level takes visitors up to a second lobby on the fourth floor. To complete this layering effect, a landscaped roof terrace allows visitors to relax outside when the weather is pleasant.

Asked by the client to make the building a visual statement, MVRDV created a multifaceted volume that responds to its surroundings with a pearlescent ceramic façade, which shimmers in a spectrum of colours under changing light conditions.

 In contrast to the density of its urban neighbors, the design of PCPA’s building is airy and buoyant. The triple- height Y- shaped columns that support the base of the tower deliver an exciting visual on the street, announcing the building’s presence. While solid in breadth, they seem to lift the base effortlessly. Metal fins wrap around the crisp glass and steel curtain wall, creating a lively pattern the full height of the building’s compact vertical massing. Each office floor will have spectacular views of the waterfront, Victoria Harbor and Kowloon Bay.

 The project meets Gold Well Building Standards, Platinum Asia Regional Intelligent Green Building, and LEED Platinum. Key environmental concerns such as dense urban congestion and extreme afternoon temperatures are addressed. The curved corners of the building allow air to flow continuously throughout the tightly built- up neighborhood. High- performance metal sunshades wrap the exterior of each floor to minimize the effect of the intense solar rays from overheating the interior spaces. The shades are designed to function specifically to the sun’s orientation. On the north- west corner, they extend outwards and downward to mitigate the harsh afternoon sun. On the south- west corner, a second shade extends out to block the higher angled mid- day sun. Concurrently, this second feature acts as a light- shelf that directs daylight deeper into office interiors, significantly reducing the need for artificial lighting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708520122648-0HWG9SI7053FBUAQQS50/North+Point+Building-final-small-1.jpg 18 King Wah Road - 18 King Wah Road / Pelli Clarke & Partners Located in North Point, the eastern district of Hong Kong Island, 18 King Wah Road is a new 23- story office building in Hong Kong and second commission for Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects. 18 King Wah Road commands a striking view of Victoria Harbor and Kowloon Bay, and to the west, PCPA’s iconic International Financial Centre marks the skyline.

 The project meets Gold Well Building Standards, Platinum Asia Regional Intelligent Green Building, and LEED Platinum. Key environmental concerns such as dense urban congestion and extreme afternoon temperatures are addressed. The curved corners of the building allow air to flow continuously throughout the tightly built- up neighborhood. High- performance metal sunshades wrap the exterior of each floor to minimize the effect of the intense solar rays from overheating the interior spaces. The shades are designed to function specifically to the sun’s orientation. On the north- west corner, they extend outwards and downward to mitigate the harsh afternoon sun. On the south- west corner, a second shade extends out to block the higher angled mid- day sun. Concurrently, this second feature acts as a light- shelf that directs daylight deeper into office interiors, significantly reducing the need for artificial lighting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708520129112-S0Y3X6V8USTJ156MC37K/North+Point+Building-final-small-10.jpg 18 King Wah Road - 18 King Wah Road / Pelli Clarke & Partners Located in North Point, the eastern district of Hong Kong Island, 18 King Wah Road is a new 23- story office building in Hong Kong and second commission for Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects. 18 King Wah Road commands a striking view of Victoria Harbor and Kowloon Bay, and to the west, PCPA’s iconic International Financial Centre marks the skyline.

 In contrast to the density of its urban neighbors, the design of PCPA’s building is airy and buoyant. The triple- height Y- shaped columns that support the base of the tower deliver an exciting visual on the street, announcing the building’s presence. While solid in breadth, they seem to lift the base effortlessly.

Situated 180 kilometres south-west of Shanghai, Hangzhou is one of China's most prosperous cities, especially renowned for its scenic landscapes. Located in Qianjiang New Town near the Qiantang River, this mixed-use development becomes a major landmark along the green axis of the city's new CBD. A rich mix of 24/7 functions occupies almost 400,000m2 within two stremlined towers set atop a podium and landscaped plaza. The architectural expressions throughout the building connect the combined programmes in one seamless flow. The 116,000m2 retail podium at the base of the tower begins this interconnected flow, organised as two diagonal and intersecting figure-of-eights. It accommodates retail, restaurants, leisure facilities and parking and has a direct underground connection to the metro. This wide range of mixed-use functions, not only provides residents and those working or staying in the complex with a healthy and socially integrated environment, it also ensures that programmes are active around the clock, creating a safe and lively neighbourhood for all. In the design of the two towers, the urban face of the project twists towards the landscape, while the landscape aspect, in turn, acknowledges the urban context. Through this, the urban context and the landscape of the city are consolidated in one gesture. The main entrance to the south of the corner site appears as a prominent gateway from the city park and civic centre, as it borders both the urban built-up context and green axis/city park that connects West Lake to the Qiantang River. Reflecting the movement in the river, the tower design features a wave-like motion. These concentric waves increase in their dynamism, starting calmly at the base and building up more vigorously along the vertical axis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708524486168-XE6SB71O83MB2A2YX72M/Raffles+City+Hangzhou-final-small-16.jpg Raffles City Hangzhou - Raffles City Hangzhou / UNStudio Raffles City is a sustainable urban hub for living, working and leisure located in Hangzhou, one of China's most picturesque cities.

 Around it, twelve doors will open, each revealing a story about Audemars Piguet: from its origins to the 21st century, from watchmaking to contemporary art, from the Vallée de Joux to China.

 The themed rooms exhibit a close-up experience of the iconic swiss brand, linking the past to the present.

 200 historical and contemporary timepieces are exhibited, transporting visitors on a 141 year-long journey. On display in the mirror room are rare vintage watches that have made milestones in the maison’s history.

 Audemars Piguet has always sought to integrate creative vision with technical mastery, as horology, artisanship and artistry have been closely intertwined for centuries.

 The brand is pushing a different kind of boundary, having embarked on this journey from Le Brassus to China, and is looking forward to witnessing the encounter between these two very different worlds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708612321174-5QGATA6DWI4WSQE7PSH1/AP+Installation-final-small-35.jpg Audemars Piguet Shanghai Exhibition - Audemars Piguet Shanghai Exhibition / Mathieu Lehanneur French artist and designer Mathieu Lehanneur was appointed to conceive a special installation that is made of 12 rooms, forming a large ring – an allusion to a watch dial.

 In the middle of the circle stands a huge rock, created from cast replicas of those found in Audemars Piguet’s home in the Vallée de Joux.

 Around it, twelve doors will open, each revealing a story about Audemars Piguet: from its origins to the 21st century, from watchmaking to contemporary art, from the Vallée de Joux to China.

 The themed rooms exhibit a close-up experience of the iconic swiss brand, linking the past to the present.

To foster dialogue between the brand and Chinese consumers, Hansgrohe commissioned Ippolito Fleitz Group to design its first innovation centre abroad, the 'Hansgrohe InnovationParc', in Shanghai. The Hansgrohe InnovationParc is housed in a three-storey industrial building on the west bank of Shanghai's Huangpu River, historically a manufacturing and trading area. The building was originally a shipyard; its architectural features, in particular its third floor with a chimney-shaped opening, inspired the redevelopment by Ippolito Fleitz Group, who created a space that transcends traditional boundaries. This new place is not just a showroom, an office or an event space, but a space open to all these functions, a space that can thus encourage open-mindedness and innovation. In designing the space, designer from Ippolito Fleitz Group were guided by the concept of fluidity, both because Hansgrohe's business has to do with water and because the company's success is centred on the user and the constant question of how the user would interact with its products in multiple scenarios. This has been translated into an architectural language by reconstructing the journey of water within the building. In Chinese thought, water symbolises intelligence, wisdom and softness. The first floor of the Hansgrohe space tells of water's constant adaptability, flexibility, agility as well as the adaptability of technology to consumer trends. This floor focuses on activation, emphasising the activities within the space rather than its static design. There are two entrances on opposite sides, with an innovation table in the middle, showing the path from idea to product and the latest research of the research and development team. The table is topped by wooden panels into which Laser Blade recessed fittings with General Lighting optics are inserted for even illumination of the entire surface. Further inside, near the opposite entrance, is a digital water forest that invites interaction, providing insights into the brand's history and ideas. The space is designed without a predefined path for the customer, encouraging exploration and discovery. The individual trees in the forest are lit from below by Underscore RGB lightlines that provide variable illumination in tones ranging from green to blue. The second floor is dedicated to product innovation and attention to detail. It houses the research and development department for prototyping, areas reminiscent of showers and a nimble office area, where meeting rooms are lit by Blade R that also house recessed Easy. In the lobby there is a cosy spa-like atmosphere: customers can enter areas reminiscent of egg-shaped showers and try out products, experimenting with different shower types. This intimate and immersive experience engages customers with water and creates lasting memories and affinities. In this area there are also many plants that are illuminated by Palco projectors installed on the shower structures, the light coming from below casts the shadows of the plants on the walls and ceiling, helping to emphasise the pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, while diffuse but non-invasive light is provided by ∅ 17 mm Laser recessed fixtures. The third floor shows the power and creativity of innovation. Here you will find versatile workspaces, a conference area that allows for different configurations, and a hybrid meeting space. This floor is designed to invite collaboration, encourage concentration, and foster innovation. It features a striking architectural element: a ceiling with large curved parts that narrows into a bottleneck with a height of 18 metres. This element connects the inside with the outside through a skylight, allowing natural light to illuminate the area. To take full advantage of this extraordinary architecture, Ippolito Fleitz Group has positioned a digital waterfall that seems to descend from the chimney-like structure. Just below the waterfall is the events and workshop area, a versatile space where people can gather and collaborate, as if around a bonfire. In this space characterised by curved shapes, Agora RGBW floodlights are aimed upwards and indirectly illuminate this area, immersing everything in a blue atmosphere. Flexibility makes the space of the Innovation Parc exceptional. The design allows for seamless transformations. The possibilities are endless, from a vibrant, colourful environment to a more sober ambience. Ippolito Fleitz Group has created a space that does not impose its own identity, but evolves according to the activities of the users and the brand itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710213362757-E2ZB9J5GP1AYY56DJJK3/Hansgrohe+Innovation+Parc-final-small-1.jpg Hansgrohe InnovationParc - Hansgrohe InnovationParc / iGuzzini + IFG Hansgrohe, a world leader in kitchen and bathroom tap and fittings, has been at the forefront of science and technology in the industry for more than 120 years.

The third floor shows the power and creativity of innovation. Here you will find versatile workspaces, a conference area that allows for different configurations, and a hybrid meeting space. This floor is designed to invite collaboration, encourage concentration, and foster innovation. It features a striking architectural element: a ceiling with large curved parts that narrows into a bottleneck with a height of 18 metres. This element connects the inside with the outside through a skylight, allowing natural light to illuminate the area. To take full advantage of this extraordinary architecture, Ippolito Fleitz Group has positioned a digital waterfall that seems to descend from the chimney-like structure. Just below the waterfall is the events and workshop area, a versatile space where people can gather and collaborate, as if around a bonfire. In this space characterised by curved shapes, Agora RGBW floodlights are aimed upwards and indirectly illuminate this area, immersing everything in a blue atmosphere. Flexibility makes the space of the Innovation Parc exceptional. The design allows for seamless transformations. The possibilities are endless, from a vibrant, colourful environment to a more sober ambience. Ippolito Fleitz Group has created a space that does not impose its own identity, but evolves according to the activities of the users and the brand itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710174343781-JDSINV1IPP0F7WOSRQ00/Hansgrohe+Innovation+Parc-final-small-2.jpg Hansgrohe InnovationParc - Hansgrohe InnovationParc / iGuzzini + IFG Hansgrohe, a world leader in kitchen and bathroom tap and fittings, has been at the forefront of science and technology in the industry for more than 120 years. To foster dialogue between the brand and Chinese consumers, Hansgrohe commissioned Ippolito Fleitz Group to design its first innovation centre abroad, the 'Hansgrohe InnovationParc', in Shanghai. The Hansgrohe InnovationParc is housed in a three-storey industrial building on the west bank of Shanghai's Huangpu River, historically a manufacturing and trading area. The building was originally a shipyard; its architectural features, in particular its third floor with a chimney-shaped opening, inspired the redevelopment by Ippolito Fleitz Group, who created a space that transcends traditional boundaries. This new place is not just a showroom, an office or an event space, but a space open to all these functions, a space that can thus encourage open-mindedness and innovation. In designing the space, designer from Ippolito Fleitz Group were guided by the concept of fluidity, both because Hansgrohe's business has to do with water and because the company's success is centred on the user and the constant question of how the user would interact with its products in multiple scenarios. This has been translated into an architectural language by reconstructing the journey of water within the building. In Chinese thought, water symbolises intelligence, wisdom and softness. The first floor of the Hansgrohe space tells of water's constant adaptability, flexibility, agility as well as the adaptability of technology to consumer trends. This floor focuses on activation, emphasising the activities within the space rather than its static design. There are two entrances on opposite sides, with an innovation table in the middle, showing the path from idea to product and the latest research of the research and development team. The table is topped by wooden panels into which Laser Blade recessed fittings with General Lighting optics are inserted for even illumination of the entire surface. Further inside, near the opposite entrance, is a digital water forest that invites interaction, providing insights into the brand's history and ideas. The space is designed without a predefined path for the customer, encouraging exploration and discovery. The individual trees in the forest are lit from below by Underscore RGB lightlines that provide variable illumination in tones ranging from green to blue. The second floor is dedicated to product innovation and attention to detail. It houses the research and development department for prototyping, areas reminiscent of showers and a nimble office area, where meeting rooms are lit by Blade R that also house recessed Easy. In the lobby there is a cosy spa-like atmosphere: customers can enter areas reminiscent of egg-shaped showers and try out products, experimenting with different shower types. This intimate and immersive experience engages customers with water and creates lasting memories and affinities.

The space is designed without a predefined path for the customer, encouraging exploration and discovery. The individual trees in the forest are lit from below by Underscore RGB lightlines that provide variable illumination in tones ranging from green to blue. The second floor is dedicated to product innovation and attention to detail. It houses the research and development department for prototyping, areas reminiscent of showers and a nimble office area, where meeting rooms are lit by Blade R that also house recessed Easy. In the lobby there is a cosy spa-like atmosphere: customers can enter areas reminiscent of egg-shaped showers and try out products, experimenting with different shower types. This intimate and immersive experience engages customers with water and creates lasting memories and affinities. In this area there are also many plants that are illuminated by Palco projectors installed on the shower structures, the light coming from below casts the shadows of the plants on the walls and ceiling, helping to emphasise the pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, while diffuse but non-invasive light is provided by ∅ 17 mm Laser recessed fixtures. The third floor shows the power and creativity of innovation. Here you will find versatile workspaces, a conference area that allows for different configurations, and a hybrid meeting space. This floor is designed to invite collaboration, encourage concentration, and foster innovation. It features a striking architectural element: a ceiling with large curved parts that narrows into a bottleneck with a height of 18 metres. This element connects the inside with the outside through a skylight, allowing natural light to illuminate the area. To take full advantage of this extraordinary architecture, Ippolito Fleitz Group has positioned a digital waterfall that seems to descend from the chimney-like structure. Just below the waterfall is the events and workshop area, a versatile space where people can gather and collaborate, as if around a bonfire. In this space characterised by curved shapes, Agora RGBW floodlights are aimed upwards and indirectly illuminate this area, immersing everything in a blue atmosphere. Flexibility makes the space of the Innovation Parc exceptional. The design allows for seamless transformations. The possibilities are endless, from a vibrant, colourful environment to a more sober ambience. Ippolito Fleitz Group has created a space that does not impose its own identity, but evolves according to the activities of the users and the brand itself. http://www.sethpowersphotography.com/peets-coffee-ucca-beijing daily 0.75 2024-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708612942587-DZYS38RLA118STBAKRG3/Peets+UCCA-final-small-1-edit.jpeg Peet’s Coffee UCCA Beijing - Peet’s Coffee UCCA Beijing / red design The main materials used throughout Peet’s Coffee stores - warm timber finishes, white painted walls, plants which embody the Peet’s Californian origins - are present within the UCCA space, ensuring that the store remains consistent with the brand identity established in China.

The shopping mall stands at a very busy intersection and with Starbucks Reserve located on the first floor, it was pertinent for SeeSaw to maintain its originality. The designer TAKESHI HOSAKA architects focused on featuring coffee beans native to China in the design concept and aimed to provide a cozy and friendly atmosphere for their young clientele. Stainless steel mirrors shaped like coffee beans hang from the ceiling throughout the store. The bustling intersection of cars, bikes and people outside are drawn into the store through the mirrors, invoking an urban atmosphere. The mirrors also reflect the appearance of baristas working inside the store. The youthful and vibrant interior contrasts with the dim lighting, creating a unique atmosphere. The designer gave serious consideration to creating a relaxing setting for drinking coffee, since the fixed glass facade on the third floor could easily give a closed-off and stagnant feeling to the space. Shanghai is known to be a bustling city with lots of foot, bicycle and car traffic, so the designer took advantage of the “moving” city and incorporated the “floating coffee bean” mirrors to reflect not only the exterior views but also the daily scenes of people, bicycles and cars constantly moving. These reflections also give people a fresh perspective on the urban scenery that they are familiar with. The mirrors take on a variety of different shapes and sizes, depending on where the customer sits. The shape of the coffee bean mirrors have also been carefully considered. The coffee beans are shaped like the number "0", with a "1" in the center. In the binary world, "0" and "1" can generate unlimited information. The designer uses ones and zeros to represent SeeSaw’s changing collection of fresh coffee beans from around the world, and the brand’s openness and willingness to take on changes and challenges. At dusk, coffee beans emerge from the dimly lit store, captivating the interest of people waiting for traffic at the intersection outside of the mall. The middle of the space can be easily converted into a meeting space, perfect for hosting events. There are also spaces behind the pillars where customers can take off their shoes, relax and enjoy the view of the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The mirrors take on a variety of different shapes and sizes, depending on where the customer sits. The shape of the coffee bean mirrors have also been carefully considered. The coffee beans are shaped like the number "0", with a "1" in the center. In the binary world, "0" and "1" can generate unlimited information. The designer uses ones and zeros to represent SeeSaw’s changing collection of fresh coffee beans from around the world, and the brand’s openness and willingness to take on changes and challenges. At dusk, coffee beans emerge from the dimly lit store, captivating the interest of people waiting for traffic at the intersection outside of the mall. The middle of the space can be easily converted into a meeting space, perfect for hosting events. There are also spaces behind the pillars where customers can take off their shoes, relax and enjoy the view of the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The shopping mall stands at a very busy intersection and with Starbucks Reserve located on the first floor, it was pertinent for SeeSaw to maintain its originality. The designer TAKESHI HOSAKA architects focused on featuring coffee beans native to China in the design concept and aimed to provide a cozy and friendly atmosphere for their young clientele. Stainless steel mirrors shaped like coffee beans hang from the ceiling throughout the store. The bustling intersection of cars, bikes and people outside are drawn into the store through the mirrors, invoking an urban atmosphere. The mirrors also reflect the appearance of baristas working inside the store. The youthful and vibrant interior contrasts with the dim lighting, creating a unique atmosphere.

Given the vastness and busyness of the site, our natural instinct was to enclose the restaurant to offer an intimate and calm environment, while maintaining connectivity to its surroundings. As an independent volume, the bistro is defined by a quiet rectilinear shell, carefully proportioned and inserted into place. Like a traditional wooden Chinese lunch box, once opened reveals its contents within a geometry of simple voids and lines inside. Guests have full view of the dishes being prepared, a coming together of hand-made rice noodles, ample fresh vegetables and herbs is a feast for both the eyes and stomach. As the dining room’s centrepiece, a composition of large ceramic plates hovers over a communal banquet sized table and suffuses the space with softness and colour. The ceramic plates, which are painstakingly hand thrown and glazed in traditional tones by local potters in Jingdezhen, are the results of lengthy and often unpredictable trials with large format vessels. Their wobbles and imperfections are very much apparent and add beautifully to the character of each piece. The natural warmth of Luan wood permeates throughout the space. It’s veneer is cut continuously from three logs and all of its sheets carefully catalogued and installed so as to present up close uninterrupted impressions of natural landscapes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708678654167-9U0H4FUE6BQ891RII8BO/Huma-final-small-3.jpg Huma - Huma / TOMYU STUDIO Situated in the office lobby of the Kerry Center in Jing An, Huma is a new bistro focused on modern Yunnan cuisine and our latest collaboration with the restauranteurs of Bloom.

Their wobbles and imperfections are very much apparent and add beautifully to the character of each piece. The natural warmth of Luan wood permeates throughout the space.

Given the vastness and busyness of the site, our natural instinct was to enclose the restaurant to offer an intimate and calm environment, while maintaining connectivity to its surroundings. As an independent volume, the bistro is defined by a quiet rectilinear shell, carefully proportioned and inserted into place. Like a traditional wooden Chinese lunch box, once opened reveals its contents within a geometry of simple voids and lines inside. Guests have full view of the dishes being prepared, a coming together of hand-made rice noodles, ample fresh vegetables and herbs is a feast for both the eyes and stomach.

In ‘Silhouettes’, renowned Swedish artist Mats Gustafson interpreted the Fall Winter 25 collection through large-scale watercolors that distilled each look to its purest form: shape, proportion, and texture. Presented alongside film from the Paris runway show, the works transformed precise garments into organic gestures, expressing the structure and ease that define TOTEME. Known for his elegant and minimal aesthetic that redefined the language of fashion illustration, Mats Gustafson rendered TOTEME’s sculptural silhouettes in essential line and tone.

Designed as an extension of the city, the store creates a natural dialogue with its surroundings.The architectural and interior design strike a balance between ZARA’s evolving global identity and Nanjing’s urban landscape, creating a space that is both contemporary and contextually grounded. By blurring the boundaries between retail, community, and culture, this project positions ZARA not only as a global leading fashion retail brand, but as an active force in shaping the urban and cultural landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1738127272808-2ZZNX20ZKZXE1CVAG08Z/Toteme+Popup+Seoul-final-2-2x3.jpg Commercial Gallery - TOTEME Prototype Pop-up in Seoul Random Studio turned to traditional Korean materials and techniques for Toteme's Seoul pop-up. Random Studio designed a pop-up store for Swedish fashion brand Toteme in Seoul, to mark the brand’s launch in the Korean market. From 6 to 18 December 2024, the pop-up store featured the brand’s Fall/Winter 2024 runway and ready-to-wear collection in a space constructed of hanji, a traditional Korean paper handcrafted from mulberry tree bark. The durable yet delicate paper was stacked to form display tables and shelves and suspended to form walls, creating niches for displaying Toteme’s clothing, handbags and shoes. Formed around the central design concept of a ‘work-in-progress’, with the textured surfaces and feathery paper edges left exposed, reflecting the brand’s emphasis on materiality and craft. Random Studio also designed oversized silhouettes of Toteme’s most popular pieces present throughout its display windows, drawing a connection to the brand’s online presence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1721795167306-IKXQ03GSY9174SDHV8A2/Fotografiska-final-%C2%A9Seth+Powers-small-10.jpg Commercial Gallery - Fotografiska Shanghai A New Address Nestled along the captivating Suzhou Creek in Shanghai, a transformation took place. What was once a bank warehouse steeped in the rich history of this vibrant city, is now a destination for art and culture: Fotografiska Shanghai. This new address is anything but your ordinary museum; it is a poetic immersion into the realm of visual narratives, woven through the lens of photography. Revitalizing Heritage: A Fusion of Preservation and Regeneration Preserving the Past, Reinventing the Future Our approach to this historical building embodies both preservation and reinvention at its core. We pay homage to the building's industrial legacy while fostering a new narrative, one deeply rooted in visual art and storytelling. The integration of original brickwork, concrete beams, and industrial details in modern spaces forms a multi-layered environment, infusing authenticity, and intrigue. Beyond cultural significance, the project catalyzes neighborhood rejuvenation, transforming a dormant space into a dynamic cultural center. An Inspired Design Strategy The first-floor layout, inspired by Shanghai's diverse layers, embraces openness and fluidity. Various functions coalesce, offering a sequence of moments organized to facilitate human interaction. The restaurant, bar, retail space, and the ice cream shop blend old and new features, crafting a unique experience that merges historical richness with a contemporary twist. Journey through Light and Color Navigating the Museum Circulation within the museum unfolds through two grand staircases, reminiscent of its industrial past. These staircases, subtly nodding to the origin of photography, reinforce the building's spine. Custom-designed vertical lights along the walls guide visitors through the exhibits, not only serving as navigational elements but also creating a dynamic light experience through movement leading guests from one display to another. A journey through a series of rooms, each enveloped in Fotografiska's curated colors, unfolds. Despite the absence of natural light, deliberate ceiling spots accentuate photographs on the walls, creating an immersive experience where visual narratives come to life in a play of light and shadow. Concrete walls, preserving the building's industrial authenticity, pay homage to its heritage. Transition spaces between exhibition areas serve as moments to reconnect with the building. Minimal interventions focus on essentials, preserving the industrial authenticity of the original building. Merging Tradition with Future Vision The top floor presents a futuristic vision of the traditional garden room, merging indoor and outdoor spaces. The area offers access to a vast terrace with panoramic views, featuring a bar, cozy lounge, exclusive VIP room, and a terrace. Retro charm, embodied in green and yellow tones and textures, big flower sitting islands and a bed of sunken seating, transports visitors through time, blending nostalgia with modern elegance. Cultural Hub Beyond Exhibitions Fotografiska Shanghai is not just a museum, it’s a cultural hub. Beyond exhibitions, it will host workshops, lectures, and events, fostering a community of artists, enthusiasts, and curious minds who share a passion of photography. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1741678645135-FQGABL4S5MFO2OAJCBVE/Humanscale+Showroom--final-small-8.jpg Commercial Gallery - Humanscale Shanghai Showroom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710213546774-77UNCKUJABYWZKWJF7RS/Byredo+WF+Central-final-small-2-11-08+update.jpg Commercial Gallery - BYREDO Beijing WF Central https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708681376379-UMYUJZ8GUJUY9E0WQ482/Byredo+Chengdu-final-4th+draft-small-7.jpg Commercial Gallery - BYREDO Chengdu Taikoo Li https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708681358840-XDYQDOIWN1853C6W47XA/Byredo+Hangzhou-final-small-2.jpg Commercial Gallery - BYREDO Hangzhou IN77 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708681352380-E814P0J4YGFREEB8B5H1/Byredo+Nanjing-final-small-2.jpg Commercial Gallery - BYREDO Nanjing Deji https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708681320869-J81EL8WWMURQIF1UMTNW/Byredo+Shenzhen+MixC-final-small-3.jpg Commercial Gallery - BYREDO Shenzhen MixC World The new store is part of a series of openings across China, and is indicative of the city’s rise as a shopping destination, and one as forward in offerings as fellow first-tier cities Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou.

Walls, flooring and ceiling in a soft grey hue form the backdrop for an assortment of furnishings, including large glass and steel cabinets, similar low cabinets with an orange frame, chunky wooden sofas with blue-striped upholstery, and a large oval table dipped in a striking purple hue. One side of the store is lined with large mirrors and pink stools. Lighting is highly functional, and sees three rows of tubular lights across the ceiling. The new Byredo store carries the brand’s full range of perfumes, home fragrances and hand & body care products. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708681238045-JUP1NDM9I2Y12UD8CJ1W/Cotton+Park+Wuxi-final-small-1.jpg Commercial Gallery - Cotton Park This slick two-story white structure in Wuxi is home to a clothing store and cafe under the brand Cotton Park. Designed by TOMYU Studio, the aesthetic caters to the youth clientele and has been popular amongst the fashionable local influencers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708680364178-DL7T9QHH6HOH2NURNUAQ/Hansgrohe+Innovation+Parc-final-small-9.jpg Commercial Gallery - Hansgrohe InnovationParc Hansgrohe, a world leader in kitchen and bathroom tap and fittings, has been at the forefront of science and technology in the industry for more than 120 years. To foster dialogue between the brand and Chinese consumers, Hansgrohe commissioned Ippolito Fleitz Group to design its first innovation centre abroad, the 'Hansgrohe InnovationParc', in Shanghai. The Hansgrohe InnovationParc is housed in a three-storey industrial building on the west bank of Shanghai's Huangpu River, historically a manufacturing and trading area. The building was originally a shipyard; its architectural features, in particular its third floor with a chimney-shaped opening, inspired the redevelopment by Ippolito Fleitz Group, who created a space that transcends traditional boundaries. This new place is not just a showroom, an office or an event space, but a space open to all these functions, a space that can thus encourage open-mindedness and innovation. In designing the space, designer from Ippolito Fleitz Group were guided by the concept of fluidity, both because Hansgrohe's business has to do with water and because the company's success is centred on the user and the constant question of how the user would interact with its products in multiple scenarios. This has been translated into an architectural language by reconstructing the journey of water within the building. In Chinese thought, water symbolises intelligence, wisdom and softness. The first floor of the Hansgrohe space tells of water's constant adaptability, flexibility, agility as well as the adaptability of technology to consumer trends. This floor focuses on activation, emphasising the activities within the space rather than its static design. There are two entrances on opposite sides, with an innovation table in the middle, showing the path from idea to product and the latest research of the research and development team. The table is topped by wooden panels into which Laser Blade recessed fittings with General Lighting optics are inserted for even illumination of the entire surface. Further inside, near the opposite entrance, is a digital water forest that invites interaction, providing insights into the brand's history and ideas. The space is designed without a predefined path for the customer, encouraging exploration and discovery. The individual trees in the forest are lit from below by Underscore RGB lightlines that provide variable illumination in tones ranging from green to blue. The second floor is dedicated to product innovation and attention to detail. It houses the research and development department for prototyping, areas reminiscent of showers and a nimble office area, where meeting rooms are lit by Blade R that also house recessed Easy. In the lobby there is a cosy spa-like atmosphere: customers can enter areas reminiscent of egg-shaped showers and try out products, experimenting with different shower types. This intimate and immersive experience engages customers with water and creates lasting memories and affinities. In this area there are also many plants that are illuminated by Palco projectors installed on the shower structures, the light coming from below casts the shadows of the plants on the walls and ceiling, helping to emphasise the pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, while diffuse but non-invasive light is provided by ∅ 17 mm Laser recessed fixtures. The third floor shows the power and creativity of innovation. Here you will find versatile workspaces, a conference area that allows for different configurations, and a hybrid meeting space. This floor is designed to invite collaboration, encourage concentration, and foster innovation. It features a striking architectural element: a ceiling with large curved parts that narrows into a bottleneck with a height of 18 metres. This element connects the inside with the outside through a skylight, allowing natural light to illuminate the area. To take full advantage of this extraordinary architecture, Ippolito Fleitz Group has positioned a digital waterfall that seems to descend from the chimney-like structure. Just below the waterfall is the events and workshop area, a versatile space where people can gather and collaborate, as if around a bonfire. In this space characterised by curved shapes, Agora RGBW floodlights are aimed upwards and indirectly illuminate this area, immersing everything in a blue atmosphere. Flexibility makes the space of the Innovation Parc exceptional. The design allows for seamless transformations. The possibilities are endless, from a vibrant, colourful environment to a more sober ambience. Ippolito Fleitz Group has created a space that does not impose its own identity, but evolves according to the activities of the users and the brand itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709974601826-OFJ8UTJ44OXSV823BQKD/MixC+North+Arcade-final-small-3.jpg Commercial Gallery - Shenzhen MixC Shenzhen’s MixC shopping mall has been reimagined by Make Architects to response to the city’s fast-expanding economy with its growing population of over 12.5 million inhabitants. The design of the reconfigured mall has focused on giving the centre a much more civic approach, aiming to improve connections as part of a wider masterplan and its own distinct character. The refurbishment has breathed new life into the existing mall and made it feel like a skilfully composed urban district, prioritising the customer experience with a focus on high-end luxury. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708680125668-HHR74KE50OIEYVYJMJF2/Monday+Club-final-small-3.jpg Commercial Gallery - Monday Club A private clubhouse on a quiet, tree-lined street in Shanghai, designed by a boutique international practice, A00. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709744292957-JZH26P0ZH2I2AQYLFEMS/Grace+Chen-final-small-24.jpg Commercial Gallery - House of Grace Chen Kokaistudios has completed the renovation of a historical villa, located in the heart of the city’s former French Concession. The villa was transformed into the home for a Shanghai-based Haute Couture brand, Grace Chen. The project encompasses the architectural renovation and interior design of the villa, as well as a new glass pavilion display and event space. 
Taking inspiration from Grace Chen’s beautiful and intricately crafted clothing, Kokaistudios developed a design strategy that is feminine and elegant, yet completes the classic design of the villa with a touch of modernity. 
Kokaistudios embarked on an architectural restoration of the building that valorized the villa’s original features, including the French doors, the inlaid marble mosaic flooring on the upstairs terrace, as well as the beautiful facade brickwork. 
The entrance to the villa is marked by a large black and bronze weaved metal gate, the design of which was inspired by one of Grace Chen’s designs. It provides privacy, coupled with a strong sense of arrival. 
The villa overlooks a courtyard that was completely re-designed to meet the client's needs, functioning as an event space and an area for hosting small fashion shows. 
The architect divided the villa into a series of areas, with a progression from the public areas on the ground floor to the most private areas on the third floor. 
The ground floor hosts the main showroom and lounge area. The show-kitchen and dining area has direct access to the courtyard. 
The fitting rooms and offices are located on the second floor. The architect settled on a palette of colors and a range of natural materials, together creating a comforting environment that acts as a supporting backdrop to the client's beautiful couture creations. 
While much of the custom-made cabinetry and display mirrors were designed in a style to complement the historic nature of the villa, the architect chose to contrast them with features and finishes that were intentionally modern. 
The interior space uses furniture and fixtures from noted domestic and international producers, such as pieces by Flos, and Murano glass lamps designed and produced in Italy by the family of Filippo Gabbiani, Chief Architect of the project. 
The third floor is taken up by the intimate library as well as the VIP suite for out-of-town guests. Exposed bricks were finished in a simple dove grey paint, giving the space a more unfinished feeling.
This intimate and elegant space is an area for reflection and exchange, envisaged as a “salon” of old times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709745134959-FKU1JG55QCUU8BEX8ALX/Mia+Fringe-final-small-8.jpg Commercial Gallery - Mia Fringe A space in which to see and be seen, Mia Fringe is Shanghai’s newest multi-brand retail and dining destination. Inspired by the opulence, drama, and layered visibility of theater, Kokaistudios’ design showcases an eclectic array of men’s, women’s, and lifestyle brands to glamorous effect. With interiors to match the quirkiness of the brands, the space combines sophisticated glamour with playful eccentricity. Spread across two floors, the 1,600sqm venue’s complex programming called for careful consideration in terms of directing visitors into and around the space. In addition to fashion retail, Mia Fringe also incorporates a flower shop, cafe, and restaurant, which come nightfall, transforms into an atmospheric lounge-bar concept. The challenge for designers was how to succinctly convey this lifestyle mix in a way that would capitalize on the store’s prime Huaihai Road location. Two separate entrances make a clear distinction between Mia Fringe’s retail and F&B elements, signalling to passing foot traffic that this is as much of a destination for dining, as it is shopping. By entering either, visitors embark on a journey through distinctive spaces, each inspired by parts of a theater and peppered with playful motifs of performance and the stage. Imagined as a rehearsal room, the downstairs retail space is home to the store’s more entry-level products, including high street fashion, athleisure wear, lifestyle accessories, and flowers. A deliberate lightness of materials - pale-colored wood and terrazzo, for example - sets a welcoming tone, in keeping with an imagined, relaxed backstage area. A mirrored wall stretching the length of the space not only amplifies light, but also makes a playful nod to a theater’s rehearsal studio. Continuing the theme, garments are presented on horizontal rails, directly inspired by ballet barres. An eye-catching main entrance welcomes visitors into the imagined theater’s front-of-house world. Framed by a deep recess, and under a canopy of exposed bulbs, it leads to the first of Mia Fringe’s two F&B locations: a ground floor cafe. A casual daytime spot, it serves coffee, tea, sandwiches and light bites. Beyond is a grandiose sweeping staircase, setting the stage for the venue's dramatic upstairs space. Elegant light grey terrazzo steps are offset by dazzling walls of mosaic mirror, spanning both levels and extending to a third-floor office beyond. Comprising over 1,000 pieces of custom-cut antique-finished glass, studded with gleaming brass brackets, the area alludes to the edginess of the Mia Fringe concept by way of an unmistakably contemporary ripple glass balustrade. The material is a recurring motif throughout, with no fewer than six different types used across the venue’s various spaces. For the best seats in the house, a more formal upstairs dining room is imagined as the well-appointed boxes and balconies of a classical theater. A place in which to take afternoon tea, brunch, as well as more substantial fare, come nightfall, a cast of bartenders perform their craft from an elegant bar area, positioned to mirror an orchestra pit. The space offers expansive views onto a central atrium connecting the two floors, as well as into the second-floor retail area beyond. From this vantage point, repeated rows of horizontal hanging racks positioned throughout transitional areas imply layer upon layer of scenery tracks; while the vertical lines of a louver wall, as well as textured ripple glass on VIP room doors, are suggestive of stage curtains. The stage in question showcases Mia Fringe’s most cutting-edge, high-end product lines, as well as a dedicated jewelry display room. Theatrical in tone, the space contrasts elegant materials - an abundance of walnut, parquet flooring, and touches of burnished brass, for example - with a consciously less polished wall finish of textured Marmo Antico plaster. The physical juxtaposition between textures refined and rough mirrors Mia Fringe’s curatorial approach of edgy sophistication. Throughout, product displays take the form of abstract wooden blocks, appearing as stage props in an unknown play. A theatre of a space, inside of which visitors are invited to find their own persona and role, Mia Fringe is where narratives combine and stories unfold. For this reason, creating a backdrop that lends itself to sharing on social media was of particular importance. Currently making waves in Shanghai, Mia Fringe takes inspiration from an established trend for multipurpose concept stores, started in Europe, and blending carefully curated products with a palpable focus on experience, all within beautifully designed spaces. A vibrant, day-long destination for shopping, dining, and more, Mia Fringe strikes a careful balance between sophisticated elegance and contemporary edge, lending new drama to Shanghai’s dynamic retail scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708493083024-486NF466P388PS55PPLY/Luo+Hong+Museum-final-small-8.jpg Commercial Gallery - Luo Hong Art Museum Located in close vicinity to Beijing International Airport, Luo Hong Art Museum is China's largest personal photography art museum.

Chilean artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz presented the last in a trilogy of installations. Titled “Foundations”, Errazuriz’s immersive design for 2018 is based on iron ore, the natural resource at the heart of steel and one of the principal resources for watchmakers. 

Italian artist Quayola’s new photographic series, titled “Remains: Vallée de Joux” unifies the natural roots of Audemars Piguet with his own visual artistry.

Together, the two artists transformed the space into a somewhat fantastical hideaway with their respective creations, which further serve as the backdrop for Audemars Piguet’s highly trained watchmakers to demonstrate their craft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708680309213-VKTYIGTRH6PRV8W7QQDI/AP+Installation-final-small-1.jpg Commercial Gallery - Audemars Piguet Shanghai Exhibition French artist and designer Mathieu Lehanneur was appointed to conceive a special installation that is made of 12 rooms, forming a large ring – an allusion to a watch dial.

 In the middle of the circle stands a huge rock, created from cast replicas of those found in Audemars Piguet’s home in the Vallée de Joux.

 Around it, twelve doors will open, each revealing a story about Audemars Piguet: from its origins to the 21st century, from watchmaking to contemporary art, from the Vallée de Joux to China.

 The themed rooms exhibit a close-up experience of the iconic swiss brand, linking the past to the present.

 200 historical and contemporary timepieces are exhibited, transporting visitors on a 141 year-long journey. On display in the mirror room are rare vintage watches that have made milestones in the maison’s history.

 Audemars Piguet has always sought to integrate creative vision with technical mastery, as horology, artisanship and artistry have been closely intertwined for centuries.

 The brand is pushing a different kind of boundary, having embarked on this journey from Le Brassus to China, and is looking forward to witnessing the encounter between these two very different worlds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709974432440-ANH0YAWQCJ5JLK32KNP0/VS+HK-final-small-80.jpg Commercial Gallery - Victoria's Secret Victoria’s Secret Shanghai Lippo Plaza Victoria’s Secret Beijing WF Central Victoria’s Secret Hong Kong https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709951736620-ISCC1V2AKH9HZPA41KZM/2016-12+Hermes+Winter+2016+Window-final-small-6.jpg Commercial Gallery - Hermès Shanghai Maison https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709749838623-14ZZIGWE3YGHGYMPLQ0V/The+Clinic-medium-2.jpg Commercial Gallery - The Clinic The first of its kind in Shanghai, The Clinic, is a wellness, and rehabilitation center focusing on each person's individual needs. The design from Hannah Churchill of hcreates aims to create an interior that overturns ones idea of the "sterile white walled" hospital environment. Raw materials of concrete, rustic wood, textured glass and industrial lighting have been used to create a intimate boutique style to the common spaces and treatment rooms. The minimalistic and natural finishes give suggestion to a spa interior to instill a feeling of relaxation and healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709916940076-OBUFA49WFLR51XHZ4LGS/Holiland+Shanghai-final-small-3.jpeg Commercial Gallery - Holiland Patisserie Shanghai London-based practice Universal Design Studio has designed a pastel sweet bakery in Shanghai, where the fitout almost steals the show from the sweets. For a new patisserie and bakery concept in Shanghai’s Vanke Mall, London practice Universal Design Studio took inspiration from the products on display – intricately delicate cakes. The aesthetic at the newly opened Holiland is intentionally bright and youthful, while tempered by softer neutrals and natural finishes. The material selection played a big part in the development of this project with their execution adding graphic impact and a clean backdrop to let the hand-crafted delicacies shine through. The palette is defined by a soft colour palette of oak wood, pink resin and two variations of terrazzo. Another key feature is the application of geometry. Curved and rectangular volumes pull the customer’s eye in with a particular focus on the recessed display niches. The project for the retail concept encompassed designing all aspects of the interior as well as the facade. Space planning also played a major role with the layout across the 1100-square-foot space incorporating moments of retail theatre whereby customers can view the patisserie chefs as they make all of the delectable treats. The curves are repeated throughout the space as a visual connector, but also soften what would be an otherwise a large white box. Graphic curved geometries dot the branding, while the terrazzo plinths feature chamfered edges. Making a dramatic impact is the curving, plywood-lined wall behind the counter. This envelopes the space and adds a sense of compression and release. The bakery’s exterior allows customers to peruse the cake selection through an external kiosk, which is offset by outdoor seating populated by greenery and planters. The blurring between interior and exterior extends to the terrazzo tiled floor finish, intended to draw the customer’s eye into the space. http://www.sethpowersphotography.com/hospitality-gallery daily 0.75 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1774594852950-MXCGSAD15BTWCFTEUCU4/Wenzhou+Legend-final-small-3.jpg Hospitality Gallery - Wenzhou Legend A members-only sky clubhouse by AB Concept crowns Wenzhou Lucheng Plaza, translating Ou embroidery, ceramics and inlay into a refined setting for dining, socialising and quiet escape above the city. AB Concept has crafted a sky-high sanctuary above Wenzhou in the 38th-floor residents’ clubhouse at Wenzhou Lucheng Plaza, a 7,000-square-metre social realm that channels the city’s millennia-old trading spirit into a contemporary luxury setting. Rising 389 metres at the confluence of old and new districts, the tower overlooks the Oujiang River’s “one river, two banks” urban landscape, a view that becomes a constant visual thread throughout the interior. Design director Kevin Chung and the AB Concept team root the project in Ou culture, fusing traditional crafts like Ou embroidery, Ou kiln ceramics, Ou sculpture and Wenzhou mother-of-pearl inlay with Western design codes. The double-height arrival lobby frames sweeping river vistas, where metallic lines and sculptural art pieces evoke a refined modern Chinese sensibility. Above, a three-dimensional camellia motif—an intangible cultural heritage of Wenzhou—blooms across a curved ceiling, its intricate stitching echoing the flowing stone patterns underfoot. The all-day restaurant “Jinge” features an eight-metre-high dome and a bespoke Ou-sculpted landscape wall, while the adjoining “Tide” bar centres on a shell-shaped counter in oxidised copper, shimmering like river ripples at sunset. Tucked behind, the “Jinyun” cigar lounge offers leather seating and climate-controlled wine storage for discreet business or social gatherings. Along the corridor, colourful Ou ceramics and luminous Wenzhou inlay set a ceremonious tone leading to six riverfront private dining suites. The signature “Jinyu” room, inspired by classical gardens, is ringed by sixteen stone columns forming an octagonal pavilion, crowned by layered glass chandeliers and walls etched with the contours of Yandang Mountain. The "Queen’s Room" mirror hall is defined by soft pink tones, with floor-to-ceiling glass facing the Ou River, drawing the interplay of daylight, nightfall and shimmering water into the space. A slender marble table accommodates art salons, afternoon tea gatherings or yoga meditation sessions, while mirrored surfaces and metallic details are enhanced under the lighting to heighten a sense of lavish drama—creating a private realm where female residents can momentarily step away from daily routines and claim a quiet moment to themselves. Together with the feminine “Queen’s Room” mirror hall and flexible smaller suites, the clubhouse becomes an airborne manor where Wenzhou’s artisanal heritage and contemporary urban glamour meet in the clouds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1774594852950-MXCGSAD15BTWCFTEUCU4/Wenzhou+Legend-final-small-3.jpg Hospitality Gallery - Wenzhou Legend A members-only sky clubhouse by AB Concept crowns Wenzhou Lucheng Plaza, translating Ou embroidery, ceramics and inlay into a refined setting for dining, socialising and quiet escape above the city.

Celebrating ancient heritage with modern elegance, LTW brings forth a timeless design that pays tribute to the deep-rooted ancient traditions and cultures of The Analects. Take a look at the complete story after the jump. From the architects: Sitting adjacent to the Confucius Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the JW Marriott Qufu stands as an emblem of the ancient city. Tastefully appointed with traditional Chinese features, the hotel’s distinctive exterior emulates structures from the ancient city. Complementing the architecture, LTW aims to bring forth Confucian values through aesthetics inspired by the Six Arts, including music, rituals, and calligraphy. Inspired by Confucius’ teachings, the Lobby, Lobby Lounge and the Tea House on the first floor replicate the scholar hall at Confucius Temple. Sitting atop a raised stone pond at the lobby’s Atrium, a poetic allusion of “The Great Teacher” takes centre-stage: A statue of Confucius courteously kneels before a seven-metre-tall gingko tree art installation, created with intricately weaved metallic scriptures. Natural lighting saturates the Lobby under a glass roof in a dark timber, bronze-detailed ceiling, highlighting the centrepiece against a stoned Moon Gate – an architectural feature of traditional garden passageways – that partitions the Atrium and Lounge. Echoing this allusion is a striking gold accent wall, engraved with illustrations of falling gingko leaves, which stands behind the reception desk located on the left side of the lobby upon entrance. The gold accent wall, set against the neutral-toned lobby, intentionally highlights a dimension of space that draws on the ancient and modern, allowing guests to travel between the times. Behind the Moon Gate, the meditative tranquility continues throughout The Lounge. Dark timber furniture, rattan chairs, wooden shelves, ancient Chinese scrolls and traditional stitched bound books fill the space, adorned with low-hanging mesh lanterns to give a warm, inviting ambience. Paying homage to The Analects’ value of education, the Tea House, surrounded by wooden shelves, books and exquisite tea sets, creates a tranquil retreat for guests to rest and study. Public and private spaces are partitioned by white ceramic lattice, accessorised by figures of the Disciples and artistic representations of books, and musical instruments. To the right of the Lobby, a grey stone wall encased with small glass lanterns illuminates the hallway leading to the restaurant spaces. Boasting a full view of the courtyard, the All-Day Dining Area is complete with dark timber tiles, complemented by textured walls and tawny brown leather seating, providing flexibility of functions for groups and private dining. On the other side, Residence, the two-storey Chinese restaurant, translates the architectural details of the outdoor courtyard into an opulent gathering space. Blending the outdoor environment into its interiors, the ground floor public dining area is framed by stone walls, with a cream-coloured lounge seating area on both sides of the restaurant as a tea-tasting area. Traditional wooden door panels are translated into ornate bronze latticework as door panels and partitions, covering ceilings and window screens. The private dining rooms are highlighted by shades of ochre, displaying artwork that reflects the surrounding historic structures of the area. Set aside a private courtyard or a veranda, the Guestroom designs draw inspiration from a well-known Confucius saying: “The wise find pleasure in water; the virtuous find pleasure in hills.” Taking water and woods as the main inspiration, LTW uses a contrasting palette to convey the yin-and-yang of the two elements: deep brown, to represent the rigidness of the mountain, and white, to illustrate the fluidity of water. Dark walnut wooden tiles, ripple-designed carpet and embossed headboard to inject a calming, meditative effect in the space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708833326680-2Q4LLBWLT1KD6IWB99ZS/Grand+Hyatt-final-small-7.jpg Hospitality Gallery - Grand Hyatt Xi’An Dramatic double-height reception lobby which is enveloped by a feather-like sculptural white feature wall with curving vertical lines that extends 10 meters high, and patterned timber walls forming wing-like motifs.

Surrounded by arabescus white marble walls and bronze trimmings, the lobby boasts a clean yet lavish interior decorated with crystal chandeliers, highlighted by a 12-metre ornate partition. Each of the restaurant take inspiration from cultures of the nations that historically traded with China. At the all-day dining restaurant, Brasserie on G, deco aesthetics are mixed with European influence while Southeast Asian restaurant, Bam Bou is injected with tropical flair, evoking colors of forests. Weaving together the past and present, the contemporary design effortlessly blends nostalgic European sophistication and traditional Chinese chic, revitalising Art Deco decadence with opulence and grandeur. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708833391915-96O72KJ8KCU2PY1MYX03/Conrad+Jiuzhaigou-final-small-17.jpg Hospitality Gallery - Conrad Jiuzhaigou This stunning resort is nestled between in the mountains on the Tibetan Plateau and situated just a short ride from the UNESCO World Heritage site of Jiuzhaigou Valley.

The design of the resort was overseen by New York based design firm TsAO & McKOWN. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708833610553-Q5WMM51PUSDBWXRQKYTB/Sintoho-final-small-2.jpg Hospitality Gallery - Dai Forni & Sintoho at Four Seasons Kuwait Kokaistudios' newest projects with Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts - the Dai Forni Italian and the Sintoho Asian restaurants located in the newly built Four Seasons Kuwait in the Burj Alshaya building. 

The designer adopted an architectural approach to the development of the project by conceiving the space as an oasis in a desert. The heat of the days are embodied by the southern Italian cuisine restaurant Dai Forni, which centers around wood-burning ovens and fire pillars, while the cool nightimes are embodied by the Asian fine dining restaurant Sintoho with its water towers and darker color palette. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708833583748-7HGQYV3DOX8KPLF3IB0L/Brasserie-final-small-6.jpg Hospitality Gallery - Brasserie at Four Seasons Kyoto The Brasserie restaurant and lounge is core of the new outstanding Four Seasons resort and residence in the heart of the heritage district of Kyoto, the ancient capital city of Japan. Adding to the already difficult design task was the challenge to create a successful destination not limited to the resort guests that serves French inspired fine cuisine in the city of Kyoto; known domestically and internationally as a traditional temple of Japanese food culture. The new hotel is located in the UNESCO protected area of the temples of Kyoto at the base of the mountains and faces a historical traditional Japanese pond surrounded by a magnificent heritage ikeniwa garden. The restaurant positioned between the arrival lobby and the garden is the core of the public space of the hotel becoming in this way the main representative space of the entire resort. For this reason we conceived the space on with a strong architectural strategy by using the Kyoto traditional system to connect indoor to outdoor creating a large architectural feature that frames the view of the garden from the lobby level all over the restaurant at the level below. In this way the long facade between the restaurant and the garden located on the north side of the hotel become a transparent diaphragm that transmit the indirect light reflected by the garden pond and trees creating a magic contemplative mood in the restaurant space. The layout of the restaurant has been developed by unifying under the large architectural frame three different functions, a lounge area at the arrival, a central bar and banquette counter and a more private fine dining area. The access to the restaurant has two different entrances'; the main entrance is directly connected to the upper level lobby through a special staircase designed as a main sculptural feature capable to become a visible milestone and drive the public guests directly from the main entrance of the hotel through the dramatic double height space looking at the garden down to the lounge area. The second, more private entrance for hotel guests is located on the restaurant level and is designed as a path through a series of experiences, from the lift lobby where a stone garden designed in cooperation with Japanese artist Ramon Todo welcomes the guests in a spectacular view of the garden and a carved stone tunnel that drives to the restaurant door. The lounge area welcomes the guests in a spectacular double height space with nine meters high ceilings which has been conceived an intimate area defined by a central fire place and a custom made carpet developed in cooperation with Taiping that creates a three-dimensional wave effect typical of the traditional Kyoto stone Zen gardens. In the center of the restaurant has been designed a unique and original bar area integrating inside an iconic stone platform traditional Japanese style bar and a buffet counter flexible to be used in the morning for breakfast and during the rest of the day as a food display or a decorative sets for the late night. The bar counter is a pure stone mass carved with unique Japanese craftsmanship technique finished with a precious massive wooden table 15 meters long selected exclusively for this project. On the side of the bar we located around a central fireplace a more private area for fine dining completed by a series of custom made banquette seats conceived as bamboo nests where guests can appreciate the full view of the garden maintaining a strong sense of intimacy. At the end of the restaurant we placed a special feature for display of wines that transforms from a delicate decoration during the day to a glittering iconic spotlight during the night. The design of this project is a new step in Kokaistudios method of combining a strong architectural approach to the design of interiors with an original use of materials and light to create unexpected subtle emphatic feeling between the space and the people; handcrafted materials shaped and controlled up to the finest detail interact and interplay with the both the day and night light and reveal an incredibly expressive power. Stone surfaces are hand hammered so to make them become visually and tactilely soft, wooden surfaces and treated in the same methodology as the traditional outdoor Japanese timbers, and special metal materials has been developed in cooperation with Japanese craftsmen so to make them reveal unusual and original artistic effects. For this unique project Kokaistudios created a series of custom designed furniture inspired by the traditional Japanese styles and revised with a contemporary attitude to optimize the comfort and create through the development of fine details a subtle sense of essential elegance. Inspired by the local traditional art of bamboo waving we design exclusively for this project a series of iconic seats crafted as large wooden nests that define in a unique way the character of the space and create a strong relation between indoor and outdoor. The terrace facing the magnificent pond has been designed in cooperation with the landscape design firm and hosts a series of seats conceived for a casual and flexible dining setup. Elegant outdoor seats from European manufacture Tribu combined with custom made nest seats and fine artistic designed tables contribute to create a unique feeling of empathy with the magic environment of the historical and traditional garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708833632520-EBIKNOBG4V6QA5PMP72A/Le+Meridien-final-small-10.jpg Hospitality Gallery - Le Meridien Shenyang Opened in late 2017, Le Meridien Shenyang is an ode to both the mid-century modern roots of Le Meridien brand and to the city of Shenyang itself; both in terms of its historical significance as the one-time capital of China’s last dynasty, the Qing, and also its location in the North-East of China with its four distinct seasons. Searching to create a timeless design in which art and graphics would play a principal role, Kokaistudios began the design process with the creation of a sophisticated materials palette inspired by the traditional colors and textures of the region’s forests and by undertaking a detailed topographical study of the current and historical maps of the city together with Beijing-based artists Instant Hutong. The outcome of these initial considerations is a project in which texture, materiality, graphics and art combine to create an immersive and elegant design experience where guests throughout their stay can discover additional layers of the history and culture of the city and the Le Meridien brand by way of subtle design instruments. From the first steps into the hotel, guests are welcomed by a small reception lobby decorated with a 3-D corona engraved bi-color map of the historical and modern city, designed to give the guests a deeper geographical understanding of the space. Off the main lobby sits the Latitude 42 area; with its distinctly modern European design language this lounge area was designed as an elegant gathering point for both hotel guests and the surrounding community. The walls of the swimming pool have been finished with a vibrant green jade marble that acts as an art-piece and counter point to the muted grey stone flooring reminiscent in both texture and patterns of the nearby imperial palace; one of the best preserved in China. This use of materials as decorations continues in the guest-rooms where Kokaistudios have made extensive use of Oak wood which dominates the forests surrounding the city; its gentle tactile nature and simple elegance combine with a scented oil treatment give the rooms a feeling of serenity and coziness. The design of this project is a new step in Kokaistudios method of combining a strong architectural approach to the design of interiors with an original use of materials and light to create unexpected subtle emphatic feeling between the space and the people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708832278488-CENFDFOH51X1ZYAIX7G0/The+Living+Room-final-small-1.jpg Hospitality Gallery - The Living Room by Octave An adaptive reuse of a historical building in Shanghai China, The Living Room is built to create walkable, mixed-use alternatives to China’s rampant urbanization.

Guests enter the restaurant through a glass pavilion that serves as the framework of the entrance, modeled after elegant European conservatories. Opulent bronze metal lattice patterns and turquoise stained-glass elements line the large windows where light can flood into the space capturing fragments of sparkle and colour to preserve a sumptuous, yet inviting atmosphere. Chinese influences are intertwined by way of blue porcelain sceneries painted onto the shelving panels. Veranda-like seating units are sensibly positioned to ensure look out into the vast views of the city for every guests, with the exposed vibrant grill and pizza kitchen sitting behind, known as the “Backyard.” The extraordinary Molteni stove unit boldly anchors down the space to create balance amongst the delicate lattice patterns throughout. The space converts into a sophisticated venue for evening gatherings. Moving further along the restaurant rests the Chinese kitchen referred to as the “Mansion.” Its dedicated kitchen and counters emerge as a terrace in front of a mansion, preserving the cohesive “Secret Garden” concept that runs throughout the F&Bs in the hotel. Curvature seating arrangements are stylized to create mini individual alcoves for semi-privacy amongst the open space. Similar curvatures are further found amongst the arc elements that line the space, paying homage to the Russian influences of Harbin’s heritage. The restaurant offers the option of a private dining room in which a grand bronze wall feature demarcates it from the rest of the restaurant that is further rounded out with sapphire-toned elements for a refined and mature space. Full details blending eastern and western elements amongst the vivid details on the furniture and warm colour palette make for an elegant place to dine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708684807466-S6XEODFRKBYNHAWD4ETS/Ritz+Carlton+Harbin+Restaurants-final-small-1.jpg Manor 54 & King Wong Heen at The Ritz-Carlton Harbin - Manor 54 at The Ritz-Carlton, Harbin / ab concept Connecting to the hotel lobby lounge and lobby area on the 54th floor in The Ritz-Carlton Harbin sits the all-day dining restaurant.

Opulent bronze metal lattice patterns and turquoise stained-glass elements line the large windows where light can flood into the space capturing fragments of sparkle and colour to preserve a sumptuous, yet inviting atmosphere. Chinese influences are intertwined by way of blue porcelain sceneries painted onto the shelving panels. Veranda-like seating units are sensibly positioned to ensure look out into the vast views of the city for every guests, with the exposed vibrant grill and pizza kitchen sitting behind, known as the “Backyard.” The extraordinary Molteni stove unit boldly anchors down the space to create balance amongst the delicate lattice patterns throughout. The space converts into a sophisticated venue for evening gatherings. Moving further along the restaurant rests the Chinese kitchen referred to as the “Mansion.” Its dedicated kitchen and counters emerge as a terrace in front of a mansion, preserving the cohesive “Secret Garden” concept that runs throughout the F&Bs in the hotel. Curvature seating arrangements are stylized to create mini individual alcoves for semi-privacy amongst the open space. Similar curvatures are further found amongst the arc elements that line the space, paying homage to the Russian influences of Harbin’s heritage. The restaurant offers the option of a private dining room in which a grand bronze wall feature demarcates it from the rest of the restaurant that is further rounded out with sapphire-toned elements for a refined and mature space.

Having previously worked together on the Brasserie at the Four Seasons Kyoto the Four Seasons team invited Kokaistudios to conceive an elegant F&B destination bringing the freshness and tastes of Italy to Kuwait. 
The starting point of the design process was to canvas Italy and determine which part of its vast culinary heritage and geography to focus on and the designers quickly settled upon the tastes, smells and textures of the Mediterranean and in particular the island of Sicily; long the meeting point between the cultures of the Middle East and Europe. Dai Forni is part of the emerging global cultural culinary trend of regional rather than national cuisines; and the restaurant design and cuisine are a testament to this trend. 
Kokaistudios envisioned the space as an oasis for all of the senses with the entrance characterized by an immense green wall; itself an innovative structure filled with local desert plant varietals; and large fire pillars that frame the entrance experience and bring the guests along a sandstone floored corridor into main dining areas centered by an expansive antipasti counter covered in a pink hued hand treated cooper from Italy. 
To the left of the entrance corridor sits the front dining area featuring a stunning 12 meter high space with expansive views onto the city and the Persian Gulf beyond. The designers have enrobed the space in a custom designed metal mesh curtain illuminated by a diffused lighting system that creates a soft shimmering glow. The intense sunlight and temperatures during the day-time drove the creation of an elaborate system of laser cut curtains that help to maintain a cool and welcoming temperature. 
Three large hand-hammered custom made copper wood burning ovens produced in Australia occupy center stage to the right of the entrance corridor. These beautiful ovens are operated daily with a specially chosen Hungarianfragrant wood that creates a unique smell and flavor to produce the freshest pizza’s and breads and we have designed 3 semi-circular banquette seating backed by Sicilian lava-stone walls that offer a prime view of the chefs at work. 
The semi-circular seating and the custom designed chandeliers all take their inspiration from the traditional Sicilian woven baskets and this idea extends to the two inter-linkable private dining rooms where the walls are finished in rough woven rope which contrasts with the doors and sun-screens which feature an intricate pattern created in carved corian that take their inspiration from the local mashrabiya patterns but are in fact traditional lace patterns from Sicily. 
While the restaurant is centered on the concept of fire the bathrooms act as refreshing counter-point featuring a hand painted blue and white Italian tiles and video installation of a water-fall designed by Shanghai based video designers Flatmind. 
The large outdoor terrace; shared with the neighboring Asian restaurant Sintoho also designed by Kokaistudios; completes the oasis concept with its large custom designed glass sculpture that acts as the central water feature. 
By working with world renowned craftsmen from Italy to Australia and points in between; employing subtle design instruments; and a focus on appealing to all the six senses we have a created a project that is simultaneously rooted in Middle Eastern culture while being a true embodiment of Mediterranean and Sicilian food culture.

The design of this project is a new step in Kokaistudios method of combining a strong architectural approach to the design of interiors with an original use of materials and light to create unexpected subtle emphatic feeling between the space and the people; handcrafted materials shaped and controlled up to the finest detail interact and interplay with the both the day and night light and reveal an incredibly expressive power. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708736368264-7VY0XXY3YVE46HXLWULD/Dai+Forni-final-small-2.jpg Dai Forni & Sintoho at Four Seasons Kuwait - Dai Forni at Four Seasons Kuwait / Kokaistudios Kokaistudios' newest projects with Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts - the Dai Forni Italian located in the newly built Four Seasons Kuwait in the Burj Alshaya building.

The starting point of the design process was to canvas Italy and determine which part of its vast culinary heritage and geography to focus on and the designers quickly settled upon the tastes, smells and textures of the Mediterranean and in particular the island of Sicily; long the meeting point between the cultures of the Middle East and Europe. Dai Forni is part of the emerging global cultural culinary trend of regional rather than national cuisines; and the restaurant design and cuisine are a testament to this trend. 
Kokaistudios envisioned the space as an oasis for all of the senses with the entrance characterized by an immense green wall; itself an innovative structure filled with local desert plant varietals; and large fire pillars that frame the entrance experience and bring the guests along a sandstone floored corridor into main dining areas centered by an expansive antipasti counter covered in a pink hued hand treated cooper from Italy. 
To the left of the entrance corridor sits the front dining area featuring a stunning 12 meter high space with expansive views onto the city and the Persian Gulf beyond. The designers have enrobed the space in a custom designed metal mesh curtain illuminated by a diffused lighting system that creates a soft shimmering glow. The intense sunlight and temperatures during the day-time drove the creation of an elaborate system of laser cut curtains that help to maintain a cool and welcoming temperature. 
Three large hand-hammered custom made copper wood burning ovens produced in Australia occupy center stage to the right of the entrance corridor. These beautiful ovens are operated daily with a specially chosen Hungarianfragrant wood that creates a unique smell and flavor to produce the freshest pizza’s and breads and we have designed 3 semi-circular banquette seating backed by Sicilian lava-stone walls that offer a prime view of the chefs at work. 
The semi-circular seating and the custom designed chandeliers all take their inspiration from the traditional Sicilian woven baskets and this idea extends to the two inter-linkable private dining rooms where the walls are finished in rough woven rope which contrasts with the doors and sun-screens which feature an intricate pattern created in carved corian that take their inspiration from the local mashrabiya patterns but are in fact traditional lace patterns from Sicily. 
While the restaurant is centered on the concept of fire the bathrooms act as refreshing counter-point featuring a hand painted blue and white Italian tiles and video installation of a water-fall designed by Shanghai based video designers Flatmind. 
The large outdoor terrace; shared with the neighboring Asian restaurant Sintoho also designed by Kokaistudios; completes the oasis concept with its large custom designed glass sculpture that acts as the central water feature. 
By working with world renowned craftsmen from Italy to Australia and points in between; employing subtle design instruments; and a focus on appealing to all the six senses we have a created a project that is simultaneously rooted in Middle Eastern culture while being a true embodiment of Mediterranean and Sicilian food culture.

Kokaistudios envisioned the space as an oasis for all of the senses with the entrance characterized by an immense green wall; itself an innovative structure filled with local desert plant varietals; and large fire pillars that frame the entrance experience and bring the guests along a sandstone floored corridor into main dining areas centered by an expansive antipasti counter covered in a pink hued hand treated cooper from Italy. 
To the left of the entrance corridor sits the front dining area featuring a stunning 12 meter high space with expansive views onto the city and the Persian Gulf beyond. The designers have enrobed the space in a custom designed metal mesh curtain illuminated by a diffused lighting system that creates a soft shimmering glow. The intense sunlight and temperatures during the day-time drove the creation of an elaborate system of laser cut curtains that help to maintain a cool and welcoming temperature. 
Three large hand-hammered custom made copper wood burning ovens produced in Australia occupy center stage to the right of the entrance corridor. These beautiful ovens are operated daily with a specially chosen Hungarianfragrant wood that creates a unique smell and flavor to produce the freshest pizza’s and breads and we have designed 3 semi-circular banquette seating backed by Sicilian lava-stone walls that offer a prime view of the chefs at work. 
The semi-circular seating and the custom designed chandeliers all take their inspiration from the traditional Sicilian woven baskets and this idea extends to the two inter-linkable private dining rooms where the walls are finished in rough woven rope which contrasts with the doors and sun-screens which feature an intricate pattern created in carved corian that take their inspiration from the local mashrabiya patterns but are in fact traditional lace patterns from Sicily. 
While the restaurant is centered on the concept of fire the bathrooms act as refreshing counter-point featuring a hand painted blue and white Italian tiles and video installation of a water-fall designed by Shanghai based video designers Flatmind. 
The large outdoor terrace; shared with the neighboring Asian restaurant Sintoho also designed by Kokaistudios; completes the oasis concept with its large custom designed glass sculpture that acts as the central water feature. 
By working with world renowned craftsmen from Italy to Australia and points in between; employing subtle design instruments; and a focus on appealing to all the six senses we have a created a project that is simultaneously rooted in Middle Eastern culture while being a true embodiment of Mediterranean and Sicilian food culture.

The design of this project is a new step in Kokaistudios method of combining a strong architectural approach to the design of interiors with an original use of materials and light to create unexpected subtle emphatic feeling between the space and the people; handcrafted materials shaped and controlled up to the finest detail interact and interplay with the both the day and night light and reveal an incredibly expressive power. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708736393183-W8CIY60LVDWN37GBNXCD/Sintoho-final-small-7.jpg Dai Forni & Sintoho at Four Seasons Kuwait - Sintoho at Four Seasons Kuwait / Kokaistudios Kokaistudios' newest projects with Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts - the Sintoho Asian fine dining restaurant located on the top floor of the newly built Four Seasons Kuwait in the Burj Alshaya building. 
Having previously worked together on the Brasserie at the Four Seasons Kyoto the Four Seasons team invited Kokaistudios to conceive an innovative F&B destination that could elevate the street foods of the cities of Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong into a fine dining destination and experience. 
Intrigued by the concept and the location in a city with no established tradition of Asian fine dining we set about creating a temple to Asian cuisine and craftsmanship that eschewed kitschy and thematic styles and aimed for the creation of an essential and refreshing space in which the dining experience is influenced both by the architecture of the space and the food offering. 
The restaurant design was conceived first and foremost around the idea of celebrating the diversity and excellence of Asian cuisine and creating spaces and opportunities for the guests to experience the sights, smells and tastes of these food cultures up close. 
We searched for commonalities between the cultures in order to come up with a design language to unite them and we took our inspiration less from the current nature of the individual countries but rather from the historical role that Chinese culture has played over time throughout Asia and how those influences continue to be part of everyday life. 
The entrance area of the restaurant features a long corridor flanked on one side by an expansive green wall filled primarily with local desert plant varietals and on the other by a series of custom designed water towers which combine to create a cooling and soothing experience. The corridor finishes in a tea wall fronted by an elaborate carved wood tea station where guests can select an expansive choice of fine teas. 
To the right of the entrance corridor sits the main open dining area on the right that features expansive 12 meter high ceilings that offers expansive views of the city and the Persian Gulf beyond. The front dining area center features a series of custom designed furniture for which we cooperated with Kyoto based artisans and the area is hemmed by an extensive shousugi ban burnt wood sushi counter inlaid with hand hammered brass. The soft lighting in the area comes from the series of water drop glass pendants produced by the London based artisans DHLiberty Lux. 
The rest of the public area seating is centered largely around the individual open live cooking stations where guests can experience up-close the preparation of robatta, teppanyaki, and dim sum and other delicacies from Hong Kong which have been clad by hand-hammered metal hoods and sculpted stone bases featuring images and motifs typical inspired by classical designs found in China. 
The strong inter-play between the main materials of wood, stone, and hand-finished metals is thrown a curve by the insertion of a 3D feature wall made of exposed concrete forms that runs the length of the kitchen wall and has been designed using parametric principles and its undulating form appears as a dynamic wave while being in actuality a straight structure. 
The private dining rooms are an ode to Chinese embroidery craftsmanship with bespoke chairs and walls featuring hand-printed linen fabric albeit with a wink to principal designer Filippo Gabbiani’s home town of Venice via the use of the Fortuny silk pendant lamps and red Murano glass inlays.
The bathrooms are an experience in and of themselves as we cooperated with a Shanghai based video production team Flatmind to create a series of Chinese shadow video installations that are projected on the grey hand hammered Chinese stone. 
The outdoor seating areas that are shared with the neighboring Italian restaurant Dai Forni; also designed by Kokaistudios; feature a stunning glass sculpture from London based artisans Duffy.

Having previously worked together on the Brasserie at the Four Seasons Kyoto the Four Seasons team invited Kokaistudios to conceive an innovative F&B destination that could elevate the street foods of the cities of Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong into a fine dining destination and experience. 
Intrigued by the concept and the location in a city with no established tradition of Asian fine dining we set about creating a temple to Asian cuisine and craftsmanship that eschewed kitschy and thematic styles and aimed for the creation of an essential and refreshing space in which the dining experience is influenced both by the architecture of the space and the food offering. 
The restaurant design was conceived first and foremost around the idea of celebrating the diversity and excellence of Asian cuisine and creating spaces and opportunities for the guests to experience the sights, smells and tastes of these food cultures up close. 
We searched for commonalities between the cultures in order to come up with a design language to unite them and we took our inspiration less from the current nature of the individual countries but rather from the historical role that Chinese culture has played over time throughout Asia and how those influences continue to be part of everyday life. 
The entrance area of the restaurant features a long corridor flanked on one side by an expansive green wall filled primarily with local desert plant varietals and on the other by a series of custom designed water towers which combine to create a cooling and soothing experience. The corridor finishes in a tea wall fronted by an elaborate carved wood tea station where guests can select an expansive choice of fine teas. 
To the right of the entrance corridor sits the main open dining area on the right that features expansive 12 meter high ceilings that offers expansive views of the city and the Persian Gulf beyond. The front dining area center features a series of custom designed furniture for which we cooperated with Kyoto based artisans and the area is hemmed by an extensive shousugi ban burnt wood sushi counter inlaid with hand hammered brass. The soft lighting in the area comes from the series of water drop glass pendants produced by the London based artisans DHLiberty Lux. 
The rest of the public area seating is centered largely around the individual open live cooking stations where guests can experience up-close the preparation of robatta, teppanyaki, and dim sum and other delicacies from Hong Kong which have been clad by hand-hammered metal hoods and sculpted stone bases featuring images and motifs typical inspired by classical designs found in China. 
The strong inter-play between the main materials of wood, stone, and hand-finished metals is thrown a curve by the insertion of a 3D feature wall made of exposed concrete forms that runs the length of the kitchen wall and has been designed using parametric principles and its undulating form appears as a dynamic wave while being in actuality a straight structure. 
The private dining rooms are an ode to Chinese embroidery craftsmanship with bespoke chairs and walls featuring hand-printed linen fabric albeit with a wink to principal designer Filippo Gabbiani’s home town of Venice via the use of the Fortuny silk pendant lamps and red Murano glass inlays.

Adding to the already difficult design task was the challenge to create a successful destination not limited to the resort guests that serves French inspired fine cuisine in the city of Kyoto; known domestically and internationally as a traditional temple of Japanese food culture. The new hotel is located in the UNESCO protected area of the temples of Kyoto at the base of the mountains and faces a historical traditional Japanese pond surrounded by a magnificent heritage ikeniwa garden. The restaurant positioned between the arrival lobby and the garden is the core of the public space of the hotel becoming in this way the main representative space of the entire resort. For this reason we conceived the space on with a strong architectural strategy by using the Kyoto traditional system to connect indoor to outdoor creating a large architectural feature that frames the view of the garden from the lobby level all over the restaurant at the level below. In this way the long facade between the restaurant and the garden located on the north side of the hotel become a transparent diaphragm that transmit the indirect light reflected by the garden pond and trees creating a magic contemplative mood in the restaurant space. The layout of the restaurant has been developed by unifying under the large architectural frame three different functions, a lounge area at the arrival, a central bar and banquette counter and a more private fine dining area. The access to the restaurant has two different entrances'; the main entrance is directly connected to the upper level lobby through a special staircase designed as a main sculptural feature capable to become a visible milestone and drive the public guests directly from the main entrance of the hotel through the dramatic double height space looking at the garden down to the lounge area. The second, more private entrance for hotel guests is located on the restaurant level and is designed as a path through a series of experiences, from the lift lobby where a stone garden designed in cooperation with Japanese artist Ramon Todo welcomes the guests in a spectacular view of the garden and a carved stone tunnel that drives to the restaurant door. The lounge area welcomes the guests in a spectacular double height space with nine meters high ceilings which has been conceived an intimate area defined by a central fire place and a custom made carpet developed in cooperation with Taiping that creates a three-dimensional wave effect typical of the traditional Kyoto stone Zen gardens. In the center of the restaurant has been designed a unique and original bar area integrating inside an iconic stone platform traditional Japanese style bar and a buffet counter flexible to be used in the morning for breakfast and during the rest of the day as a food display or a decorative sets for the late night. The bar counter is a pure stone mass carved with unique Japanese craftsmanship technique finished with a precious massive wooden table 15 meters long selected exclusively for this project. On the side of the bar we located around a central fireplace a more private area for fine dining completed by a series of custom made banquette seats conceived as bamboo nests where guests can appreciate the full view of the garden maintaining a strong sense of intimacy. At the end of the restaurant we placed a special feature for display of wines that transforms from a delicate decoration during the day to a glittering iconic spotlight during the night. The design of this project is a new step in Kokaistudios method of combining a strong architectural approach to the design of interiors with an original use of materials and light to create unexpected subtle emphatic feeling between the space and the people; handcrafted materials shaped and controlled up to the finest detail interact and interplay with the both the day and night light and reveal an incredibly expressive power. Stone surfaces are hand hammered so to make them become visually and tactilely soft, wooden surfaces and treated in the same methodology as the traditional outdoor Japanese timbers, and special metal materials has been developed in cooperation with Japanese craftsmen so to make them reveal unusual and original artistic effects. For this unique project Kokaistudios created a series of custom designed furniture inspired by the traditional Japanese styles and revised with a contemporary attitude to optimize the comfort and create through the development of fine details a subtle sense of essential elegance. Inspired by the local traditional art of bamboo waving we design exclusively for this project a series of iconic seats crafted as large wooden nests that define in a unique way the character of the space and create a strong relation between indoor and outdoor. The terrace facing the magnificent pond has been designed in cooperation with the landscape design firm and hosts a series of seats conceived for a casual and flexible dining setup. Elegant outdoor seats from European manufacture Tribu combined with custom made nest seats and fine artistic designed tables contribute to create a unique feeling of empathy with the magic environment of the historical and traditional garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708736533910-84CBVQBRSRUBRMX4ET6B/Brasserie-final-small-6.jpg Brasserie at Four Seasons Kyoto - Brasserie at Four Seasons Kyoto / Kokaistudios The Brasserie restaurant and lounge is core of the new outstanding Four Seasons resort and residence in the heart of the heritage district of Kyoto, the ancient capital city of Japan. Adding to the already difficult design task was the challenge to create a successful destination not limited to the resort guests that serves French inspired fine cuisine in the city of Kyoto; known domestically and internationally as a traditional temple of Japanese food culture.

Inspired by the local traditional art of bamboo waving we design exclusively for this project a series of iconic seats crafted as large wooden nests that define in a unique way the character of the space and create a strong relation between indoor and outdoor. The terrace facing the magnificent pond has been designed in cooperation with the landscape design firm and hosts a series of seats conceived for a casual and flexible dining setup. Elegant outdoor seats from European manufacture Tribu combined with custom made nest seats and fine artistic designed tables contribute to create a unique feeling of empathy with the magic environment of the historical and traditional garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708736537682-KX82UIV8M4GQ4831IUTN/Brasserie-final-small-13.jpg Brasserie at Four Seasons Kyoto - Brasserie at Four Seasons Kyoto / Kokaistudios The Brasserie restaurant and lounge is core of the new outstanding Four Seasons resort and residence in the heart of the heritage district of Kyoto, the ancient capital city of Japan. Adding to the already difficult design task was the challenge to create a successful destination not limited to the resort guests that serves French inspired fine cuisine in the city of Kyoto; known domestically and internationally as a traditional temple of Japanese food culture. The new hotel is located in the UNESCO protected area of the temples of Kyoto at the base of the mountains and faces a historical traditional Japanese pond surrounded by a magnificent heritage ikeniwa garden. The restaurant positioned between the arrival lobby and the garden is the core of the public space of the hotel becoming in this way the main representative space of the entire resort. For this reason we conceived the space on with a strong architectural strategy by using the Kyoto traditional system to connect indoor to outdoor creating a large architectural feature that frames the view of the garden from the lobby level all over the restaurant at the level below. In this way the long facade between the restaurant and the garden located on the north side of the hotel become a transparent diaphragm that transmit the indirect light reflected by the garden pond and trees creating a magic contemplative mood in the restaurant space. The layout of the restaurant has been developed by unifying under the large architectural frame three different functions, a lounge area at the arrival, a central bar and banquette counter and a more private fine dining area. The access to the restaurant has two different entrances'; the main entrance is directly connected to the upper level lobby through a special staircase designed as a main sculptural feature capable to become a visible milestone and drive the public guests directly from the main entrance of the hotel through the dramatic double height space looking at the garden down to the lounge area. The second, more private entrance for hotel guests is located on the restaurant level and is designed as a path through a series of experiences, from the lift lobby where a stone garden designed in cooperation with Japanese artist Ramon Todo welcomes the guests in a spectacular view of the garden and a carved stone tunnel that drives to the restaurant door. The lounge area welcomes the guests in a spectacular double height space with nine meters high ceilings which has been conceived an intimate area defined by a central fire place and a custom made carpet developed in cooperation with Taiping that creates a three-dimensional wave effect typical of the traditional Kyoto stone Zen gardens. In the center of the restaurant has been designed a unique and original bar area integrating inside an iconic stone platform traditional Japanese style bar and a buffet counter flexible to be used in the morning for breakfast and during the rest of the day as a food display or a decorative sets for the late night. The bar counter is a pure stone mass carved with unique Japanese craftsmanship technique finished with a precious massive wooden table 15 meters long selected exclusively for this project. On the side of the bar we located around a central fireplace a more private area for fine dining completed by a series of custom made banquette seats conceived as bamboo nests where guests can appreciate the full view of the garden maintaining a strong sense of intimacy. At the end of the restaurant we placed a special feature for display of wines that transforms from a delicate decoration during the day to a glittering iconic spotlight during the night. The design of this project is a new step in Kokaistudios method of combining a strong architectural approach to the design of interiors with an original use of materials and light to create unexpected subtle emphatic feeling between the space and the people; handcrafted materials shaped and controlled up to the finest detail interact and interplay with the both the day and night light and reveal an incredibly expressive power.

Searching to create a timeless design in which art and graphics would play a principal role, Kokaistudios began the design process with the creation of a sophisticated materials palette inspired by the traditional colors and textures of the region’s forests and by undertaking a detailed topographical study of the current and historical maps of the city together with Beijing-based artists Instant Hutong. The outcome of these initial considerations is a project in which texture, materiality, graphics and art combine to create an immersive and elegant design experience where guests throughout their stay can discover additional layers of the history and culture of the city and the Le Meridien brand by way of subtle design instruments. From the first steps into the hotel, guests are welcomed by a small reception lobby decorated with a 3-D corona engraved bi-color map of the historical and modern city, designed to give the guests a deeper geographical understanding of the space. Off the main lobby sits the Latitude 42 area; with its distinctly modern European design language this lounge area was designed as an elegant gathering point for both hotel guests and the surrounding community. The walls of the swimming pool have been finished with a vibrant green jade marble that acts as an art-piece and counter point to the muted grey stone flooring reminiscent in both texture and patterns of the nearby imperial palace; one of the best preserved in China. This use of materials as decorations continues in the guest-rooms where Kokaistudios have made extensive use of Oak wood which dominates the forests surrounding the city; its gentle tactile nature and simple elegance combine with a scented oil treatment give the rooms a feeling of serenity and coziness.

Off the main lobby sits the Latitude 42 area; with its distinctly modern European design language this lounge area was designed as an elegant gathering point for both hotel guests and the surrounding community. The walls of the swimming pool have been finished with a vibrant green jade marble that acts as an art-piece and counter point to the muted grey stone flooring reminiscent in both texture and patterns of the nearby imperial palace; one of the best preserved in China. This use of materials as decorations continues in the guest-rooms where Kokaistudios have made extensive use of Oak wood which dominates the forests surrounding the city; its gentle tactile nature and simple elegance combine with a scented oil treatment give the rooms a feeling of serenity and coziness. The design of this project is a new step in Kokaistudios method of combining a strong architectural approach to the design of interiors with an original use of materials and light to create unexpected subtle emphatic feeling between the space and the people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708736689532-3T4Y2NRKBAMXT4BC51ZU/Le+Meridien-final-small-7.jpg Le Meridien Shenyang - Le Meridien Shenyang / Kokaistudios Opened in late 2017, Le Meridien Shenyang is an ode to both the mid-century modern roots of Le Meridien brand and to the city of Shenyang itself; both in terms of its historical significance as the one-time capital of China’s last dynasty, the Qing, and also its location in the North-East of China with its four distinct seasons. Searching to create a timeless design in which art and graphics would play a principal role, Kokaistudios began the design process with the creation of a sophisticated materials palette inspired by the traditional colors and textures of the region’s forests and by undertaking a detailed topographical study of the current and historical maps of the city together with Beijing-based artists Instant Hutong.

The design of this project is a new step in Kokaistudios method of combining a strong architectural approach to the design of interiors with an original use of materials and light to create unexpected subtle emphatic feeling between the space and the people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708736703577-0378N28J8IUANEMFEDHM/Le+Meridien-final-small-44.jpg Le Meridien Shenyang - Le Meridien Shenyang / Kokaistudios Opened in late 2017, Le Meridien Shenyang is an ode to both the mid-century modern roots of Le Meridien brand and to the city of Shenyang itself; both in terms of its historical significance as the one-time capital of China’s last dynasty, the Qing, and also its location in the North-East of China with its four distinct seasons. Searching to create a timeless design in which art and graphics would play a principal role, Kokaistudios began the design process with the creation of a sophisticated materials palette inspired by the traditional colors and textures of the region’s forests and by undertaking a detailed topographical study of the current and historical maps of the city together with Beijing-based artists Instant Hutong. The outcome of these initial considerations is a project in which texture, materiality, graphics and art combine to create an immersive and elegant design experience where guests throughout their stay can discover additional layers of the history and culture of the city and the Le Meridien brand by way of subtle design instruments. From the first steps into the hotel, guests are welcomed by a small reception lobby decorated with a 3-D corona engraved bi-color map of the historical and modern city, designed to give the guests a deeper geographical understanding of the space. Off the main lobby sits the Latitude 42 area; with its distinctly modern European design language this lounge area was designed as an elegant gathering point for both hotel guests and the surrounding community.

Monochrome geometric shapes are used in furniture, rugs and as a graphic wrap for the coffee machine, creating a layering of pattern. 

Curving stainless steel wraps the counter front, reflecting light and colour around the space and mirroring the shape of the glass facade. The concept of the ‘artist’s warehouse’ informs the key design elements in the space. A large central table comprised of an abstract arrangement of curved geometric forms (loosely inspired by the UCCA logo) creates an iconic first impression.

The interior by TomYu Studio is slick, minimalistic and organic. Lush plants and green walls contrasting with monotone finishes create a modern urban jungle atmosphere. The space exemplifies a seamless indoor outdoor space. Featuring a large ground level garden, a rare find for downtown Shanghai, the cafe has an interior section with a full-length green wall also. Neighboring the Jingan Temple commercial area, this F&B destination provides a small urban retreat for the hustle and bustle of the city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708681271748-W8ZMKSI6VAMIJBR0Q1A0/Huma-final-small-12.jpg F&B Gallery - Huma Situated in the office lobby of the Kerry Center in Jing An, Huma is a new bistro focused on modern Yunnan cuisine and our latest collaboration with the restauranteurs of Bloom. Given the vastness and busyness of the site, our natural instinct was to enclose the restaurant to offer an intimate and calm environment, while maintaining connectivity to its surroundings. As an independent volume, the bistro is defined by a quiet rectilinear shell, carefully proportioned and inserted into place. Like a traditional wooden Chinese lunch box, once opened reveals its contents within a geometry of simple voids and lines inside. Guests have full view of the dishes being prepared, a coming together of hand-made rice noodles, ample fresh vegetables and herbs is a feast for both the eyes and stomach. As the dining room’s centrepiece, a composition of large ceramic plates hovers over a communal banquet sized table and suffuses the space with softness and colour. The ceramic plates, which are painstakingly hand thrown and glazed in traditional tones by local potters in Jingdezhen, are the results of lengthy and often unpredictable trials with large format vessels. Their wobbles and imperfections are very much apparent and add beautifully to the character of each piece. The natural warmth of Luan wood permeates throughout the space. It’s veneer is cut continuously from three logs and all of its sheets carefully catalogued and installed so as to present up close uninterrupted impressions of natural landscapes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708681293442-9EDAU08R9KKLOW4OAFMP/Seesaw-final-small-10.jpg F&B Gallery - SeeSaw Coffee Huarun SeeSaw Coffee, a homegrown Shanghai brand, opened a new location in the recently renovated Huarun Times Square in Pudong, Shanghai. The shopping mall stands at a very busy intersection and with Starbucks Reserve located on the first floor, it was pertinent for SeeSaw to maintain its originality. The designer TAKESHI HOSAKA architects focused on featuring coffee beans native to China in the design concept and aimed to provide a cozy and friendly atmosphere for their young clientele. Stainless steel mirrors shaped like coffee beans hang from the ceiling throughout the store. The bustling intersection of cars, bikes and people outside are drawn into the store through the mirrors, invoking an urban atmosphere. The mirrors also reflect the appearance of baristas working inside the store. The youthful and vibrant interior contrasts with the dim lighting, creating a unique atmosphere. The designer gave serious consideration to creating a relaxing setting for drinking coffee, since the fixed glass facade on the third floor could easily give a closed-off and stagnant feeling to the space. Shanghai is known to be a bustling city with lots of foot, bicycle and car traffic, so the designer took advantage of the “moving” city and incorporated the “floating coffee bean” mirrors to reflect not only the exterior views but also the daily scenes of people, bicycles and cars constantly moving. These reflections also give people a fresh perspective on the urban scenery that they are familiar with. The mirrors take on a variety of different shapes and sizes, depending on where the customer sits. The shape of the coffee bean mirrors have also been carefully considered. The coffee beans are shaped like the number "0", with a "1" in the center. In the binary world, "0" and "1" can generate unlimited information. The designer uses ones and zeros to represent SeeSaw’s changing collection of fresh coffee beans from around the world, and the brand’s openness and willingness to take on changes and challenges. At dusk, coffee beans emerge from the dimly lit store, captivating the interest of people waiting for traffic at the intersection outside of the mall. The middle of the space can be easily converted into a meeting space, perfect for hosting events. There are also spaces behind the pillars where customers can take off their shoes, relax and enjoy the view of the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows. TAKESHI HOSAKA architects has successfully created a relaxing space that brings the urban scenery into a shopping mall, while showcasing SeeSaw’s efforts in helping China’s domestic coffee bean industry grow and prosper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709658970827-AW72H182NR845BGY6F1B/Roodoodoo-final-small-2.jpg F&B Gallery - Roodoodoo hcreates worked in conjunction with the legendary three Michelin-starred chef Paul Pairet and his team to create the latest concept in IFC, Roodoodoo. Located in the heart of Shanghai financial district, this building is a central focal point in Lujiazui for businesspeople, shoppers and tourists alike. The concept is a true all-day experience that transitions from breakfast to evening and bringing together dishes from Paul Pairet’s iconic restaurants Polux, Charbon, Mr & Mrs Bund whilst introducing many new instant classics including their first full bakery. “When it comes to defining the interiors for Roodoodoo’s we call it Retro Sleek – inspired by the 1950’s American diners, industrial detailing and mid-century design. A focus on creating a minimal, sophisticated, and sleek design that is an “all-day-everyday” gathering place.” Says Design Director Hannah Churchill The distinctive style of the classic American diner is lent from railway lunch carts during the golden era of rail travel; hence it carries the functional, industrial and mechanical design in its genes. One of the main materials we were keen to explore was in the project is the use of galvanized steel, to form shelving, lighting, and furniture detailing which is often set against a grey /black neutral background. Located amongst the skyscrapers of Lujiazui, we took reference from the sleek reflective materiality of the urban environment through, reflective surfaces, concrete counter tops, metallic color ceiling, and rectilinear geometric forms throughout space. Central to the design was retaining a sense of warmth and comfort. Paying homage to the origins of the French menu, we used more signature French interior design elements, such as Roodoodoo’s instantly recognizable motif ceiling and black and cream ceramic tiles. Retro cues start to reveal itself through the soft pastel colour, warm timbers, rounded corners of cabinet doors and a mix of furniture types bringing an inviting, eclectic touch. We wanted the space to borrow from old and new to create a warm and familiar space where the menu can be continually explored, and conversations can be enjoyed in comfort throughout the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709657353490-3ZCU0J5SH48WLMOUHCX0/Top+Tap-final-small-3.jpg F&B Gallery - TOP TAP TOP TAP, a restaurant and bar in Zhengzhou, China, designed by A00. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709750070866-EWD9JAOOOYL8TAR61ILP/Umi-final-small-3.jpg F&B Gallery - UMI In early 2017, Red design was appointed to design a new modern Japanese dining experience. Located at the high-end and popular Taikoo Hui mall, Umi is set to become the highlight of Shanghai in 2018. The interior brief was to create an interior and exterior design aesthetic that spoke Japanese and breathed western influence. A rich combination of classic modern western furniture pieces and Japanese detailing create a unique dining atmosphere not seen in Shanghai to date. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709750090755-GMAF4I66IW32HPBHBNNP/Japanese+Lounge-final-small-10.jpg F&B Gallery - Jiuwo Restaurant Jiu Wo is a high end, Japanese private dining and lounge venue in Shanghai, offering refined and discrete hospitality to the owners guests on a par with a luxury hotel restaurant. Jiu Wo comprises a 360sqm space which occupies the entire 5th floor of a refurbished industrial building on Anfu Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai. This space includes a generous lounge seating area, private meeting facilities and two Private Chef rooms with seating arranged around a U-shaped counter. These intimate rooms are skillfully woven into the fabric of the existing building, creating a carefully considered customer journey which reveals a balanced mix of public and private spaces. The venue also has a large 130sqm roof terrace on which a series of pavilions are constructed to extend the sense of intimacy and privacy to the exterior. The design concept behind Jiu Wo originates with the character of the ‘Itamae’: the cook or chef in a high-end Japanese kitchen. The term can be translated literally as “in front of the board”, referring to a cutting board. An Itamae is judged on how they move and work, how they handle the food and utensils and how they treat their clients. We extended the idea of the Itamae to the interior design: a refined and respectful interior space was created to mirror the respect and reverence that the Itamae gives to the preparation and presentation of Japanese cuisine. Further design inspiration was drawn from three core principles that permeate Japanese culture. Wabi-Sabi, the appreciation of the imperfect, irregular and asymmetric, influenced the selection of materials for the project. Natural stone floors, solid timber joinery with washed copper details and Abaca fiber flooring combine to a material palette which is contemporary but has the tactility, warmth and honesty of traditional Japanese design. We also drew inspiration from the principle of Miegakure – the art of hiding and revealing, creating an illusion of depth and the impression of hidden beauty beyond. This manifests itself in a series of delicate screens in linen, wood and metal lattice; these are interspersed throughout Jiu Wo, allowing the user to glimpse through and beyond spaces and introducing a sense of mystery as an integral part of the guest journey. Finally, Jian, the play between the positive & negative, influences the spatial and formal arrangement of design elements in the space. A recurring circular motif is used to create apertures and voids in walls and ceilings; these apertures introduce a formal quality to key views through the space and poetically suggest an emptiness full of possibilities. In rooting the design for Jiu Wo in Japanese cuisine and culture, the venue offers an interior experience which is both contemporary and timeless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709775801615-17XDZYMY78A3YOF9VSAT/T8-final-small-5.jpg F&B Gallery - T8 Voted one of the Worlds 50 Best Restaurants, T8 chose Red Design to oversee their relocation from a lane house to a new mall location in Central Shanghai.

The design challenge was to retain the warmth and heritage of the original T8 space while expanding the restaurants appeal to a younger, more fashion conscious customer.

Intelligent repurposing of the original fixtures and finishes, combined with an innovative lighting design and integrated terraced solution, results in a venue which offers a dining experience in a space which is both familiar and fresh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709659510481-4T6OLUSD689R2AM3AXK7/Cobra+Lily-final-small-5.jpg F&B Gallery - Cobra Lily Cobra Lily is a Pan-Asian restaurant and bar in Xintiandi, Shanghai. The design centers around a mysterious femme fatale, and is a journey through her day and the places she hangs out. 
The original early 1900's decorative Chinese archways have been kept, creating a secret alleyway. Opening into this alleyway, you discover the bar and lounge area. A two-story atrium complete with a floating DJ booth creates a dramatic entrance. Lounge and dining areas sprout from the first floor, forming intimate pockets of dining space. Modern wall sconces lead diners onto the more open areas on the second level. Upstairs diners nestled in the top of the atrium look down over the lounge and bar area. The bathrooms are positioned at the end of a long dark corridor with secret agent themes. Raw concrete mixed with sleek finishes create an upmarket urban chic in a relaxed setting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709746259818-8VUAPARFKTKDHFVAKLEA/The+Cut+Rooftop-final-small-1.jpg F&B Gallery - THE CUT Rooftop THE CUT Rooftop is located on the seventh floor of IAPM mall overlooking the city center of Shanghai. This island bar and lounge serve a series of delicious social small plates that encourages groups to gather and colleagues to banter, over snazzy craft cocktails, beer and wines aplenty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709745286504-9AVUOLSKW84GX8AD0TOT/Shake-final-small-5.jpg F&B Gallery - Shake Located in the center of Shanghai, Shake is an upscale venue dedicated to soul music and to bring excellent food and beverage experience to the city. Taking inspiration from the style and the energy of 1960s, Kokaistudios created immersive and memorable experience for guests as if stepping back in time when walked in the door. 
Upon stepping through the front door of Shake, visitors are invited to travel back in time into an environment similar to a soul music supper-club in 1960’s New York. The oval shaped marble bar is one of the central features of the space. Uneven floor heights allow guests at both the front and the back of the bar to have unblocked views of the stage. The undulating golden wave panels on the ceiling connect the bar to the stage, forming the heart of the project. The panels fill both an aesthetic and acoustic role to filter and distribute the sound emanating from the stage throughout the club. The stage was designed to host a full soul band including a piano and a horn section and to be levelled with the main floor, so as to create a sense of intimacy between the band and the audience. This focus on intimacy and the primacy of the musical experience led to a space with multiple floor levels in which every seat, from two-person high tables to the banquettes, provides clear line of sight to the stage, allowing the audience to feel involved in the show. As live music is only performed three nights a week, the designer created a sliding door system that could cover the stage, as well as a full DJ setup for spinning music during the rest of the week. In Shanghai’s competitive nightlife scene, Shake stands out with its sophisticated combination of world-class soul music and innovative dining & drinking. It is a new milestone in Kokaistudios’ practice of creating bespoke F&B environments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709743904504-48SBODYVDX73HNFB92S8/G10+Disneyland-small-3.jpg F&B Gallery - Urban Harvest Disney Town The restaurant sits in the outskirts of shanghai in the newly formed disney town, with views from within over a large lake.

 Occupying a concrete framed building the design seeks to occupy this banal framework; exposing slabs, columns and ductwork whilst shrouding the honest backdrop in certain areas with planes of plaster and ply.

 A central white ceiling plane organises the dining space dividing between inward facing with restaurant views and outward with views towards the lake outside. The inner adopts a language of dark leather and dark tables offsetting against the white ceiling plane. Whilst the outward has deep red warm leather with carefully exposed and neatly finished ductwork above.

 The white ceiling plane curves to wall at the far end of the restaurant space, with a gradient white paint that blends ply and plaster together.

 A private dining room is fully enclosed with this method, with incisions in the form to create door and window openings that ignore the rigor of radial ribs that give the room form.

 Lighting fixtures were developed especially for the project; a carefully balanced height adjustable pulley light; cast concrete counterweight, cast resin drop pendant with a brass cowl diffused COB LED within. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709746940549-Z0H6ELXWHZINLLZBZ7XQ/Mi+Thai-final-small-2.jpg F&B Gallery - Mi Thai Mi Thai is a modern Thai restaurant, dressed down in rustic minimalism, in the 195 Anfu Lu Wagas Compound.

Celebrating ancient heritage with modern elegance, LTW brings forth a timeless design that pays tribute to the deep-rooted ancient traditions and cultures of The Analects. Take a look at the complete story after the jump. From the architects: Sitting adjacent to the Confucius Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the JW Marriott Qufu stands as an emblem of the ancient city. Tastefully appointed with traditional Chinese features, the hotel’s distinctive exterior emulates structures from the ancient city. Complementing the architecture, LTW aims to bring forth Confucian values through aesthetics inspired by the Six Arts, including music, rituals, and calligraphy. Inspired by Confucius’ teachings, the Lobby, Lobby Lounge and the Tea House on the first floor replicate the scholar hall at Confucius Temple. Sitting atop a raised stone pond at the lobby’s Atrium, a poetic allusion of “The Great Teacher” takes centre-stage: A statue of Confucius courteously kneels before a seven-metre-tall gingko tree art installation, created with intricately weaved metallic scriptures. Natural lighting saturates the Lobby under a glass roof in a dark timber, bronze-detailed ceiling, highlighting the centrepiece against a stoned Moon Gate – an architectural feature of traditional garden passageways – that partitions the Atrium and Lounge. Echoing this allusion is a striking gold accent wall, engraved with illustrations of falling gingko leaves, which stands behind the reception desk located on the left side of the lobby upon entrance. The gold accent wall, set against the neutral-toned lobby, intentionally highlights a dimension of space that draws on the ancient and modern, allowing guests to travel between the times. Behind the Moon Gate, the meditative tranquility continues throughout The Lounge. Dark timber furniture, rattan chairs, wooden shelves, ancient Chinese scrolls and traditional stitched bound books fill the space, adorned with low-hanging mesh lanterns to give a warm, inviting ambience. Paying homage to The Analects’ value of education, the Tea House, surrounded by wooden shelves, books and exquisite tea sets, creates a tranquil retreat for guests to rest and study. Public and private spaces are partitioned by white ceramic lattice, accessorised by figures of the Disciples and artistic representations of books, and musical instruments. To the right of the Lobby, a grey stone wall encased with small glass lanterns illuminates the hallway leading to the restaurant spaces. Boasting a full view of the courtyard, the All-Day Dining Area is complete with dark timber tiles, complemented by textured walls and tawny brown leather seating, providing flexibility of functions for groups and private dining. On the other side, Residence, the two-storey Chinese restaurant, translates the architectural details of the outdoor courtyard into an opulent gathering space. Blending the outdoor environment into its interiors, the ground floor public dining area is framed by stone walls, with a cream-coloured lounge seating area on both sides of the restaurant as a tea-tasting area. Traditional wooden door panels are translated into ornate bronze latticework as door panels and partitions, covering ceilings and window screens. The private dining rooms are highlighted by shades of ochre, displaying artwork that reflects the surrounding historic structures of the area. Set aside a private courtyard or a veranda, the Guestroom designs draw inspiration from a well-known Confucius saying: “The wise find pleasure in water; the virtuous find pleasure in hills.” Taking water and woods as the main inspiration, LTW uses a contrasting palette to convey the yin-and-yang of the two elements: deep brown, to represent the rigidness of the mountain, and white, to illustrate the fluidity of water. Dark walnut wooden tiles, ripple-designed carpet and embossed headboard to inject a calming, meditative effect in the space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708750753397-3IV0PSGEFR9M9YLTCKTW/Qufu+JW+Marriott-final-small-1.jpg JW Marriott Qufu - JW Marriott Qufu / LTW Designworks Interior design studio LTW Designworks designed the JW Marriott Qufu – a new luxury hotel located in Qufu, China, the birthplace of renowned philosopher Confucius.

Tastefully appointed with traditional Chinese features, the hotel’s distinctive exterior emulates structures from the ancient city. Complementing the architecture, LTW aims to bring forth Confucian values through aesthetics inspired by the Six Arts, including music, rituals, and calligraphy. Inspired by Confucius’ teachings, the Lobby, Lobby Lounge and the Tea House on the first floor replicate the scholar hall at Confucius Temple. Sitting atop a raised stone pond at the lobby’s Atrium, a poetic allusion of “The Great Teacher” takes centre-stage: A statue of Confucius courteously kneels before a seven-metre-tall gingko tree art installation, created with intricately weaved metallic scriptures. Natural lighting saturates the Lobby under a glass roof in a dark timber, bronze-detailed ceiling, highlighting the centrepiece against a stoned Moon Gate – an architectural feature of traditional garden passageways – that partitions the Atrium and Lounge. Echoing this allusion is a striking gold accent wall, engraved with illustrations of falling gingko leaves, which stands behind the reception desk located on the left side of the lobby upon entrance. The gold accent wall, set against the neutral-toned lobby, intentionally highlights a dimension of space that draws on the ancient and modern, allowing guests to travel between the times. Behind the Moon Gate, the meditative tranquility continues throughout The Lounge. Dark timber furniture, rattan chairs, wooden shelves, ancient Chinese scrolls and traditional stitched bound books fill the space, adorned with low-hanging mesh lanterns to give a warm, inviting ambience. Paying homage to The Analects’ value of education, the Tea House, surrounded by wooden shelves, books and exquisite tea sets, creates a tranquil retreat for guests to rest and study. Public and private spaces are partitioned by white ceramic lattice, accessorised by figures of the Disciples and artistic representations of books, and musical instruments. To the right of the Lobby, a grey stone wall encased with small glass lanterns illuminates the hallway leading to the restaurant spaces. Boasting a full view of the courtyard, the All-Day Dining Area is complete with dark timber tiles, complemented by textured walls and tawny brown leather seating, providing flexibility of functions for groups and private dining. On the other side, Residence, the two-storey Chinese restaurant, translates the architectural details of the outdoor courtyard into an opulent gathering space. Blending the outdoor environment into its interiors, the ground floor public dining area is framed by stone walls, with a cream-coloured lounge seating area on both sides of the restaurant as a tea-tasting area. Traditional wooden door panels are translated into ornate bronze latticework as door panels and partitions, covering ceilings and window screens. The private dining rooms are highlighted by shades of ochre, displaying artwork that reflects the surrounding historic structures of the area. Set aside a private courtyard or a veranda, the Guestroom designs draw inspiration from a well-known Confucius saying: “The wise find pleasure in water; the virtuous find pleasure in hills.” Taking water and woods as the main inspiration, LTW uses a contrasting palette to convey the yin-and-yang of the two elements: deep brown, to represent the rigidness of the mountain, and white, to illustrate the fluidity of water. Dark walnut wooden tiles, ripple-designed carpet and embossed headboard to inject a calming, meditative effect in the space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708750757898-P3NFOR0Z9IAQJFPQ2L0F/Qufu+JW+Marriott-final-small-10.jpg JW Marriott Qufu - JW Marriott Qufu / LTW Designworks Interior design studio LTW Designworks designed the JW Marriott Qufu – a new luxury hotel located in Qufu, China, the birthplace of renowned philosopher Confucius.

Celebrating ancient heritage with modern elegance, LTW brings forth a timeless design that pays tribute to the deep-rooted ancient traditions and cultures of The Analects. Take a look at the complete story after the jump. From the architects: Sitting adjacent to the Confucius Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the JW Marriott Qufu stands as an emblem of the ancient city. Tastefully appointed with traditional Chinese features, the hotel’s distinctive exterior emulates structures from the ancient city. Complementing the architecture, LTW aims to bring forth Confucian values through aesthetics inspired by the Six Arts, including music, rituals, and calligraphy. Inspired by Confucius’ teachings, the Lobby, Lobby Lounge and the Tea House on the first floor replicate the scholar hall at Confucius Temple. Sitting atop a raised stone pond at the lobby’s Atrium, a poetic allusion of “The Great Teacher” takes centre-stage: A statue of Confucius courteously kneels before a seven-metre-tall gingko tree art installation, created with intricately weaved metallic scriptures. Natural lighting saturates the Lobby under a glass roof in a dark timber, bronze-detailed ceiling, highlighting the centrepiece against a stoned Moon Gate – an architectural feature of traditional garden passageways – that partitions the Atrium and Lounge. Echoing this allusion is a striking gold accent wall, engraved with illustrations of falling gingko leaves, which stands behind the reception desk located on the left side of the lobby upon entrance. The gold accent wall, set against the neutral-toned lobby, intentionally highlights a dimension of space that draws on the ancient and modern, allowing guests to travel between the times. Behind the Moon Gate, the meditative tranquility continues throughout The Lounge. Dark timber furniture, rattan chairs, wooden shelves, ancient Chinese scrolls and traditional stitched bound books fill the space, adorned with low-hanging mesh lanterns to give a warm, inviting ambience. Paying homage to The Analects’ value of education, the Tea House, surrounded by wooden shelves, books and exquisite tea sets, creates a tranquil retreat for guests to rest and study. Public and private spaces are partitioned by white ceramic lattice, accessorised by figures of the Disciples and artistic representations of books, and musical instruments. To the right of the Lobby, a grey stone wall encased with small glass lanterns illuminates the hallway leading to the restaurant spaces. Boasting a full view of the courtyard, the All-Day Dining Area is complete with dark timber tiles, complemented by textured walls and tawny brown leather seating, providing flexibility of functions for groups and private dining. On the other side, Residence, the two-storey Chinese restaurant, translates the architectural details of the outdoor courtyard into an opulent gathering space. Blending the outdoor environment into its interiors, the ground floor public dining area is framed by stone walls, with a cream-coloured lounge seating area on both sides of the restaurant as a tea-tasting area. Traditional wooden door panels are translated into ornate bronze latticework as door panels and partitions, covering ceilings and window screens. The private dining rooms are highlighted by shades of ochre, displaying artwork that reflects the surrounding historic structures of the area.

Designed by the visionary Robbyn Carter, founder of Studio Carter, this newly inaugurated hotel promises to redefine hospitality by blending artistic innovation with community engagement. Nestled in the heart of Shanghai, Kimpton Shanghai is not just a hotel; it's an immersive experience that beckons the creative community. Studio Carter's meticulous interior design has transformed the space into an open door that fosters connections among local creators, visionaries, and dreamers. With an ethos of celebrating contrasts, the hotel bridges the gap between tradition and modernity, all while inviting guests to delve into the local creative pulse.

The Discovery Bar, a unique welcome concept, empowers guests to personalize their stay by selecting amenity scents and teas that resonate with them. Kimpton Shanghai is replete with moments of discovery; hidden cabinets, private gardens, and exclusive reading nooks pepper the premises, providing havens for relaxation and inspiration.

The dining area's atrium-inspired design seamlessly melds indoor and outdoor spaces, leading to a lush garden terrace boasting its chef's garden, a true embodiment of farm-to-table gastronomy. As if curated by a symphony conductor, the bar, inspired by 18th-century French salons, orchestrates an intimate space that invites dialogue and serendipitous encounters. Live music, DJ sets, and spoken word performances foster an atmosphere of enlightenment, where local artists and cultural organizations find a platform to share their inspirations. The guest rooms at Kimpton Shanghai exude an air of luxury and tranquility. A captivating stone hearth cradles a candle fireplace, inviting guests to unwind and recharge. Modern conveniences are seamlessly integrated into each room, with cleverly concealed mini-bars and a commitment to reducing plastic waste. Filtered water taps eliminate the need for disposable plastic bottles, underscoring Studio Carter's dedication to sustainability. Bathrooms are reimagined as personal sanctuaries, with custom-made bathtubs and European timber-style floors that exude elegance. Kimpton Shanghai is a testament to Studio Carter's commitment to luxury and environmental responsibility, promising guests a space to rediscover and rekindle their connection with each stay.

Designed by the visionary Robbyn Carter, founder of Studio Carter, this newly inaugurated hotel promises to redefine hospitality by blending artistic innovation with community engagement. Nestled in the heart of Shanghai, Kimpton Shanghai is not just a hotel; it's an immersive experience that beckons the creative community. Studio Carter's meticulous interior design has transformed the space into an open door that fosters connections among local creators, visionaries, and dreamers. With an ethos of celebrating contrasts, the hotel bridges the gap between tradition and modernity, all while inviting guests to delve into the local creative pulse. From arrival, Kimpton Shanghai envelops its guests in an unparalleled hospitality that encourages cultural exploration. The reception area doubles as a cultural curator, offering curated experiences that extend beyond its walls. Guests can delve into the local scene through specially crafted Kimpton playlists and a thoughtfully selected array of books. The Discovery Bar, a unique welcome concept, empowers guests to personalize their stay by selecting amenity scents and teas that resonate with them. Kimpton Shanghai is replete with moments of discovery; hidden cabinets, private gardens, and exclusive reading nooks pepper the premises, providing havens for relaxation and inspiration. A fusion of Shanghai's European influences and a futuristic interpretation of Shikumen architecture graces the hotel's design, paying homage to the city's heritage. The hotel's pièce de résistance is its Franco-Chinois-inspired brasserie, where contemporary Chinese flavors merge harmoniously with French culinary finesse. The dining area's atrium-inspired design seamlessly melds indoor and outdoor spaces, leading to a lush garden terrace boasting its chef's garden, a true embodiment of farm-to-table gastronomy. As if curated by a symphony conductor, the bar, inspired by 18th-century French salons, orchestrates an intimate space that invites dialogue and serendipitous encounters. Live music, DJ sets, and spoken word performances foster an atmosphere of enlightenment, where local artists and cultural organizations find a platform to share their inspirations. The guest rooms at Kimpton Shanghai exude an air of luxury and tranquility. A captivating stone hearth cradles a candle fireplace, inviting guests to unwind and recharge. Modern conveniences are seamlessly integrated into each room, with cleverly concealed mini-bars and a commitment to reducing plastic waste. Filtered water taps eliminate the need for disposable plastic bottles, underscoring Studio Carter's dedication to sustainability. Bathrooms are reimagined as personal sanctuaries, with custom-made bathtubs and European timber-style floors that exude elegance.

Every detail of the space is a witness to history. Constructed in the 1920s, the three-storey structure - rising to four floors on the east and west sides - was owned by two Shanghai tycoons until 1940, when it became part of a school campus. In 1999, the building was acknowledged as one of Shanghai’s heritage architecture sites. In 2010, the building marked another historical moment, when the entire construction was physically moved 57.3 metres to its current location. To commemorate HKR International Limited’s founder, Dr Cha Chi-Ming, and bring new life to the venue, the building was renamed Cha House. To preserve the character of Cha House, heritage elements such as vintage tiles, French windows and antique stained-glass doors were aesthetically restored. The second and third floors consist of verandahs with arches and iconic columns. From the mosaic flooring made up of red, yellow and black tiles, to the Spanish spiral railings and carvings in the shape of pearls and lotus flowers, guests can experience a mix of both traditional and contemporary Shanghai culture amassed over a century of existence. Recalling the opulent lifestyle of a lavish household of a century ago, the Level 3 features velvet sofas, fireplaces, exquisite marble walls and a bar counter. Two dining rooms on the east and west sides each host up to ten guests, and a boardroom comfortably accommodates ten people.

Experiencing strong growth, Lilith needed a human-centric, inspiring work environment for its expanding Shanghai workforce. To help Lilith’s people relocate into a new space that fit their evolving needs, we designed an innovative 20,000 sq-m work environment across three buildings. Combining expertise from workplace strategists, designers, technologists and build experts, we generated an inventive design concept to inspire and engage. This hinged on nine different art forms including video gaming, theatre, literature, sculpture and architecture. Art installations on each floor provide wayfinding, while curated furniture and customised environmental art offer visual detail. The functional space planning focuses on staff wellness and was informed by a series of workplace studies to understand user behaviours, work patterns and organisational culture. ‘Tatami areas’ with curtains on multiple floors provide accessible, private spaces for lunchtime napping, doubling as informal collaboration areas. Pantries and snack shelves sit at the front-of-house by a window to encourage movement and wellbeing. Curated greenery, ergonomic furniture and height-adjustable workstations prioritise a healthy, considered work experience. To support Lilith’s culture of life-long learning and hobby-based communities, the workplace includes a music room, photo studio, film screening room and games room. A fully-equipped gym and a cat room (uniquely designed to support Lilith’ pet-friendly culture) allow staff to de-stress and regain creative energy. A spacious, two-storey café supports social events and informal working with artistically designed lighting, furniture and greenery. Combining research and creation functions, the workspace supports both work and learning with training facilities, a research & observation room, a recording studio and more. Guided by principles of wellness and creativity, the new work environment cultivates gaming innovation while reflecting Lilith’s youth culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709523630238-02Z4YBHYHJGW4JRFH28L/Lilith+Games-final-small-54.jpg Workplace Gallery - Lilith Games Leading game developer and publisher, Lilith Games, creates influential gaming experiences for players around the world.

We created a high-performance office environment that encourages social collaboration and prioritises wellbeing. The new headquarters spans 22,000 sq m across seven floors and reflects the company’s technology and research DNA. Informed by comprehensive workplace strategy studies, the design of SenseTime’s China headquarters creates a human-centric work environment for up to 1,400 employees. As the AI business experiences rapid change, the space addresses this with agility and mobility. It helps staff to communicate, collaborate and socialise in a diverse, choice-rich setting. High technology creates impact throughout the user journey in a space that serves brand and business. Inspired by the company’s culture of resilience and progressive innovation, typical work floors are open plan with glass partitions demonstrating SenseTime’s values of transparency and collaboration. Windows provide maximum daylight with public spaces for discussion and recreation to support wellness. The space encourages vertical movement and communications across different floors with meeting rooms, the exhibition hall and multi-functional spaces located at the building’s centre. The third floor features a variety of spaces for visitors, providing easy access for meetings while maintaining privacy for the work floors above. As SenseTime’s first self-owned property, the workplace creates a memorable spatial journey. Carefully considering the needs of staff, the space brings to life the company’s youthful and innovative spirit. Inspired by the Moebius Ring (a surface with only one side and one boundary curve), custom wooden furniture in the third-floor atrium helps create a fluid flow, symbolising a non-stop, circular pursuit of innovation. Featuring flexible seating, the multi-purpose staircase can host town halls, social events and recreation. A flexible layout and smart office facilities support experimentation with SenseTime’s latest innovative products. These include wall-mounted smart panels for meeting room reservations, face recognition access control and smart locker systems. The second-floor multi-functional hall has a 5-metre-wide full-colour LED display and high-definition speakers for events including product launches and public affairs meetings. The walls feature sound-absorbing sandstone, and a starred lighting design on the ceiling creates a futuristic feel. Digital screens in public areas across floors display air quality figures and other wellness statistics. Designed to meet LEED and WELL standards, the space includes low-carbon materials and addresses physical and mental wellbeing. Adjustable furniture on the office floor allows employees to choose how to work based on departmental, team and individual needs, for autonomy and comfort. The cafeteria, gym and sleeping pods turn the workplace into a multi-functional destination, helping it to attract and retain talent in the competitive field of AI. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709485412335-B4RL6CSV5Y9PANR77ZDO/Kids2+Office-final-small-2.jpg Workplace Gallery - Kids2 Office With an objective to make parenthood easier, “one tiny win at a time”, Kids2 has been inventing baby products for more than 50 years. Growing its China operations to attract world-class professionals in every department and engage with various partners within its ecosystem, Kids2 required a high-performance space to not only bring staff together but create an environment that fuels innovation, creativity and transfiguring ideas within its teams and with its partners. It was also important for Kids2 to create a space that cultivates its entire growing enterprise of entities that include a media company, multiple joint ventures and a venture capital arm. ————————————————————————————————————————— To create this hub – one of five across the globe - M Moser convened a team of workplace strategists, interior and brand designers, workplace technology experts, and wellness specialists, to achieve the ambitions of the space through a holistic approach. “Thanks to the brilliant team at M Moser, we’ve designed the space uniquely to our needs by embracing modernist principles like open plan, honest materials and simple volumes to build a design-driven environment. It is very conducive to our employees to encourage creativity and collaboration while showcasing our products and content for our partners and customers. ” David Butler Chief Growth Officer Kids2 Project highlights Honouring core brand values in a design-driven workplace Evoking emotional connections through a culturally-influenced journey and brand accessories that inspire fond childhood memories Nurturing meaningful visitor engagement through digital touchpoints discreetly embedded throughout the space Delivering a healthy, WELL-targeted environment to support Kids2’s commitment to sustainable growth —————————————————————————————————————————— Translating key values into design details The design concept was inspired by Kids2’s emphasis on ingenuity and its community-centric approach to create a playful and interactive environment. Bold colours sit in juxtaposition to calming and cosy neutral backgrounds, tailored furniture, careful design details and curated brand accessories. Printing, storage and mailroom spaces have been planned along a red “ribbon” core. The design discreetly conceals these areas with key brand elements. This intuitive wayfinding creates distinct signals to users, without sacrificing the design intent. This approach combined with the bold use of signature colour, premium materials and tailored detailing serve as an authentic nod to Kids2’s aspiration to be a design-driven company, transforming parenthood through carefully developed, holistic solutions. Elements from traditional Chinese games including Jianzi, Tuoluo and Kongzhu, have been translated into creative signage and installations. These graphics connect the brand’s international legacy with its commitment to local consumers. Playfulness in every encounter Guided by a “Playground” concept, the workplace features a series of artworks inspired by local scenery, known as “Joy in the Lane”. Showcasing the brand’s products in Shanghainese Shikumen lanes, these visual elements trigger fond memories for local visitors and create an emotional connection to the brand. Customised carpet at the front of house features a map of Shanghai, emphasising its central, premium location in the financial district. Unique, lantern-shaped lighting pays homage to Chinese culture. Other culturally influenced items to engage and delight include knot pillows, sponge holders and small food baskets. To reinforce branding and humanise the workplace experience, the team curated a series of accessories such as water bottles, cups and felt coasters. Manifesting Kids2’s innovative spirit, the reconfigurable work areas feature multiple flexible, modular set-ups to support different creative activities. A carousel showcase stage in the product showroom takes visitors on an interactive journey to experience a series of products ranging from entertainers, swings to toys and play mats. Flexible lighting, hangers and graphics support the display of a variety of products in a versatile environment. An immersive digital journey Digital storytelling was a critical component. Kids2 wanted to create a seamless experience for developing engaging digital content. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted in a lounge area featuring biophilic elements. This sets a bold sustainability statement against a backdrop of the spectacular Shanghai skyline. As the journey unfolds, visitors can capture a selfie that is organically embedded on the “face mosaic” LED screen. This celebrates each unique visit and the organisation’s philosophy of “tiny wins.” The digital experience area features four projection set-ups and acoustic facilities for a seamless, immersive experience. Supporting AR integration, it takes visitors on an interactive journey to explore brand stories, the latest product prototypes and other digital content. Activating engaging learning sessions and addressing space limitations, the showroom is equipped with iPad displays for easy digital access to Kids2’s brand portfolios: Baby Einstein, Ingenuity, and Bright Starts. Hand in hand with Kids2 stakeholders, M Moser’s multi-disciplinary team delivered a WELL-targeted, high-performance workplace. This culturally resonant space champions brand story and business ambition while strengthening connection with customers and partners in China. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709538091057-ZQXB73QBW9GGXBCCTQT6/Abbott+Office-final-small-5.jpg Workplace Gallery - Abbott Customer Experience Center The Abbott Customer Experience Center (CEC) will foster a customer focused show-suite and training center with state-of-the-art interactive technology. In lieu of a traditional reception desk, the lobby welcomes visitors with a two-story modular digital LED tile wall, surrounding speakers, a hanging art-sculpture with customer-engaging audio-visual hardware, and a cantilevered continuous staircase the spans the entire vertical stretch of the building. We designed in a 50-person auditorium, executive business center, an exterior roof terrace, garden, staff workplace, call center, and fully functioning biosafety training labs. Achieving a rating of LEED Silver, this facility represents the company’s commitment to sustainability, wellness, and a human-centered purpose to healthcare science. Founded on the belief that all design should deliver a human connection with space, we begin our process with a deep-dive exploration of what emotional reactions would align with core business objectives. If the desired effect is comfort, excitement, playful, cheerful, confidence, boldness, intimacy, or even an uncomfortable awkwardness, this informs specific properties of scale, materiality, colors, spatial adjacencies, lighting and furniture selections. The Abbott CEC is designed with the human experience in mind first — driving the technology integration, user interface, materials, and the interior architecture. During the 6-month design period, a carefully constructed customer journey was mapped out through working intimately with Abbott and consultants to gain a deep understanding of their business. The journey outlined the experiences and interface for the users (customers) at each “touch point”. This then informed the architectural design of the space. The 6 x 8 x 2.4h meter “Möbius strip” or “Infinite Ribbon” sculpture was created as an iconic arrival point for customers in the lobby, to inspire curiosity and push information about Abbott. The structure is completely hung from the ceiling and cantilevered from the core wall. Guests can walk inside and thru motion sensors, the LED display screens and background audio immediately come alive. Videos are played on screens on both sides. Gesture-based menu interaction is also available for a more customized experience. The stair is at the heart of connectivity between floor functions and the vertical journey experience. Guests walk up the stair with an obscure view up thru “floating” landings to the fourth floor. New slab openings, structural bracing, and each stair run and landing is fully cantilevered from the building core, with only 1 larger support at the base. The first 3 steps of the stair were created as landings to hide this support. The Customer Experience Center begins on the second floor. The “Hall of Challenges” disrupts guests perception of space through a long corridor with light in motion, reflection, intense sound effects, and digital images on screen beyond. This experience was designed to disconnect customers from their previous surroundings and into a fully immersive new space which begged for their attention. The other rooms of the Experience Center include a curved floor-to-ceiling rear projection screen, dramatic surround sound, 48-point ‘Multitaction’ touch screen, ceiling light effects, a virtual environment with rear projection on all four walls of the room (where any environment could be presented), product demo area, and an interactive customer solution room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710255904764-K9HXVHRMW154F46VQEST/Perkins+Eastman+Office-final-small-5.jpg Workplace Gallery - Perkins Eastman Shanghai Office With a front row seat looking out over one of the world’s most impressive and ever-evolving skylines, the Perkins Eastman Shanghai studio embodies the city’s zeitgeist and forward-looking design culture.

The lobby takes cues from a “Museum”: clad in light, bright stone, and accented with pale natural wood, pillars and a sweeping open staircase lend grandeur to the space. Overhead, Barrisol light boxes appear as pebble-shaped skylights. Taking full advantage of the architecture’s fully glazed south-facing surface, this floor also boasts an attractive staff canteen with views overlooking an adjacent park. On the second floor, a series of meeting rooms mark a shift from public space to semi-private. In stark contrast to the open and bright lobby area, here is imagined as a low-lit Theater. The third and fourth floors comprise a variety of work set-ups, ranging from open office areas suitable for collaborative projects, informal meeting rooms, as well as semi-enclosed spaces. At the far end, Kokaistudios significantly altered the building’s original architecture to create an impressive auditorium. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709627678592-J02XJHWX6287LG6Y4XZP/MAKE-Tianjin+CTF-final-small-5.jpg Workplace Gallery - CTF Tower Office Make has designed the workplace fit-out for the 96-storey CTF Tower in Tianjin, designed by SOM. The striking 530m-tall structure has a gently curving glass skin and houses offices, a retail mall, 300 serviced apartments and a 350-room Rosewood Hotel. Spanning 44 floors, our fit-out builds on our client’s brand philosophy – which celebrates art, people and nature – and aim of creating a destination where culture, entertainment, shopping and living converge. Our Northern Lights design concept celebrates nature in the city and draws inspiration from the distinctive light and movement patterns created on the tower’s facade. The lobby features a centrepiece Aurora-inspired ceiling design, with thousands of shimmering glass pearls suspended on rods of different lengths. Light bounces between the pearls, while the rods’ undulating volume complements the building’s curved structure. The design generates a variety of atmospheres, depending on the time of day and amount of light filtering inside. The monolithic central core – wrapped in rustic timber – is the central linking element between the office floors, which are all different due to the building’s undulating form. The wavy ceiling feature also travels up through the core, with a customised Aurora pattern in each lift lobby, while white wallpaper lines the tenant walls. The lower floors are multi-tenant, while the higher floors are single-tenant with individual entrances. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1764152043271-CQ5V27WNUSYT2BBXI5FV/Sanxin+Tower+Lobby-final-small-16.jpg Workplace Gallery - Sanxin Tower Lobby Revitalising a 90s office tower in Guangzhou’s CBD, this project bridges heritage with modernity. The transformed lobby, featuring fluid landscaping that mirrors the bronzed canopy creates an intuitive arrival sequence. Strategic lighting enhances the renewed façade, while interiors combine Sekoya marble, bronze, walnut and limestone in a contemporary tribute to Fengshui principles. The design respectfully balances historical echoes with contemporary functionality for occupants and visitors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709626918400-TK7FFA5W3F6C8Z8KA9JK/Richemont+Retail+Academy-final-small-1.jpg Workplace Gallery - Richemont Retail Academy The Richemont retail academy has re-opened within the grounds of the Huaihailu 796 complex; the UNESCO award winning complex designed by Kokaistudios that opened in 2008. As the central retail training lab for all of the brands owned by the Compagnie Financiere Richemont; the world's second largest luxury conglomerate; Kokaistudios developed an innovative and welcoming interior design concept as a continuation of our long cooperation with Richemont that extends from architectural design to the development of global retail concepts and roll-outs. 

 The project occupies the 2nd floor of the office building that lies to the Northof the historic Twin Villas that house the Maison Vacheron Constantin, the Alfred Dunhill Home and the Kee Club. In accordance with Richemont Group's value, the design of the retail academy emphasizes upon growing synergies between multiple brands and passing on common message of the group. 

 The layout of the two-story training academy was essentially composed of five parts, including two reception and waiting areason each floor, two corridor and lounge areas on each floor, office on the second floor, pantry & computer area and training class rooms on each floor. The rectangular shaped floor plate is mainly defined by patterned glass partition and signature wood panels. 

 The second floor gives forth instant youthfulness and vitality. Fun Spun Seats from Magis and a communal table are placed in the center of the lounge area, matching with vivid grass green rug. On each side of the central area, blue high-back sofas by Buzzi Space are installed, which can function as informal meeting space. People can easily come together and share information with privacy. 

 The third floor is elegant in style with innovative contemporary furniture. In the lounge area, the designer mixed Ro chair from Fritz Hansen, Alcove sofa from Vitra and fabric surfaced stools to create a flexible meeting, reading and relaxation space. Training classrooms are located beyond the glass partition. The translucent dotted glass adds vibrancy and provides privacy. Each classroom is separated by removable walls which are sound proof. The removable walls also gives the whole space flexibility for other events. Atthe end of the lounge, there are computer area and a long white communal table serving as work station or dining area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709626616410-A15SA3INO9LN92O1F9L2/Google+Beijing-final-small-15.jpg Workplace Gallery - Google Beijing Office After ten years in the previous office, Google Beijing moved to a new location in Zhongguangcun, China's Silicon Valley.

It is surrounded by lush green mountainscapes and beautiful ocean views. The design firm, Robarts Spaces, was inspired by the unique setting. Elements of bay, dock, ocean blue, and garden green were woven into the design and details of various areas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709626488733-124Y4J3J8YSDRDHY0A59/Mindshare-final-small-3.jpg Workplace Gallery - Mindshare Office The Shanghai office of Mindshare, a global media and marketing services company, was designed by PDM International with artwork by The Orangeblowfish. The contrasting elements that make up the space, light and dark, colorful and subdued, serve to create an eye-catching design. The sitting area near the front entrance is styled with modern furniture. The open stairwell goes up vertically for six floors, a remarkable engineering achievement. Sitting areas alongside the floor-to-ceiling windows; natural light brightens up the space together with chic light fixtures. Grey brick walls help to define a communal space where employees can sit for a break or to enjoy a meal. A comic book wall that mixes superhero stories with current trends in social media brings a sense of fun to the working areas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709570941231-CPMPMF95BQ7766LWHPGG/WeWork+YanAn-final-small-5.jpg Workplace Gallery - WeWork East Yan'an Road Headquartered in New-York with 50 office locations around the world, WeWork has now transformed Shanghai buildings into exciting shared workspaces. 
WeWork East Yanan Road brings modern Shanghai office space to People's Square. Adjacent to a neighborhood filled with northwestern food restaurants, the space was influenced by the Silk Road in its design. Once an ancient trade route passing through the Xinjiang region in the northwestern China, it paved the way for the trade of information, language, and culture across numerous countries -- a trait directly aligned to WeWork’s mission and values. 
A hand-painted mural inspired by the ornate patterns and vibrant colors of silk road can be seen in the lounge area. A combination of different patterns from the East, West, and Eurasia, the mural was created as a collage and torn to reveal the various textures beneath. Underneath these layers, in blue and gray letters, contains one of WeWork’s mottos, “Better Together”. This phrase can be seen again in the form of a red neon sign behind the community bar. http://www.sethpowersphotography.com/residential-gallery daily 0.75 2024-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709975974928-QC0E9XK5U7CVYRGMNV2A/Sangha+Villa-final-small-1.jpg Residential Gallery - Sangha Villa A villa designed by Neri & Hu in THE VILLAGE, a community of life learners in Sangha.

On one of the area’s last remaining development plots, Runxi Towers is coveted for its site: an adjacent park and golf course with beautiful views as a retreat from the busy city. Amenities include a fitness centre, spa, piano room, mahjong room, offices, games rooms, piano halls and party rooms to support the residents and their guests. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709977523740-HWMNMOPYLF0Y1J9PD2F5/Runxi+Residences+D-Suite-13.jpg Residential Gallery - Runxi Residence Mason Studio, the award-winning interior design studio recognized for their intentional design approach, has applied their distinctive ‘less but better’ design philosophy to a new luxury residential project in the heart of Shenzhen City, China. For the Runxi Residences, Mason Studio has designed two eye-catching residential interior spaces that are at once ornamental and minimalist, traditional and playful - providing effortlessly modern-looking home environments meant to offer residents a retreat from Shenzhen’s busy city centre. Stunning in its clarity, Mason Studio’s thoughtful design for Runxi removes all extraneous visual clutter, instead highlighting carefully chosen features, furnishings and finishes. By incorporating only the most selective and high-quality materiality, their design approach creates maximum visual impact, while exuding a sophisticated sense of calm. To bring these unique residential spaces to life, Mason Studio envisioned the needs and lifestyles of a diverse homeowner demographic, including young couples and multi-generational families. The resulting two model suites (part of four, 60-story towers developed by China Resources Land and situated along the Dasha River) are a lesson in restrained ornamentation. Minimal detailing provides a new interpretation of what a traditional luxury home can look like within this marketplace while creating a sense of calm and a retreat from the surrounding city for residents. Created to attract young professionals, families and couples who are bold in their lifestyle, successful in their careers and appreciate the unique qualities of the fine craftsmanship that is displayed in the details, Mason Studio’s design for Runxi Residences is unexpected and unforgettable. In addition to these two interior suites, Mason Studio has also been engaged to design the lobby and common amenity spaces for the Runxi Residences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710065897642-XKGMT16ABE8QU3A0S1DY/CRLand+Ruifu-final-small-1.jpg Residential Gallery - CR Land Rui Fu In the design of this project, the designers studied the flow of users and set up a dynamic and static partition layout. The independent walk-in front hall conforms to the living habits of the elites, while increasing the privacy of the living space. The living room is bright, and the dining and kitchen space is generous enough to enjoy the design of Chinese and Western kitchens. The master bedroom suite has double-sided lighting, and each functional space can be naturally ventilated and lighted. In the selection of materials, the designers chose masonry and matte metal finishes for the public area; in the private living space, they used warm-toned wall decoration with brass to create a simple and lively living style. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710065913694-UIFMDKB0GETI7IOD0UWI/CRLand+Wanxiang-final-small-1.jpg Residential Gallery - CR Land Wanxiang In the design of this project, the designers studied the flow of users and set up a dynamic and static partition layout.

MiniHut feels grander than its 36 square metres, thanks to a high stud that contains living areas in the main volume and sleeping areas on a mezzanine. Additional modules, meanwhile, have been designed to serve as entrances, utility sheds and covered decks. And, with one side of the 3×8-metre structure filled with windows, the hut can take advantage of views and have a connection to the outdoors – benefits one might associate with something much grander than a small prefabricated timber building. The idea was presented at the Green Architecture and Construction Materials Expo 2017 in Shanghai, generating much interest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709977343464-YPANLGYJQA8VWYXFXR5I/Jingan+Townhouse+A-final-small-2.jpg Residential Gallery - Jing’an Prime Land Residence For the Jing’an project, the multi-generational families that inhabit these dwellings, together with a minimal design approach, express how essentialism redefines accepted notions of luxury within the traditional urban context of Shanghai, China. Jing’an district is rooted in tradition and culture because of its namesake temple. Built over two thousand years ago, it remains the physical and symbolic center of the community. As the city continues to densify and residences are built for a growing population, this development provides families with an alternative to the commonly seen condominium typology offering traditional notions of luxury through ornamentation and additive decorative application within single-level residential units. In the heart of the historical district, the design of these townhome interiors is a pure and minimal expression of extravagance. These family-oriented environments prioritize natural light, personal outdoor space, and the use of the highest quality finishes. The refined construction detailing and minimal use of finishes express how essentialism redefines traditional notions of luxury. Each townhome is created to be a lasting home for generations; one that values quality and craftsmanship over ostentation. Throughout the development, the interior material selection for the townhomes is reduced to the use of only three main materials; wood, marble and hand-trowelled plaster. By reducing the materials to a select few, an emphasis is maintained on the quality and execution of refined detailing. All finishes are void of any applied ornamentation relying solely on the inherent beauty and integrity of the material itself. A key element throughout the design is the lighting; a highly considered component that creates a dramatic and functional backdrop regardless of the interior furnishings. Not solely serving as a decorative application, lighting becomes an integral element in the interior architecture highlighting the interior finishes and supporting the functions of the space. The ground-floor property (Townhouse A) is conceived as a space for a young family. As a rejection of the chaos of the exterior environment, the design creates a calm and ordered atmosphere to enhance the quality of family life. An underlying fluidity was created through the use of a consistently light colour palette, physically soft material textures and subtle patterning, complimented by the abundance of natural light. The living room, dining area, and kitchen are open to one another to encourage familial interaction and communal cooking. Natural stone textures and light oak wood adorn vertical and horizontal surfaces of the interior envelope. The central staircase descends to an entertainment area where an indoor garden and daylight provide natural elements to the subterranean space courtesy of a skylight. The marble-clad stairwell continues upstairs for access to three bedrooms and bathrooms. These private areas are designed to be functional spaces for individual family members to live, work and relax. Retail design techniques are used to display personal possessions communicating the value of treating all objects with respect and care. The upper property (Townhouse B), is designed for a mature family, who spend their free time attending social functions, entertaining their extended family within their home. The colour palette, pattern and textural variation reflect the vibrancy of the lifestyle of the homeowners. Throughout the main floor, the living and dining areas have a distinctive high-contrast saturated palette. Open-grain oak wood panels and natural marble slabs are used on the wall and floor surfaces. The natural graphic patterning and honed textures reinforce the quality and innate uniqueness of the materials. A central staircase ascends through the levels with custom artwork and integrated lighting to exaggerate the architectural geometry adding interest to an otherwise narrow condition. The staircase culminates at the rooftop level where residents enjoy an expansive private sky terrace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710212245077-2REBIH7R9RKG22E0GZW5/Service+Apartment-final-small-1.jpg Residential Gallery - Sangha Service Apartment Service apartment at Sangha Retreat by Octave, a state-of-the-art, fully-immersive health and wellness retreat that combines the vast knowledge and wisdom of the East with the finest methods and technological advances of Western science. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709976832641-PSK3MDUP0SYQS2ZKYGMJ/Jinghope+Villas-final-small-15.jpg Residential Gallery - Jinghope Villas Designed by Singapore architecture firm SCDA, Jinghope Villas are located in close proximity to the world-famous Humble Administrator's Garden in the city of Suzhou. The villa exteriors incorporate features of traditional architecture from this region. White walls together with dark grey accents present a simple and elegant Suzhou style. The interior decor of the villas exemplifies contemporary Asian design styles. 

SCDA is a multi-disciplinary architectural practice established in 1995. Principal, Chan Soo Khian was the recipient of the inaugural President’s Design Award, Singapore Designer of the Year and is part of the Panel of Designers for Poliform in Milan. 

SCDA’s designs strive for tranquility and calmness qualified by space, light and structural order. Architectural expressions are distilled to capture the spiritual essence of ‘place’. Its architecture and interiors are inspired by the cultural and climatic nuances of its context, integrating landscape, water features and blurring the distinction between interior and exterior. Spaces are often characterized by lush gardens, water courts and air wells, engendering a sensuous engagement with the elements. Projects display sensitivity to the inherent beauty of natural materials expressed through clarity in construction details and elemental architectural expression. http://www.sethpowersphotography.com/zhenro-headquarters-office daily 0.75 2024-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708834368807-6IWQK9HHDME5RVHBRR7M/Zhengro+Office-final-small-1.jpg Zhenro Headquarters Office - Zhenro Headquarters Office / Kokaistudios Blurring boundaries between public and private, the five-floor office takes visitors and staff on a journey through spaces directly inspired by urban venues and landmarks.

Growing its China operations to attract world-class professionals in every department and engage with various partners within its ecosystem, Kids2 required a high-performance space to not only bring staff together but create an environment that fuels innovation, creativity and transfiguring ideas within its teams and with its partners. It was also important for Kids2 to create a space that cultivates its entire growing enterprise of entities that include a media company, multiple joint ventures and a venture capital arm. ————————————————————————————————————————— To create this hub – one of five across the globe - M Moser convened a team of workplace strategists, interior and brand designers, workplace technology experts, and wellness specialists, to achieve the ambitions of the space through a holistic approach. “Thanks to the brilliant team at M Moser, we’ve designed the space uniquely to our needs by embracing modernist principles like open plan, honest materials and simple volumes to build a design-driven environment. It is very conducive to our employees to encourage creativity and collaboration while showcasing our products and content for our partners and customers. ” David Butler Chief Growth Officer Kids2 Project highlights Honouring core brand values in a design-driven workplace Evoking emotional connections through a culturally-influenced journey and brand accessories that inspire fond childhood memories Nurturing meaningful visitor engagement through digital touchpoints discreetly embedded throughout the space Delivering a healthy, WELL-targeted environment to support Kids2’s commitment to sustainable growth —————————————————————————————————————————— Translating key values into design details The design concept was inspired by Kids2’s emphasis on ingenuity and its community-centric approach to create a playful and interactive environment. Bold colours sit in juxtaposition to calming and cosy neutral backgrounds, tailored furniture, careful design details and curated brand accessories. Printing, storage and mailroom spaces have been planned along a red “ribbon” core. The design discreetly conceals these areas with key brand elements. This intuitive wayfinding creates distinct signals to users, without sacrificing the design intent. This approach combined with the bold use of signature colour, premium materials and tailored detailing serve as an authentic nod to Kids2’s aspiration to be a design-driven company, transforming parenthood through carefully developed, holistic solutions. Elements from traditional Chinese games including Jianzi, Tuoluo and Kongzhu, have been translated into creative signage and installations. These graphics connect the brand’s international legacy with its commitment to local consumers. Playfulness in every encounter Guided by a “Playground” concept, the workplace features a series of artworks inspired by local scenery, known as “Joy in the Lane”. Showcasing the brand’s products in Shanghainese Shikumen lanes, these visual elements trigger fond memories for local visitors and create an emotional connection to the brand. Customised carpet at the front of house features a map of Shanghai, emphasising its central, premium location in the financial district. Unique, lantern-shaped lighting pays homage to Chinese culture. Other culturally influenced items to engage and delight include knot pillows, sponge holders and small food baskets. To reinforce branding and humanise the workplace experience, the team curated a series of accessories such as water bottles, cups and felt coasters. Manifesting Kids2’s innovative spirit, the reconfigurable work areas feature multiple flexible, modular set-ups to support different creative activities. A carousel showcase stage in the product showroom takes visitors on an interactive journey to experience a series of products ranging from entertainers, swings to toys and play mats. Flexible lighting, hangers and graphics support the display of a variety of products in a versatile environment. An immersive digital journey Digital storytelling was a critical component. Kids2 wanted to create a seamless experience for developing engaging digital content. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted in a lounge area featuring biophilic elements. This sets a bold sustainability statement against a backdrop of the spectacular Shanghai skyline. As the journey unfolds, visitors can capture a selfie that is organically embedded on the “face mosaic” LED screen. This celebrates each unique visit and the organisation’s philosophy of “tiny wins.” The digital experience area features four projection set-ups and acoustic facilities for a seamless, immersive experience. Supporting AR integration, it takes visitors on an interactive journey to explore brand stories, the latest product prototypes and other digital content. Activating engaging learning sessions and addressing space limitations, the showroom is equipped with iPad displays for easy digital access to Kids2’s brand portfolios: Baby Einstein, Ingenuity, and Bright Starts.

Growing its China operations to attract world-class professionals in every department and engage with various partners within its ecosystem, Kids2 required a high-performance space to not only bring staff together but create an environment that fuels innovation, creativity and transfiguring ideas within its teams and with its partners.

We created a high-performance office environment that encourages social collaboration and prioritises wellbeing. The new headquarters spans 22,000 sq m across seven floors and reflects the company’s technology and research DNA. Informed by comprehensive workplace strategy studies, the design of SenseTime’s China headquarters creates a human-centric work environment for up to 1,400 employees. As the AI business experiences rapid change, the space addresses this with agility and mobility. It helps staff to communicate, collaborate and socialise in a diverse, choice-rich setting. High technology creates impact throughout the user journey in a space that serves brand and business. Inspired by the company’s culture of resilience and progressive innovation, typical work floors are open plan with glass partitions demonstrating SenseTime’s values of transparency and collaboration. Windows provide maximum daylight with public spaces for discussion and recreation to support wellness. The space encourages vertical movement and communications across different floors with meeting rooms, the exhibition hall and multi-functional spaces located at the building’s centre. The third floor features a variety of spaces for visitors, providing easy access for meetings while maintaining privacy for the work floors above. As SenseTime’s first self-owned property, the workplace creates a memorable spatial journey. Carefully considering the needs of staff, the space brings to life the company’s youthful and innovative spirit. Inspired by the Moebius Ring (a surface with only one side and one boundary curve), custom wooden furniture in the third-floor atrium helps create a fluid flow, symbolising a non-stop, circular pursuit of innovation. Featuring flexible seating, the multi-purpose staircase can host town halls, social events and recreation. A flexible layout and smart office facilities support experimentation with SenseTime’s latest innovative products. These include wall-mounted smart panels for meeting room reservations, face recognition access control and smart locker systems. The second-floor multi-functional hall has a 5-metre-wide full-colour LED display and high-definition speakers for events including product launches and public affairs meetings. The walls feature sound-absorbing sandstone, and a starred lighting design on the ceiling creates a futuristic feel. Digital screens in public areas across floors display air quality figures and other wellness statistics. Designed to meet LEED and WELL standards, the space includes low-carbon materials and addresses physical and mental wellbeing. Adjustable furniture on the office floor allows employees to choose how to work based on departmental, team and individual needs, for autonomy and comfort. The cafeteria, gym and sleeping pods turn the workplace into a multi-functional destination, helping it to attract and retain talent in the competitive field of AI. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708834777378-YFGL2YTFYDN7PEIJTXLU/Sensetime+Day+1-final-small-4.jpg Sensetime Office - Sensetime Office / M Moser Associates In response to rapid business growth, artificial intelligence company SenseTime wanted to establish its Chinese headquarters in the Caohejing Development Zone of Shanghai.

Carefully considering the needs of staff, the space brings to life the company’s youthful and innovative spirit. Inspired by the Moebius Ring (a surface with only one side and one boundary curve), custom wooden furniture in the third-floor atrium helps create a fluid flow, symbolising a non-stop, circular pursuit of innovation. Featuring flexible seating, the multi-purpose staircase can host town halls, social events and recreation. A flexible layout and smart office facilities support experimentation with SenseTime’s latest innovative products. These include wall-mounted smart panels for meeting room reservations, face recognition access control and smart locker systems. The second-floor multi-functional hall has a 5-metre-wide full-colour LED display and high-definition speakers for events including product launches and public affairs meetings. The walls feature sound-absorbing sandstone, and a starred lighting design on the ceiling creates a futuristic feel. Digital screens in public areas across floors display air quality figures and other wellness statistics. Designed to meet LEED and WELL standards, the space includes low-carbon materials and addresses physical and mental wellbeing.

Experiencing strong growth, Lilith needed a human-centric, inspiring work environment for its expanding Shanghai workforce. To help Lilith’s people relocate into a new space that fit their evolving needs, we designed an innovative 20,000 sq-m work environment across three buildings. Combining expertise from workplace strategists, designers, technologists and build experts, we generated an inventive design concept to inspire and engage. This hinged on nine different art forms including video gaming, theatre, literature, sculpture and architecture. Art installations on each floor provide wayfinding, while curated furniture and customised environmental art offer visual detail. The functional space planning focuses on staff wellness and was informed by a series of workplace studies to understand user behaviours, work patterns and organisational culture. ‘Tatami areas’ with curtains on multiple floors provide accessible, private spaces for lunchtime napping, doubling as informal collaboration areas. Pantries and snack shelves sit at the front-of-house by a window to encourage movement and wellbeing. Curated greenery, ergonomic furniture and height-adjustable workstations prioritise a healthy, considered work experience. To support Lilith’s culture of life-long learning and hobby-based communities, the workplace includes a music room, photo studio, film screening room and games room. A fully-equipped gym and a cat room (uniquely designed to support Lilith’ pet-friendly culture) allow staff to de-stress and regain creative energy. A spacious, two-storey café supports social events and informal working with artistically designed lighting, furniture and greenery. Combining research and creation functions, the workspace supports both work and learning with training facilities, a research & observation room, a recording studio and more. Guided by principles of wellness and creativity, the new work environment cultivates gaming innovation while reflecting Lilith’s youth culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708835022927-64Z2L28G6745GLQ20FBO/Lilith+Games-final-small-67.jpg Lilith Games - Lilith Games / M Moser Associates Leading game developer and publisher, Lilith Games, creates influential gaming experiences for players around the world.

Combining expertise from workplace strategists, designers, technologists and build experts, we generated an inventive design concept to inspire and engage. This hinged on nine different art forms including video gaming, theatre, literature, sculpture and architecture. Art installations on each floor provide wayfinding, while curated furniture and customised environmental art offer visual detail. The functional space planning focuses on staff wellness and was informed by a series of workplace studies to understand user behaviours, work patterns and organisational culture. ‘Tatami areas’ with curtains on multiple floors provide accessible, private spaces for lunchtime napping, doubling as informal collaboration areas. Pantries and snack shelves sit at the front-of-house by a window to encourage movement and wellbeing. Curated greenery, ergonomic furniture and height-adjustable workstations prioritise a healthy, considered work experience. To support Lilith’s culture of life-long learning and hobby-based communities, the workplace includes a music room, photo studio, film screening room and games room. A fully-equipped gym and a cat room (uniquely designed to support Lilith’ pet-friendly culture) allow staff to de-stress and regain creative energy. A spacious, two-storey café supports social events and informal working with artistically designed lighting, furniture and greenery. Combining research and creation functions, the workspace supports both work and learning with training facilities, a research & observation room, a recording studio and more. Guided by principles of wellness and creativity, the new work environment cultivates gaming innovation while reflecting Lilith’s youth culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708835013827-2BL348AJ4N502ILEXWRJ/Lilith+Games-final-small-50.jpg Lilith Games - Lilith Games / M Moser Associates Leading game developer and publisher, Lilith Games, creates influential gaming experiences for players around the world.

In lieu of a traditional reception desk, the lobby welcomes visitors with a two-story modular digital LED tile wall, surrounding speakers, a hanging art-sculpture with customer-engaging audio-visual hardware, and a cantilevered continuous staircase the spans the entire vertical stretch of the building. We designed in a 50-person auditorium, executive business center, an exterior roof terrace, garden, staff workplace, call center, and fully functioning biosafety training labs. Achieving a rating of LEED Silver, this facility represents the company’s commitment to sustainability, wellness, and a human-centered purpose to healthcare science. Founded on the belief that all design should deliver a human connection with space, we begin our process with a deep-dive exploration of what emotional reactions would align with core business objectives. If the desired effect is comfort, excitement, playful, cheerful, confidence, boldness, intimacy, or even an uncomfortable awkwardness, this informs specific properties of scale, materiality, colors, spatial adjacencies, lighting and furniture selections. The Abbott CEC is designed with the human experience in mind first — driving the technology integration, user interface, materials, and the interior architecture. During the 6-month design period, a carefully constructed customer journey was mapped out through working intimately with Abbott and consultants to gain a deep understanding of their business. The journey outlined the experiences and interface for the users (customers) at each “touch point”. This then informed the architectural design of the space. The 6 x 8 x 2.4h meter “Möbius strip” or “Infinite Ribbon” sculpture was created as an iconic arrival point for customers in the lobby, to inspire curiosity and push information about Abbott. The structure is completely hung from the ceiling and cantilevered from the core wall. Guests can walk inside and thru motion sensors, the LED display screens and background audio immediately come alive. Videos are played on screens on both sides. Gesture-based menu interaction is also available for a more customized experience. The stair is at the heart of connectivity between floor functions and the vertical journey experience. Guests walk up the stair with an obscure view up thru “floating” landings to the fourth floor. New slab openings, structural bracing, and each stair run and landing is fully cantilevered from the building core, with only 1 larger support at the base. The first 3 steps of the stair were created as landings to hide this support. The Customer Experience Center begins on the second floor. The “Hall of Challenges” disrupts guests perception of space through a long corridor with light in motion, reflection, intense sound effects, and digital images on screen beyond. This experience was designed to disconnect customers from their previous surroundings and into a fully immersive new space which begged for their attention. The other rooms of the Experience Center include a curved floor-to-ceiling rear projection screen, dramatic surround sound, 48-point ‘Multitaction’ touch screen, ceiling light effects, a virtual environment with rear projection on all four walls of the room (where any environment could be presented), product demo area, and an interactive customer solution room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709537631238-8SNM5DJF3DMWER2SY6G3/Abbott+Office-final-small-5.jpg Abbott Customer Experience Center - Abbott Customer Experience Center / M Moser Associates The Abbott Customer Experience Center (CEC) will foster a customer focused show-suite and training center with state-of-the-art interactive technology. In lieu of a traditional reception desk, the lobby welcomes visitors with a two-story modular digital LED tile wall, surrounding speakers, a hanging art-sculpture with customer-engaging audio-visual hardware, and a cantilevered continuous staircase the spans the entire vertical stretch of the building. We designed in a 50-person auditorium, executive business center, an exterior roof terrace, garden, staff workplace, call center, and fully functioning biosafety training labs. Achieving a rating of LEED Silver, this facility represents the company’s commitment to sustainability, wellness, and a human-centered purpose to healthcare science. Founded on the belief that all design should deliver a human connection with space, we begin our process with a deep-dive exploration of what emotional reactions would align with core business objectives. If the desired effect is comfort, excitement, playful, cheerful, confidence, boldness, intimacy, or even an uncomfortable awkwardness, this informs specific properties of scale, materiality, colors, spatial adjacencies, lighting and furniture selections. The Abbott CEC is designed with the human experience in mind first — driving the technology integration, user interface, materials, and the interior architecture. During the 6-month design period, a carefully constructed customer journey was mapped out through working intimately with Abbott and consultants to gain a deep understanding of their business. The journey outlined the experiences and interface for the users (customers) at each “touch point”. This then informed the architectural design of the space. The 6 x 8 x 2.4h meter “Möbius strip” or “Infinite Ribbon” sculpture was created as an iconic arrival point for customers in the lobby, to inspire curiosity and push information about Abbott.

 For SC Ventures to be an agent of change within the company, they needed a bright, modern space that would inspire innovation and creativity, foster collaboration, and increase team efficiency—as soon as possible.

 Standard Chartered partnered with WeWork to transform that floor, via the Powered by We process, into an innovation hub and collaborative workspace dubbed the “eXellerator Lab.”

 The eXellerator Lab includes flexible classrooms, different types of meeting rooms, and even a large lounge to accommodate a wide range of events and day-to-day workshops. The design incorporates Standard Chartered’s brand colors, as well as nods to local Hong Kong culture.

 Standard Chartered has taken full advantage of the new space, hosting events and working cross-functionally to develop new products. From revamping their call centers to developing a web chatbot and relaunching their mobile app, the eXellerator Lab is already generating returns for Standard Chartered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709622302394-71WF6B7X742EJ9DO48IZ/Powered+By+We+SCB-final-small-6.jpg WeWork Offices - Standard Chartered Bank / Powered by We In just three months, WeWork transformed the ninth floor of the Standard Chartered Tower in Hong Kong into a space that inspires creativity and collaboration.

Originally these “shikumen” buildings were designed for middle class families in Shanghai and as they lacked modern plumbing facilities they were often seen as products with little value to preserve and were either demolished or just the “shell” was maintained and they were converted it into commercial use.

After extensive research and study, Kokaistudios developed an architectural renovation strategy that maintained the architectural features of the “shikumen” lane houses while tastefully altering the internal layout and transforming them into spaces suitable for modern luxurious living where each original lane house unit was transformed into one luxurious guest suite. Practicality is not a term that applies to this project as the shikumen architectural typology; characterized by their narrow and tall nature meaning that the minimum 110 sq.m suites are split over 2 floors via a step staircase with no elevator; does not lend itself naturally to conversion to hospitality use.

Located in the heart of Shanghai financial district, this building is a central focal point in Lujiazui for businesspeople, shoppers and tourists alike. The concept is a true all-day experience that transitions from breakfast to evening and bringing together dishes from Paul Pairet’s iconic restaurants Polux, Charbon, Mr & Mrs Bund whilst introducing many new instant classics including their first full bakery. “When it comes to defining the interiors for Roodoodoo’s we call it Retro Sleek – inspired by the 1950’s American diners, industrial detailing and mid-century design. A focus on creating a minimal, sophisticated, and sleek design that is an “all-day-everyday” gathering place.” Says Design Director Hannah Churchill The distinctive style of the classic American diner is lent from railway lunch carts during the golden era of rail travel; hence it carries the functional, industrial and mechanical design in its genes. One of the main materials we were keen to explore was in the project is the use of galvanized steel, to form shelving, lighting, and furniture detailing which is often set against a grey /black neutral background. Located amongst the skyscrapers of Lujiazui, we took reference from the sleek reflective materiality of the urban environment through, reflective surfaces, concrete counter tops, metallic color ceiling, and rectilinear geometric forms throughout space. Central to the design was retaining a sense of warmth and comfort. Paying homage to the origins of the French menu, we used more signature French interior design elements, such as Roodoodoo’s instantly recognizable motif ceiling and black and cream ceramic tiles. Retro cues start to reveal itself through the soft pastel colour, warm timbers, rounded corners of cabinet doors and a mix of furniture types bringing an inviting, eclectic touch. We wanted the space to borrow from old and new to create a warm and familiar space where the menu can be continually explored, and conversations can be enjoyed in comfort throughout the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710172314266-7UCN37CAB931VIWUF4U1/Roodoodoo-final-small-1.jpg Roodoodoo - Roodoodoo / hcreates hcreates worked in conjunction with the legendary three Michelin-starred chef Paul Pairet and his team to create the latest concept in IFC, Roodoodoo.

The villa was transformed into the home for a Shanghai-based Haute Couture brand, Grace Chen. The project encompasses the architectural renovation and interior design of the villa, as well as a new glass pavilion display and event space. 
Taking inspiration from Grace Chen’s beautiful and intricately crafted clothing, Kokaistudios developed a design strategy that is feminine and elegant, yet completes the classic design of the villa with a touch of modernity. 
Kokaistudios embarked on an architectural restoration of the building that valorized the villa’s original features, including the French doors, the inlaid marble mosaic flooring on the upstairs terrace, as well as the beautiful facade brickwork. 
The entrance to the villa is marked by a large black and bronze weaved metal gate, the design of which was inspired by one of Grace Chen’s designs. It provides privacy, coupled with a strong sense of arrival. 
The villa overlooks a courtyard that was completely re-designed to meet the client's needs, functioning as an event space and an area for hosting small fashion shows. 
The architect divided the villa into a series of areas, with a progression from the public areas on the ground floor to the most private areas on the third floor. 
The ground floor hosts the main showroom and lounge area. The show-kitchen and dining area has direct access to the courtyard. 
The fitting rooms and offices are located on the second floor. The architect settled on a palette of colors and a range of natural materials, together creating a comforting environment that acts as a supporting backdrop to the client's beautiful couture creations. 
While much of the custom-made cabinetry and display mirrors were designed in a style to complement the historic nature of the villa, the architect chose to contrast them with features and finishes that were intentionally modern. 
The interior space uses furniture and fixtures from noted domestic and international producers, such as pieces by Flos, and Murano glass lamps designed and produced in Italy by the family of Filippo Gabbiani, Chief Architect of the project. 
The third floor is taken up by the intimate library as well as the VIP suite for out-of-town guests. Exposed bricks were finished in a simple dove grey paint, giving the space a more unfinished feeling.
This intimate and elegant space is an area for reflection and exchange, envisaged as a “salon” of old times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709744240193-4G26TMHAYWMMIQWF9TPD/Grace+Chen-final-small-1.jpg House of Grace Chen - House of Grace Chen / Kokaistudios Kokaistudios has completed the renovation of a historical villa, located in the heart of the city’s former French Concession.

The villa was transformed into the home for a Shanghai-based Haute Couture brand, Grace Chen. The project encompasses the architectural renovation and interior design of the villa, as well as a new glass pavilion display and event space. 
Taking inspiration from Grace Chen’s beautiful and intricately crafted clothing, Kokaistudios developed a design strategy that is feminine and elegant, yet completes the classic design of the villa with a touch of modernity.

The entrance to the villa is marked by a large black and bronze weaved metal gate, the design of which was inspired by one of Grace Chen’s designs. It provides privacy, coupled with a strong sense of arrival. 
The villa overlooks a courtyard that was completely re-designed to meet the client's needs, functioning as an event space and an area for hosting small fashion shows.

The villa was transformed into the home for a Shanghai-based Haute Couture brand, Grace Chen. The project encompasses the architectural renovation and interior design of the villa, as well as a new glass pavilion display and event space. 
Taking inspiration from Grace Chen’s beautiful and intricately crafted clothing, Kokaistudios developed a design strategy that is feminine and elegant, yet completes the classic design of the villa with a touch of modernity. 
Kokaistudios embarked on an architectural restoration of the building that valorized the villa’s original features, including the French doors, the inlaid marble mosaic flooring on the upstairs terrace, as well as the beautiful facade brickwork. 
The entrance to the villa is marked by a large black and bronze weaved metal gate, the design of which was inspired by one of Grace Chen’s designs. It provides privacy, coupled with a strong sense of arrival. 
The villa overlooks a courtyard that was completely re-designed to meet the client's needs, functioning as an event space and an area for hosting small fashion shows. 
The architect divided the villa into a series of areas, with a progression from the public areas on the ground floor to the most private areas on the third floor. 
The ground floor hosts the main showroom and lounge area. The show-kitchen and dining area has direct access to the courtyard.

This intimate and elegant space is an area for reflection and exchange, envisaged as a “salon” of old times. http://www.sethpowersphotography.com/mia-fringe daily 0.75 2024-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709744730319-P1TQ53O3VMZO58BV85KY/Mia+Fringe-final-small-8.jpg Mia Fringe - Mia Fringe / Kokaistudios A space in which to see and be seen, Mia Fringe is Shanghai’s newest multi-brand retail and dining destination. Inspired by the opulence, drama, and layered visibility of theater, Kokaistudios’ design showcases an eclectic array of men’s, women’s, and lifestyle brands to glamorous effect. With interiors to match the quirkiness of the brands, the space combines sophisticated glamour with playful eccentricity. Spread across two floors, the 1,600sqm venue’s complex programming called for careful consideration in terms of directing visitors into and around the space. In addition to fashion retail, Mia Fringe also incorporates a flower shop, cafe, and restaurant, which come nightfall, transforms into an atmospheric lounge-bar concept. The challenge for designers was how to succinctly convey this lifestyle mix in a way that would capitalize on the store’s prime Huaihai Road location. Two separate entrances make a clear distinction between Mia Fringe’s retail and F&B elements, signalling to passing foot traffic that this is as much of a destination for dining, as it is shopping. By entering either, visitors embark on a journey through distinctive spaces, each inspired by parts of a theater and peppered with playful motifs of performance and the stage. Imagined as a rehearsal room, the downstairs retail space is home to the store’s more entry-level products, including high street fashion, athleisure wear, lifestyle accessories, and flowers. A deliberate lightness of materials - pale-colored wood and terrazzo, for example - sets a welcoming tone, in keeping with an imagined, relaxed backstage area. A mirrored wall stretching the length of the space not only amplifies light, but also makes a playful nod to a theater’s rehearsal studio. Continuing the theme, garments are presented on horizontal rails, directly inspired by ballet barres. An eye-catching main entrance welcomes visitors into the imagined theater’s front-of-house world. Framed by a deep recess, and under a canopy of exposed bulbs, it leads to the first of Mia Fringe’s two F&B locations: a ground floor cafe. A casual daytime spot, it serves coffee, tea, sandwiches and light bites. Beyond is a grandiose sweeping staircase, setting the stage for the venue's dramatic upstairs space. Elegant light grey terrazzo steps are offset by dazzling walls of mosaic mirror, spanning both levels and extending to a third-floor office beyond. Comprising over 1,000 pieces of custom-cut antique-finished glass, studded with gleaming brass brackets, the area alludes to the edginess of the Mia Fringe concept by way of an unmistakably contemporary ripple glass balustrade. The material is a recurring motif throughout, with no fewer than six different types used across the venue’s various spaces. For the best seats in the house, a more formal upstairs dining room is imagined as the well-appointed boxes and balconies of a classical theater. A place in which to take afternoon tea, brunch, as well as more substantial fare, come nightfall, a cast of bartenders perform their craft from an elegant bar area, positioned to mirror an orchestra pit. The space offers expansive views onto a central atrium connecting the two floors, as well as into the second-floor retail area beyond. From this vantage point, repeated rows of horizontal hanging racks positioned throughout transitional areas imply layer upon layer of scenery tracks; while the vertical lines of a louver wall, as well as textured ripple glass on VIP room doors, are suggestive of stage curtains. The stage in question showcases Mia Fringe’s most cutting-edge, high-end product lines, as well as a dedicated jewelry display room. Theatrical in tone, the space contrasts elegant materials - an abundance of walnut, parquet flooring, and touches of burnished brass, for example - with a consciously less polished wall finish of textured Marmo Antico plaster. The physical juxtaposition between textures refined and rough mirrors Mia Fringe’s curatorial approach of edgy sophistication. Throughout, product displays take the form of abstract wooden blocks, appearing as stage props in an unknown play. A theatre of a space, inside of which visitors are invited to find their own persona and role, Mia Fringe is where narratives combine and stories unfold. For this reason, creating a backdrop that lends itself to sharing on social media was of particular importance. Currently making waves in Shanghai, Mia Fringe takes inspiration from an established trend for multipurpose concept stores, started in Europe, and blending carefully curated products with a palpable focus on experience, all within beautifully designed spaces. A vibrant, day-long destination for shopping, dining, and more, Mia Fringe strikes a careful balance between sophisticated elegance and contemporary edge, lending new drama to Shanghai’s dynamic retail scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709744730319-P1TQ53O3VMZO58BV85KY/Mia+Fringe-final-small-8.jpg Mia Fringe - Mia Fringe / Kokaistudios A space in which to see and be seen, Mia Fringe is Shanghai’s newest multi-brand retail and dining destination.

The space offers expansive views onto a central atrium connecting the two floors, as well as into the second-floor retail area beyond. From this vantage point, repeated rows of horizontal hanging racks positioned throughout transitional areas imply layer upon layer of scenery tracks; while the vertical lines of a louver wall, as well as textured ripple glass on VIP room doors, are suggestive of stage curtains. The stage in question showcases Mia Fringe’s most cutting-edge, high-end product lines, as well as a dedicated jewelry display room. Theatrical in tone, the space contrasts elegant materials - an abundance of walnut, parquet flooring, and touches of burnished brass, for example - with a consciously less polished wall finish of textured Marmo Antico plaster. The physical juxtaposition between textures refined and rough mirrors Mia Fringe’s curatorial approach of edgy sophistication. Throughout, product displays take the form of abstract wooden blocks, appearing as stage props in an unknown play. A theatre of a space, inside of which visitors are invited to find their own persona and role, Mia Fringe is where narratives combine and stories unfold. For this reason, creating a backdrop that lends itself to sharing on social media was of particular importance. Currently making waves in Shanghai, Mia Fringe takes inspiration from an established trend for multipurpose concept stores, started in Europe, and blending carefully curated products with a palpable focus on experience, all within beautifully designed spaces. A vibrant, day-long destination for shopping, dining, and more, Mia Fringe strikes a careful balance between sophisticated elegance and contemporary edge, lending new drama to Shanghai’s dynamic retail scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709744787947-54P46FI4RRCBSG0XR1Q3/Mia+Fringe-final-small-7.jpg Mia Fringe - Mia Fringe / Kokaistudios A space in which to see and be seen, Mia Fringe is Shanghai’s newest multi-brand retail and dining destination. Inspired by the opulence, drama, and layered visibility of theater, Kokaistudios’ design showcases an eclectic array of men’s, women’s, and lifestyle brands to glamorous effect. With interiors to match the quirkiness of the brands, the space combines sophisticated glamour with playful eccentricity. Spread across two floors, the 1,600sqm venue’s complex programming called for careful consideration in terms of directing visitors into and around the space. In addition to fashion retail, Mia Fringe also incorporates a flower shop, cafe, and restaurant, which come nightfall, transforms into an atmospheric lounge-bar concept. The challenge for designers was how to succinctly convey this lifestyle mix in a way that would capitalize on the store’s prime Huaihai Road location. Two separate entrances make a clear distinction between Mia Fringe’s retail and F&B elements, signalling to passing foot traffic that this is as much of a destination for dining, as it is shopping. By entering either, visitors embark on a journey through distinctive spaces, each inspired by parts of a theater and peppered with playful motifs of performance and the stage. Imagined as a rehearsal room, the downstairs retail space is home to the store’s more entry-level products, including high street fashion, athleisure wear, lifestyle accessories, and flowers. A deliberate lightness of materials - pale-colored wood and terrazzo, for example - sets a welcoming tone, in keeping with an imagined, relaxed backstage area. A mirrored wall stretching the length of the space not only amplifies light, but also makes a playful nod to a theater’s rehearsal studio. Continuing the theme, garments are presented on horizontal rails, directly inspired by ballet barres. An eye-catching main entrance welcomes visitors into the imagined theater’s front-of-house world. Framed by a deep recess, and under a canopy of exposed bulbs, it leads to the first of Mia Fringe’s two F&B locations: a ground floor cafe. A casual daytime spot, it serves coffee, tea, sandwiches and light bites. Beyond is a grandiose sweeping staircase, setting the stage for the venue's dramatic upstairs space. Elegant light grey terrazzo steps are offset by dazzling walls of mosaic mirror, spanning both levels and extending to a third-floor office beyond. Comprising over 1,000 pieces of custom-cut antique-finished glass, studded with gleaming brass brackets, the area alludes to the edginess of the Mia Fringe concept by way of an unmistakably contemporary ripple glass balustrade. The material is a recurring motif throughout, with no fewer than six different types used across the venue’s various spaces.

A vibrant, day-long destination for shopping, dining, and more, Mia Fringe strikes a careful balance between sophisticated elegance and contemporary edge, lending new drama to Shanghai’s dynamic retail scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709744733901-0TDSIIVSPU6R2C2VDUIV/Mia+Fringe-final-small-21.jpg Mia Fringe - Mia Fringe / Kokaistudios A space in which to see and be seen, Mia Fringe is Shanghai’s newest multi-brand retail and dining destination. Inspired by the opulence, drama, and layered visibility of theater, Kokaistudios’ design showcases an eclectic array of men’s, women’s, and lifestyle brands to glamorous effect. With interiors to match the quirkiness of the brands, the space combines sophisticated glamour with playful eccentricity. Spread across two floors, the 1,600sqm venue’s complex programming called for careful consideration in terms of directing visitors into and around the space. In addition to fashion retail, Mia Fringe also incorporates a flower shop, cafe, and restaurant, which come nightfall, transforms into an atmospheric lounge-bar concept. The challenge for designers was how to succinctly convey this lifestyle mix in a way that would capitalize on the store’s prime Huaihai Road location. Two separate entrances make a clear distinction between Mia Fringe’s retail and F&B elements, signalling to passing foot traffic that this is as much of a destination for dining, as it is shopping. By entering either, visitors embark on a journey through distinctive spaces, each inspired by parts of a theater and peppered with playful motifs of performance and the stage. Imagined as a rehearsal room, the downstairs retail space is home to the store’s more entry-level products, including high street fashion, athleisure wear, lifestyle accessories, and flowers. A deliberate lightness of materials - pale-colored wood and terrazzo, for example - sets a welcoming tone, in keeping with an imagined, relaxed backstage area. A mirrored wall stretching the length of the space not only amplifies light, but also makes a playful nod to a theater’s rehearsal studio. Continuing the theme, garments are presented on horizontal rails, directly inspired by ballet barres. An eye-catching main entrance welcomes visitors into the imagined theater’s front-of-house world. Framed by a deep recess, and under a canopy of exposed bulbs, it leads to the first of Mia Fringe’s two F&B locations: a ground floor cafe. A casual daytime spot, it serves coffee, tea, sandwiches and light bites. Beyond is a grandiose sweeping staircase, setting the stage for the venue's dramatic upstairs space. Elegant light grey terrazzo steps are offset by dazzling walls of mosaic mirror, spanning both levels and extending to a third-floor office beyond. Comprising over 1,000 pieces of custom-cut antique-finished glass, studded with gleaming brass brackets, the area alludes to the edginess of the Mia Fringe concept by way of an unmistakably contemporary ripple glass balustrade. The material is a recurring motif throughout, with no fewer than six different types used across the venue’s various spaces. For the best seats in the house, a more formal upstairs dining room is imagined as the well-appointed boxes and balconies of a classical theater. A place in which to take afternoon tea, brunch, as well as more substantial fare, come nightfall, a cast of bartenders perform their craft from an elegant bar area, positioned to mirror an orchestra pit. The space offers expansive views onto a central atrium connecting the two floors, as well as into the second-floor retail area beyond. From this vantage point, repeated rows of horizontal hanging racks positioned throughout transitional areas imply layer upon layer of scenery tracks; while the vertical lines of a louver wall, as well as textured ripple glass on VIP room doors, are suggestive of stage curtains. The stage in question showcases Mia Fringe’s most cutting-edge, high-end product lines, as well as a dedicated jewelry display room. Theatrical in tone, the space contrasts elegant materials - an abundance of walnut, parquet flooring, and touches of burnished brass, for example - with a consciously less polished wall finish of textured Marmo Antico plaster. The physical juxtaposition between textures refined and rough mirrors Mia Fringe’s curatorial approach of edgy sophistication. Throughout, product displays take the form of abstract wooden blocks, appearing as stage props in an unknown play.

Imagined as a rehearsal room, the downstairs retail space is home to the store’s more entry-level products, including high street fashion, athleisure wear, lifestyle accessories, and flowers. A deliberate lightness of materials - pale-colored wood and terrazzo, for example - sets a welcoming tone, in keeping with an imagined, relaxed backstage area. A mirrored wall stretching the length of the space not only amplifies light, but also makes a playful nod to a theater’s rehearsal studio. Continuing the theme, garments are presented on horizontal rails, directly inspired by ballet barres. An eye-catching main entrance welcomes visitors into the imagined theater’s front-of-house world. Framed by a deep recess, and under a canopy of exposed bulbs, it leads to the first of Mia Fringe’s two F&B locations: a ground floor cafe. A casual daytime spot, it serves coffee, tea, sandwiches and light bites. Beyond is a grandiose sweeping staircase, setting the stage for the venue's dramatic upstairs space. Elegant light grey terrazzo steps are offset by dazzling walls of mosaic mirror, spanning both levels and extending to a third-floor office beyond. Comprising over 1,000 pieces of custom-cut antique-finished glass, studded with gleaming brass brackets, the area alludes to the edginess of the Mia Fringe concept by way of an unmistakably contemporary ripple glass balustrade. The material is a recurring motif throughout, with no fewer than six different types used across the venue’s various spaces. For the best seats in the house, a more formal upstairs dining room is imagined as the well-appointed boxes and balconies of a classical theater. A place in which to take afternoon tea, brunch, as well as more substantial fare, come nightfall, a cast of bartenders perform their craft from an elegant bar area, positioned to mirror an orchestra pit. The space offers expansive views onto a central atrium connecting the two floors, as well as into the second-floor retail area beyond. From this vantage point, repeated rows of horizontal hanging racks positioned throughout transitional areas imply layer upon layer of scenery tracks; while the vertical lines of a louver wall, as well as textured ripple glass on VIP room doors, are suggestive of stage curtains. The stage in question showcases Mia Fringe’s most cutting-edge, high-end product lines, as well as a dedicated jewelry display room. Theatrical in tone, the space contrasts elegant materials - an abundance of walnut, parquet flooring, and touches of burnished brass, for example - with a consciously less polished wall finish of textured Marmo Antico plaster. The physical juxtaposition between textures refined and rough mirrors Mia Fringe’s curatorial approach of edgy sophistication. Throughout, product displays take the form of abstract wooden blocks, appearing as stage props in an unknown play. A theatre of a space, inside of which visitors are invited to find their own persona and role, Mia Fringe is where narratives combine and stories unfold. For this reason, creating a backdrop that lends itself to sharing on social media was of particular importance. Currently making waves in Shanghai, Mia Fringe takes inspiration from an established trend for multipurpose concept stores, started in Europe, and blending carefully curated products with a palpable focus on experience, all within beautifully designed spaces. A vibrant, day-long destination for shopping, dining, and more, Mia Fringe strikes a careful balance between sophisticated elegance and contemporary edge, lending new drama to Shanghai’s dynamic retail scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710130865693-NSETPJ4Q8PGTHRQLZ89E/Mia+Fringe-final-small-5.jpg Mia Fringe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710130931224-L42H665P2UXZU3WMB1YR/Mia+Fringe-final-small-18.jpg Mia Fringe - Mia Fringe / Kokaistudios A space in which to see and be seen, Mia Fringe is Shanghai’s newest multi-brand retail and dining destination.

Taking inspiration from the style and the energy of 1960s, Kokaistudios created immersive and memorable experience for guests as if stepping back in time when walked in the door. 
Upon stepping through the front door of Shake, visitors are invited to travel back in time into an environment similar to a soul music supper-club in 1960’s New York. The oval shaped marble bar is one of the central features of the space. Uneven floor heights allow guests at both the front and the back of the bar to have unblocked views of the stage. The undulating golden wave panels on the ceiling connect the bar to the stage, forming the heart of the project. The panels fill both an aesthetic and acoustic role to filter and distribute the sound emanating from the stage throughout the club. The stage was designed to host a full soul band including a piano and a horn section and to be levelled with the main floor, so as to create a sense of intimacy between the band and the audience. This focus on intimacy and the primacy of the musical experience led to a space with multiple floor levels in which every seat, from two-person high tables to the banquettes, provides clear line of sight to the stage, allowing the audience to feel involved in the show. As live music is only performed three nights a week, the designer created a sliding door system that could cover the stage, as well as a full DJ setup for spinning music during the rest of the week. In Shanghai’s competitive nightlife scene, Shake stands out with its sophisticated combination of world-class soul music and innovative dining & drinking.

Upon stepping through the front door of Shake, visitors are invited to travel back in time into an environment similar to a soul music supper-club in 1960’s New York. The oval shaped marble bar is one of the central features of the space. Uneven floor heights allow guests at both the front and the back of the bar to have unblocked views of the stage. The undulating golden wave panels on the ceiling connect the bar to the stage, forming the heart of the project. The panels fill both an aesthetic and acoustic role to filter and distribute the sound emanating from the stage throughout the club. The stage was designed to host a full soul band including a piano and a horn section and to be levelled with the main floor, so as to create a sense of intimacy between the band and the audience. This focus on intimacy and the primacy of the musical experience led to a space with multiple floor levels in which every seat, from two-person high tables to the banquettes, provides clear line of sight to the stage, allowing the audience to feel involved in the show. As live music is only performed three nights a week, the designer created a sliding door system that could cover the stage, as well as a full DJ setup for spinning music during the rest of the week. In Shanghai’s competitive nightlife scene, Shake stands out with its sophisticated combination of world-class soul music and innovative dining & drinking.

A rich combination of classic modern western furniture pieces and Japanese detailing create a unique dining atmosphere not seen in Shanghai to date. http://www.sethpowersphotography.com/jiu-wo-restaurant daily 0.75 2024-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709750167757-U2KMV3Z934TROAVQCCMQ/Japanese+Lounge-final-small-2.jpg Jiu Wo Restaurant - Jiuwo Restaurant / red design Jiu Wo is a high end, Japanese private dining and lounge venue in Shanghai, offering refined and discrete hospitality to the owners guests on a par with a luxury hotel restaurant. Jiu Wo comprises a 360sqm space which occupies the entire 5th floor of a refurbished industrial building on Anfu Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai. This space includes a generous lounge seating area, private meeting facilities and two Private Chef rooms with seating arranged around a U-shaped counter. These intimate rooms are skillfully woven into the fabric of the existing building, creating a carefully considered customer journey which reveals a balanced mix of public and private spaces. The venue also has a large 130sqm roof terrace on which a series of pavilions are constructed to extend the sense of intimacy and privacy to the exterior. The design concept behind Jiu Wo originates with the character of the ‘Itamae’: the cook or chef in a high-end Japanese kitchen. The term can be translated literally as “in front of the board”, referring to a cutting board. An Itamae is judged on how they move and work, how they handle the food and utensils and how they treat their clients. We extended the idea of the Itamae to the interior design: a refined and respectful interior space was created to mirror the respect and reverence that the Itamae gives to the preparation and presentation of Japanese cuisine. Further design inspiration was drawn from three core principles that permeate Japanese culture. Wabi-Sabi, the appreciation of the imperfect, irregular and asymmetric, influenced the selection of materials for the project. Natural stone floors, solid timber joinery with washed copper details and Abaca fiber flooring combine to a material palette which is contemporary but has the tactility, warmth and honesty of traditional Japanese design. We also drew inspiration from the principle of Miegakure – the art of hiding and revealing, creating an illusion of depth and the impression of hidden beauty beyond. This manifests itself in a series of delicate screens in linen, wood and metal lattice; these are interspersed throughout Jiu Wo, allowing the user to glimpse through and beyond spaces and introducing a sense of mystery as an integral part of the guest journey. Finally, Jian, the play between the positive & negative, influences the spatial and formal arrangement of design elements in the space. A recurring circular motif is used to create apertures and voids in walls and ceilings; these apertures introduce a formal quality to key views through the space and poetically suggest an emptiness full of possibilities. In rooting the design for Jiu Wo in Japanese cuisine and culture, the venue offers an interior experience which is both contemporary and timeless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709750167757-U2KMV3Z934TROAVQCCMQ/Japanese+Lounge-final-small-2.jpg Jiu Wo Restaurant - Jiuwo Restaurant / red design Jiu Wo is a high end, Japanese private dining and lounge venue in Shanghai, offering refined and discrete hospitality to the owners guests on a par with a luxury hotel restaurant.

The theme of this year's winter show is "Ying", created by Xin Yaoyao, a new ceramic artist. She used the different ways of water in nature to create the main line, and turned the winter window into a natural space to express the beauty and color of the water. In her creative way, she used the combination of geometry and thin 1 millimeter porcelain unit to create a static interpretation of the dynamic whirlpool, ripples and the natural birds as well as the koi carpets. Three different kinds of water: reflections, ripples and whirlpools. Xin Yao Yao expresses the beauty and color of the inverted reflection of the water with countless pieces of transparent porcelain. Green birds and Koi as the creatures of nature connect with the involvement of Hermes crafts and landscapes. The limited window space reflects the infinite natural miniature. This time, Holland artist Kiki Van Eijk was invited to create romantic Christmas lights for Shanghai's "Hermes house" to ignite the joy and color of reunion. The jumps of light and line in the exterior walls of Shanghai's "Hermes house" are transformed into warm fireworks and colorful flowers. In every stunning display, guests are immersed in the beautiful night sky of Huaihailu Road. The beautiful vocal ensembles play the joyous prelude with the sounds of nature. The lingering sound lingers around every guest Hakka. The exquisite and colorful layout of the shop, absorbing the holiday elements carefully, becomes the Christmas fairy tale of snow, and conveys happiness and prayers. At night, four times, Shanghai's "Hermes house" embraces every precious moment with unparalleled enthusiasm. Guests stay in love with exquisite art works, talk freely and joyfully, explore and feel the creative world and craft Hall of Hermes, and spend an unforgettable and wonderful holiday in this warm and comfortable home. Natural wonders induce the source of artistic inspiration, and profound cultural details endow valuable poetic expression. Hermes adopts the romantic French elegance, through the perfect combination of art, nature and humanity, highlighting the artistic pursuit of traditional spirit, natural feelings and cultural blending. The exhibition of ceramic art of Shui Guang and porcelain color was unveiled. Shanghai The "Hermes house" first extended the creation of the artist from the window to the personal art exhibition.

The work represents the subtle communication and fantasy realm of man, nature and life, in a manner that resonates with Hermes’ respect for nature, reverence for life, and primal passion. The store windows created by Kim have morphed into a surreal realm of fantasy. The artist draws inspiration from the figurative shapes of plants, and combines these with surrealistic sceneries. The entire landscape presented in the four windows is bold and unrestrained.

The work represents the subtle communication and fantasy realm of man, nature and life, in a manner that resonates with Hermes’ respect for nature, reverence for life, and primal passion.

Is a well renowned Swedish artist with an international base. Thomas has worked in a wide range of materials and expressions, all signified by an elaborate sense of detail. His work is found in-between our usual dichotomies; it is both simple and complex, elegant and crude, naive and mature, traditional and futuristic… it exists on the borders of our common understanding of the world, our agreement of what is real. In the custom built installation for Hermès Maison, Shanghai Broomé has worked with calligrams, forms made from text. The result is an apartment inspired by the Hermès line of furniture and accessories, but with a twist; The word is the image and the image is the word. The objects in the windows are a play with how we depict and describe the world through representational systems. A chair is a chair, but it is both a form and a description and thus it becomes a neither/nor, since you cannot simultaneously see them both. To further enhance this clash of representations Thomas has for the first time moved from the two dimensional works on paper, into a third dimension made out of painted steel. A mantra is a sacred utterance a repetion of words that when made audible has the power to change ones state of conscious thought. The idea of the chair is tangible until it is made into form, until it is is represented in the world, then and only then is it a functional object and can be used in our everyday life. What would for instance happen if the chair was made of the word table, would it still be a chair, even though it tells us it is a table? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709971415371-Y3ILSOXKS4XTJIVXRSQV/2015-3-Hermes-Spring-Window-Final-combo-1.jpg Hermès Shanghai Maison - Hermès Shanghai Maison - 2015 Spring Window Thomas Broomé, born 1971.

The duo’s latest installation can be seen in the sparkly windows of Hermès Maison Shanghai, where the Museum of Natural History became the inspiration for a window setting that tells the story of a nature, earth’s elements and a well-fashioned archaeologist. Anchored in craftsmanship, Zim&Zou created all the elements composing the Hermès Maison window installation by hand, from drawing to cutting and assembling. For this presentation, all of the animals were carefully handcrafted using leather offcuts from Hermès workshops in Paris. The windows, hand-made with paper and leather, are an invitation to wander. Passers-by were suddenly walking through the corridors of a mysterious museum, straight from the street. The themes were inspired by nature, the two main windows were about air and water, and the two smaller windows were inspired by Earth. In the water themed window, a 16 foot paper skeleton of an extinct dinosaur swims through the room. The entire project required three months of work, and the support of a great local team. Thomas and Zimmermann transform flat paper sheets turn into sculptural volumes, giving each installation the poetry of an ephemeral material. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709971607062-9H71SH4SRBS4CRU84UXV/2014-12+Window+Finals-medium-9.jpg Hermès Shanghai Maison - Hermès Shanghai Maison - 2014 Winter Window Rolling away from computer design, anchored in craftsmanship, French artists Lucie Thomas and Thibault Zimmermann, co-founders of Zim&Zou, are focused on creating installations using handcrafted objects made out of tangible materials such as paper, wood, thread and leather.

Jing’an district is rooted in tradition and culture because of its namesake temple. Built over two thousand years ago, it remains the physical and symbolic center of the community. As the city continues to densify and residences are built for a growing population, this development provides families with an alternative to the commonly seen condominium typology offering traditional notions of luxury through ornamentation and additive decorative application within single-level residential units. In the heart of the historical district, the design of these townhome interiors is a pure and minimal expression of extravagance. These family-oriented environments prioritize natural light, personal outdoor space, and the use of the highest quality finishes. The refined construction detailing and minimal use of finishes express how essentialism redefines traditional notions of luxury. Each townhome is created to be a lasting home for generations; one that values quality and craftsmanship over ostentation. Throughout the development, the interior material selection for the townhomes is reduced to the use of only three main materials; wood, marble and hand-trowelled plaster. By reducing the materials to a select few, an emphasis is maintained on the quality and execution of refined detailing. All finishes are void of any applied ornamentation relying solely on the inherent beauty and integrity of the material itself. A key element throughout the design is the lighting; a highly considered component that creates a dramatic and functional backdrop regardless of the interior furnishings. Not solely serving as a decorative application, lighting becomes an integral element in the interior architecture highlighting the interior finishes and supporting the functions of the space. The ground-floor property (Townhouse A) is conceived as a space for a young family. As a rejection of the chaos of the exterior environment, the design creates a calm and ordered atmosphere to enhance the quality of family life. An underlying fluidity was created through the use of a consistently light colour palette, physically soft material textures and subtle patterning, complimented by the abundance of natural light. The living room, dining area, and kitchen are open to one another to encourage familial interaction and communal cooking. Natural stone textures and light oak wood adorn vertical and horizontal surfaces of the interior envelope. The central staircase descends to an entertainment area where an indoor garden and daylight provide natural elements to the subterranean space courtesy of a skylight. The marble-clad stairwell continues upstairs for access to three bedrooms and bathrooms. These private areas are designed to be functional spaces for individual family members to live, work and relax. Retail design techniques are used to display personal possessions communicating the value of treating all objects with respect and care. The upper property (Townhouse B), is designed for a mature family, who spend their free time attending social functions, entertaining their extended family within their home. The colour palette, pattern and textural variation reflect the vibrancy of the lifestyle of the homeowners. Throughout the main floor, the living and dining areas have a distinctive high-contrast saturated palette. Open-grain oak wood panels and natural marble slabs are used on the wall and floor surfaces. The natural graphic patterning and honed textures reinforce the quality and innate uniqueness of the materials. A central staircase ascends through the levels with custom artwork and integrated lighting to exaggerate the architectural geometry adding interest to an otherwise narrow condition. The staircase culminates at the rooftop level where residents enjoy an expansive private sky terrace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709977020469-A90Y8KBLZDFLURYIGQNA/Jingan+Townhouse+A-final-small-2.jpg Jing'an Prime Land Residence - Jing’an Prime Land Residence / Mason Studio For the Jing’an project, the multi-generational families that inhabit these dwellings, together with a minimal design approach, express how essentialism redefines accepted notions of luxury within the traditional urban context of Shanghai, China.

Throughout the main floor, the living and dining areas have a distinctive high-contrast saturated palette. Open-grain oak wood panels and natural marble slabs are used on the wall and floor surfaces. The natural graphic patterning and honed textures reinforce the quality and innate uniqueness of the materials. A central staircase ascends through the levels with custom artwork and integrated lighting to exaggerate the architectural geometry adding interest to an otherwise narrow condition.

Jing’an district is rooted in tradition and culture because of its namesake temple. Built over two thousand years ago, it remains the physical and symbolic center of the community. As the city continues to densify and residences are built for a growing population, this development provides families with an alternative to the commonly seen condominium typology offering traditional notions of luxury through ornamentation and additive decorative application within single-level residential units. In the heart of the historical district, the design of these townhome interiors is a pure and minimal expression of extravagance. These family-oriented environments prioritize natural light, personal outdoor space, and the use of the highest quality finishes. The refined construction detailing and minimal use of finishes express how essentialism redefines traditional notions of luxury. Each townhome is created to be a lasting home for generations; one that values quality and craftsmanship over ostentation. Throughout the development, the interior material selection for the townhomes is reduced to the use of only three main materials; wood, marble and hand-trowelled plaster. By reducing the materials to a select few, an emphasis is maintained on the quality and execution of refined detailing. All finishes are void of any applied ornamentation relying solely on the inherent beauty and integrity of the material itself. A key element throughout the design is the lighting; a highly considered component that creates a dramatic and functional backdrop regardless of the interior furnishings. Not solely serving as a decorative application, lighting becomes an integral element in the interior architecture highlighting the interior finishes and supporting the functions of the space. The ground-floor property (Townhouse A) is conceived as a space for a young family. As a rejection of the chaos of the exterior environment, the design creates a calm and ordered atmosphere to enhance the quality of family life. An underlying fluidity was created through the use of a consistently light colour palette, physically soft material textures and subtle patterning, complimented by the abundance of natural light. The living room, dining area, and kitchen are open to one another to encourage familial interaction and communal cooking. Natural stone textures and light oak wood adorn vertical and horizontal surfaces of the interior envelope. The central staircase descends to an entertainment area where an indoor garden and daylight provide natural elements to the subterranean space courtesy of a skylight.

By reducing the materials to a select few, an emphasis is maintained on the quality and execution of refined detailing. All finishes are void of any applied ornamentation relying solely on the inherent beauty and integrity of the material itself. A key element throughout the design is the lighting; a highly considered component that creates a dramatic and functional backdrop regardless of the interior furnishings. Not solely serving as a decorative application, lighting becomes an integral element in the interior architecture highlighting the interior finishes and supporting the functions of the space. The ground-floor property (Townhouse A) is conceived as a space for a young family. As a rejection of the chaos of the exterior environment, the design creates a calm and ordered atmosphere to enhance the quality of family life. An underlying fluidity was created through the use of a consistently light colour palette, physically soft material textures and subtle patterning, complimented by the abundance of natural light. The living room, dining area, and kitchen are open to one another to encourage familial interaction and communal cooking. Natural stone textures and light oak wood adorn vertical and horizontal surfaces of the interior envelope. The central staircase descends to an entertainment area where an indoor garden and daylight provide natural elements to the subterranean space courtesy of a skylight. The marble-clad stairwell continues upstairs for access to three bedrooms and bathrooms. These private areas are designed to be functional spaces for individual family members to live, work and relax. Retail design techniques are used to display personal possessions communicating the value of treating all objects with respect and care. The upper property (Townhouse B), is designed for a mature family, who spend their free time attending social functions, entertaining their extended family within their home. The colour palette, pattern and textural variation reflect the vibrancy of the lifestyle of the homeowners. Throughout the main floor, the living and dining areas have a distinctive high-contrast saturated palette. Open-grain oak wood panels and natural marble slabs are used on the wall and floor surfaces. The natural graphic patterning and honed textures reinforce the quality and innate uniqueness of the materials. A central staircase ascends through the levels with custom artwork and integrated lighting to exaggerate the architectural geometry adding interest to an otherwise narrow condition. The staircase culminates at the rooftop level where residents enjoy an expansive private sky terrace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709977033663-GK9GOLVZU4S4G7NHO4XY/Jingan+Townhouse+B-final-small-4.jpg Jing'an Prime Land Residence - Jing’an Prime Land Residence / Mason Studio For the Jing’an project, the multi-generational families that inhabit these dwellings, together with a minimal design approach, express how essentialism redefines accepted notions of luxury within the traditional urban context of Shanghai, China. Jing’an district is rooted in tradition and culture because of its namesake temple. Built over two thousand years ago, it remains the physical and symbolic center of the community. As the city continues to densify and residences are built for a growing population, this development provides families with an alternative to the commonly seen condominium typology offering traditional notions of luxury through ornamentation and additive decorative application within single-level residential units. In the heart of the historical district, the design of these townhome interiors is a pure and minimal expression of extravagance. These family-oriented environments prioritize natural light, personal outdoor space, and the use of the highest quality finishes.

For the Runxi Residences, Mason Studio has designed two eye-catching residential interior spaces that are at once ornamental and minimalist, traditional and playful - providing effortlessly modern-looking home environments meant to offer residents a retreat from Shenzhen’s busy city centre. Stunning in its clarity, Mason Studio’s thoughtful design for Runxi removes all extraneous visual clutter, instead highlighting carefully chosen features, furnishings and finishes. By incorporating only the most selective and high-quality materiality, their design approach creates maximum visual impact, while exuding a sophisticated sense of calm. To bring these unique residential spaces to life, Mason Studio envisioned the needs and lifestyles of a diverse homeowner demographic, including young couples and multi-generational families. The resulting two model suites (part of four, 60-story towers developed by China Resources Land and situated along the Dasha River) are a lesson in restrained ornamentation. Minimal detailing provides a new interpretation of what a traditional luxury home can look like within this marketplace while creating a sense of calm and a retreat from the surrounding city for residents. Created to attract young professionals, families and couples who are bold in their lifestyle, successful in their careers and appreciate the unique qualities of the fine craftsmanship that is displayed in the details, Mason Studio’s design for Runxi Residences is unexpected and unforgettable. In addition to these two interior suites, Mason Studio has also been engaged to design the lobby and common amenity spaces for the Runxi Residences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709977518842-GY6308YR3ZU37KTCR96M/Runxi+Residences+D-Suite-13.jpg Runxi Residence - Runxi Residence / Mason Studio Mason Studio, the award-winning interior design studio recognized for their intentional design approach, has applied their distinctive ‘less but better’ design philosophy to a new luxury residential project in the heart of Shenzhen City, China.

The project is located in a prime location in the Shenzhen Bay area, surrounded by a water system. The designers were inspired by the Mediterranean style. The hope is to lead the design journey through the language of design. The journey is divided into several stages, we start from a Mediterranean style garden, then through caves and waterfalls; the journey is surrounded by indoor gardens. Gradually, the steps climb up and soar over the clouds. The journey passes through beach stacks. Between strolls, the private island is reached. The designers opt for marble with a special pattern to represent the flowing ocean. Meanwhile, warm metals are also used. The whole design team aims to pursue the integrity and perfection of the space with a simple yet avant-garde FFE combination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710065874777-9715OX1FZR1FSIHJ42VS/CRLand+Ruifu-final-small-1.jpg CR Land Ruifu - CR Land Ruifu / Kokaistudios Kokaistudios was invited to design a prestigious residential development by CR Land in Shenzhen.

Qingdao Financial Center / KPF Emulating the Fushan Hill to the west and Laoshan Mountain to the east, Qingdao Financial City features a pair of iconic towers that create a new gateway for the city. Qingdao Financial City is located centrally in the Qingdao Laoshan District and is an international, mixed-use development at the core of the Jinjialing new financial area. A high-value, regional and cultural landmark, the project consists of Class-A office space and luxury five-star hotels. Qingdao Financial City provides an urban center that balances modernity with timelessness and reinforces strong internal and external connections to the city. The project links directly to a large plaza south of the site, which offers a key gathering place and provides a venue where the client and tenants can host gatherings and festivals. At 193-meters tall, each tower consists of five glass “jewel” boxes stacked vertically, symbolizing the prosperity of Jinjialing as a new financial center for the Northeast region of China. The glass boxes decrease in height as they ascend, forming a gradated, elegant silhouette. The shape of each box is chamfered at the corners to emphasize the prismatic nature. This design also reduces the wind loads on the tower, increasing their stability. Recessed mechanical floors sit between boxes, allowing for inconspicuous and efficient mechanical ventilation. At the base, a podium connects both towers through roof terraces, a grand ballroom, and dining spaces that sponsor an active mixed-use lifestyle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/9dbc4a66-4323-443b-addb-2da2d97ea6b9/Qingdao+Financial+Center-final-small-1.jpg Overview - Qingdao Financial Center / KPF Emulating the Fushan Hill to the west and Laoshan Mountain to the east, Qingdao Financial City features a pair of iconic towers that create a new gateway for the city.

The design uses undulating curves to subtly express three programmatic elements while presenting a bold monolithic expression on the skyline. The 530-meter-tall skyscraper will house office space, luxury serviced apartments, and a hotel. By stacking reducing floor plates, the tower tapers dramatically to minimize the surface area exposed to wind, sun, and moisture. The gently undulating curves of the façade subtly denote the integration of the three distinct programs within a singular smooth object. Square in plan with rounded corners, the floor plate geometry enables unique interior fit-outs and customization options for occupants. Research by the architect has shown that lateral forces due to vortex shedding can be controlled by tapering the vertical profile of the tower and softening any sharp corners in plan. The building’s aerodynamic shape greatly reduces this vortex shedding by “confusing the wind” and disrupting the opportunity for any resonating wind forces and loads on the structure. The softly curving glass skin integrates eight sloping megacolumns that follow a lyrical line connecting the centers and corners of all four elevations. These curving megacolumns increase the structure’s response to seismic concerns and are integral to both the gravity and lateral systems. They are effective in increasing the stiffness of the building’s perimeter frame, consequently attracting a larger portion of the seismic forces in compliance with the Chinese code requirements. The façade reinforces the curvature of the tower form and creates a shimmering texture over the building’s surface. The crystalline-like curtain wall stretches from the suspended glass canopies at each of the lobbies to the dematerialized, megacolumn-looped crown and presents a bold expression of a comprehensive, integrated design on the Tianjin skyline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708582398645-TZ9UXHXW9G4ON0QRWAX8/SZ+Rural+Commercial+Bank+HQ-final-small-1-edited.jpg Overview - Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank HQ / SOM This new 150-meter-tall, mixed-use tower in Bao’an, Shenzhen, will be a world-class benchmark for sustainable design that uses naturally ventilated atria and a column-free external structure. Vertical atria stretching the full height of the tower's east and west facades will provide ventilation and natural air circulation, improving the building's mechanical performance. Adjacent to a public park, and only three blocks from the sea, the tower will offer inhabitants spectacular views at every floor via the tall atria. The structure will be an external steel diagrid, a symbol of SOM’s rich tradition of integrating architectural design and structural engineering. The diagrid will be pulled away from the facade, enabling flexible and column-free interior office space. It also will provide solar shading. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1759127140911-CHPBCUDFJ6VKVZLA4RH1/Anadu+Pine-final-small-24.jpg Overview - Anadu Pine Villa / Studio8 Designed by Studio8, Anadu Pine Villa is situated in a secluded valley enveloped by pine forests and shielded by a mountain draped in bamboo. This boutique resort comprises just three guest suites and a refined wine and cigar bar. In line with Anadu's philosophy of "Find yourself in nature," the planning and architectural design showcases the unique beauty of the valley's pine forests. The designer aims to harmonize with the natural landscape, creating an unparalleled retreat experience exclusive to Pine Villa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1759125550002-KRTQ9H271WVBIQ46PJPG/Four+Seasons+Hangzhou-final-small-3.jpg Overview - Four Seasons Hangzhou / Avalon Collective Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at Hangzhou Centre, designed by Avalon Collective, officially opened its doors in September 2024. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Hangzhou City, known for its Grand Canal and West Lake, Four Seasons Hangzhou City Centre invites guests to embark on a journey through the water. Its design embodies the essence of Hangzhou's architecture, literature, art, heritage, and crafts within a modern setting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710172641611-NS5KUVDNYOJJVPMOD0LK/Four+Seasons+Suzhou-final-small-1.jpg Overview - Four Seasons Suzhou / Avalon Collective Nestled on a private island amidst the scenic Jinji Lake in Suzhou, renowned for its breathtaking gardens, Four Seasons Suzhou emerges as a seamless integration of outdoor and indoor spaces. Guests are invited to embark on an immersive journey through enchanting natural surroudings, starting from the island arrival and extending through vibrant social areas into luxurious accommodations. Guided by the architectural principles of classical Chinese courtyards, Four Seasons Suzhou beautifully captures the essence of Suzhou culture through the integration of the Chinese architrave as a pervasive design element. Paying homage to the city’s rich cultural legacy and the botanical elegance of its gardens, the hotel meticulously preserves this essence within the overarching theme of “One step, one scene” (一步一景), where each step reveals a unique scene. Four Seasons Suzhou’s design language skillfully marries the finest aspects of Suzhou, harmonizing elements of nature, culture, art, and architecture with a contemporary touch across its distinct spaces: Central Courtyard - Lobby Spaces; Urban Treasure - Function Venues; Retreat Escapes - Recreational Areas and Urban Oasis - Accommodations. These spaces blend cohesively, forming an Urban Sanctuary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1775110060069-WB8FPDDQO4MCVDSQT45C/Wenzhou+Legend-final-small-18.jpg Overview - Wenzhou Legend / AB Concept A members-only sky clubhouse by AB Concept crowns Wenzhou Lucheng Plaza, translating Ou embroidery, ceramics and inlay into a refined setting for dining, socialising and quiet escape above the city. AB Concept has crafted a sky-high sanctuary above Wenzhou in the 38th-floor residents’ clubhouse at Wenzhou Lucheng Plaza, a 7,000-square-metre social realm that channels the city’s millennia-old trading spirit into a contemporary luxury setting. Rising 389 metres at the confluence of old and new districts, the tower overlooks the Oujiang River’s “one river, two banks” urban landscape, a view that becomes a constant visual thread throughout the interior. Design director Kevin Chung and the AB Concept team root the project in Ou culture, fusing traditional crafts like Ou embroidery, Ou kiln ceramics, Ou sculpture and Wenzhou mother-of-pearl inlay with Western design codes. The double-height arrival lobby frames sweeping river vistas, where metallic lines and sculptural art pieces evoke a refined modern Chinese sensibility. Above, a three-dimensional camellia motif—an intangible cultural heritage of Wenzhou—blooms across a curved ceiling, its intricate stitching echoing the flowing stone patterns underfoot. The all-day restaurant “Jinge” features an eight-metre-high dome and a bespoke Ou-sculpted landscape wall, while the adjoining “Tide” bar centres on a shell-shaped counter in oxidised copper, shimmering like river ripples at sunset. Tucked behind, the “Jinyun” cigar lounge offers leather seating and climate-controlled wine storage for discreet business or social gatherings. Along the corridor, colourful Ou ceramics and luminous Wenzhou inlay set a ceremonious tone leading to six riverfront private dining suites. The signature “Jinyu” room, inspired by classical gardens, is ringed by sixteen stone columns forming an octagonal pavilion, crowned by layered glass chandeliers and walls etched with the contours of Yandang Mountain. The "Queen’s Room" mirror hall is defined by soft pink tones, with floor-to-ceiling glass facing the Ou River, drawing the interplay of daylight, nightfall and shimmering water into the space. A slender marble table accommodates art salons, afternoon tea gatherings or yoga meditation sessions, while mirrored surfaces and metallic details are enhanced under the lighting to heighten a sense of lavish drama—creating a private realm where female residents can momentarily step away from daily routines and claim a quiet moment to themselves. Together with the feminine “Queen’s Room” mirror hall and flexible smaller suites, the clubhouse becomes an airborne manor where Wenzhou’s artisanal heritage and contemporary urban glamour meet in the clouds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1759127151748-9HNUHWM0RSAUSKB90F2O/Yada+Xishan-final-small-5.jpg Overview - Yada Xishan Hotel Yixing / In-between Architects A Retreat into Nature Located at the ecological park of Yixing Provence of China, the new Unbounded Collection of Hyatt Group is a retreat into nature. In-between architects designed the 99 rooms using the idea of a mountain teahouse as a metaphor. “The ceremony was an improvised drama whose plot was woven about the tea, the flowers, and the paintings. Not a color to disturb the tone of the room, not a sound to mar the rhythm of things, not a gesture to obtrude on the harmony, not a word to break the unity of the surroundings, all movements to be performed simply and naturally--such were the aims of the tea-ceremony." The Book of Tea, by Kakuzo Okakura The connection to nature is the core of our design concept. Full frontage of the window plane is achieved to allow maximum daylight as well as visual connection to the two exterior courtyards, both north and south. The materials palette is grounded in nature, including oak, natural stone, local ceramic times, and lime plaster. Signature craft touches are reflected on the hammered stone wall at the entrance foyer and some of the wood plank wall panels. The natural palette continues into the bedroom and toilet, highlighted by the onsen built-in bathtub. The grand suite share a similar atmosphere and aesthetic to the guest rooms, and come with additional kitchen facilities, private semi-open air onsen baths, and of course, breathtaking mountain views. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710247478382-ZYAK5FE9036CZ05J5CLN/Kimpton+Shanghai-final-small-11.jpg Overview - Kimpton Qiantan Shanghai / Studio Carter The dynamic city of Shanghai welcomes a groundbreaking addition to its vibrant tapestry with the grand unveiling of Kimpton Shanghai.

The building houses the university’s architecture, design, and computer science programs, is made to be occupied by students from around campus. The space features three stories of tiered seating overlooked by open balconies and an overhead bridge connecting the hall’s east and west wings. The Wenzhou-Kean campus, a 175-acre site surrounded by mountains about an hour south of Shanghai, was created through a master plan by Michael Graves’s office that placed the university’s architecture and design schools (both named for Graves himself) at its center. Eight oblong “bar” buildings, clad in Angola black granite, form the structure’s three-floor base, hosting community spaces and classrooms, flexible exhibition areas, a makerspace, a digital-media auditorium, and a lakeside café. Punched windows and deep inset ledges emphasize the three-foot thickness of the walls while also providing interior shading and hiding mechanicals and ductwork. The bars are capped by two striking, daylit studio loft buildings, which form the fourth and fifth floors and offer more traditional architectural design studio spaces. These are fronted with ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) sunshades. As the hall welcomes students from near and far, and from different disciplines across campus, it is on its way to achieving its potential as a campus gathering place and an incubator for the future. “This is a place for architecture, urban and industrial design, and computer science; by the time you put all those things together, you’re talking about the future fabric of society,” says Ruble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710175422629-O9J1C4O8NZ9A40CMU2R4/Qingdao+Financial+Center-final-small-26.jpg Overview - Diaoyutai Hotel Qingdao / KPF + Studio Munge Emulating the Fushan Hill to the west and Laoshan Mountain to the east, Qingdao Financial City features a pair of iconic towers that create a new gateway for the city. Qingdao Financial City is located centrally in the Qingdao Laoshan District and is an international, mixed-use development at the core of the Jinjialing new financial area. A high-value, regional and cultural landmark, the project consists of Class-A office space and luxury five-star hotels. Qingdao Financial City provides an urban center that balances modernity with timelessness and reinforces strong internal and external connections to the city. The project links directly to a large plaza south of the site, which offers a key gathering place and provides a venue where the client and tenants can host gatherings and festivals. At 193-meters tall, each tower consists of five glass “jewel” boxes stacked vertically, symbolizing the prosperity of Jinjialing as a new financial center for the Northeast region of China. The glass boxes decrease in height as they ascend, forming a gradated, elegant silhouette. The shape of each box is chamfered at the corners to emphasize the prismatic nature. This design also reduces the wind loads on the tower, increasing their stability. Recessed mechanical floors sit between boxes, allowing for inconspicuous and efficient mechanical ventilation. At the base, a podium connects both towers through roof terraces, a grand ballroom, and dining spaces that sponsor an active mixed-use lifestyle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708823543069-UZ5KHG93SFJD1LWB46W4/Indigo+Hangzhou-final-small-12.jpg Overview - Hotel Indigo Hangzhou Uptown / Studio Carter Hotel Indigo Hangzhou Uptown, situated in the picturesque West Lake scenic area, is more than just a hotel; it's a journey through time and culture. The design concept seamlessly weaves the intricate threads of history, art, and modern luxury, creating a space where ancient and contemporary cultures converge perfectly. The hotel captures the essence of the Song Dynasty's legacy while embracing the avant-garde aesthetics of the present day. The hotel boasts 136 thoughtfully designed rooms and suites, each reflecting the elegant storytelling quality of the neighborhood. Two distinctive types of accommodation, the "Four Arts" of the Southern Song Dynasty and Lin'an Imperial City Night, offer guests an immersive experience in the captivating world of Song culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708516474138-XHGIMYP3TS592Y43Q3XH/Shen+Ye+Upperhills-final-small-13.jpg Overview - Shen Ye Upperhills Mixed-Use Development / SOM A new destination located just north of Shenzhen’s main central business district, this mixed-use development features two landmark towers, a ballroom pavilion, and a large elevated pedestrian park that connects the hills of the city’s two major parks: Lotus Hill Park to the southwest and Beacon Hill Park to the northeast. An enlivened podium provides a variety of retail experiences, including a large indoor mall and a small-scale shopping village. Designed with an emphasis on elegance and simplicity, the towers are a timeless addition to the Shenzhen skyline. In order to provide world-class office spaces, the design incorporates flexible floor plates, highly efficient systems, and unobstructed city views—all features that greatly enhance the user experience. SOM’s architecture and engineering teams collaborated on the design of both signature towers as well as the ballroom pavilion. The taller tower, rising 80 stories and 389 meters, contains office space in the lower floors and a luxury hotel at the top. It is supported by a central core and eight megacolumns at the perimeter, a structural solution which minimizes obstructions and opens up panoramic views. These qualities are further enhanced by the curtain wall design, which incorporates oversized glass on a 3-meter module throughout. The second tower, entirely dedicated to offices, features the same 3-meter curtain wall grid. The ballroom pavilion features a unique outdoor public terrace that connects to the elevated public green. This 12.5-meter high open-air space frames views of Beacon Hill Park, which lies directly to the east of the pavilion. Two large ballrooms above this terrace offer panoramic views to both the east and west, and restaurants are located on the upper floor. The faceted design of the Pavilion resulted from a structural concept—the folded enclosure to the north, south, and on the roof provides a structural depth which enables the long spans for the ballroom spaces. SOM also designed the two bridges that connect the site to the parks, which feature a meandering pathway to provide a varied experience along their length. The east bridge descends from the elevated green at a gentle slope, zig-zags across Huanggang Road to the east, and lands amid the tree-filled Beacon Hill Park. The west bridge, with its long spans across Caitian Road, is designed to provide a more protected pedestrian experience. The main pedestrian pathway weaves between successive garden spaces, while the depth of the bridge varies in correspondence with the long spans between columns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1611738066387-N1CW824AQBJOJUYP6Z7S/SZ+Rural+Commercial+Bank+HQ-final-small-13.jpg Overview - Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank HQ / SOM This new 150-meter-tall, mixed-use tower in Bao’an, Shenzhen, will be a world-class benchmark for sustainable design that uses naturally ventilated atria and a column-free external structure. Vertical atria stretching the full height of the tower's east and west facades will provide ventilation and natural air circulation, improving the building's mechanical performance. Adjacent to a public park, and only three blocks from the sea, the tower will offer inhabitants spectacular views at every floor via the tall atria. The structure will be an external steel diagrid, a symbol of SOM’s rich tradition of integrating architectural design and structural engineering. The diagrid will be pulled away from the facade, enabling flexible and column-free interior office space. It also will provide solar shading. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1685464065709-H0L2YNV0R5SMF37XLU59/Ningbo+Guohua+Financial+Center-final-small-14.jpg Overview - Ningbo Guohua Financial Tower / SOM Guohua Financial Tower, a 45-story office high-rise and adjacent four-story mixed-use podium, is set to rise in Ningbo, China. As a model of simplicity, sustainability, and urban connectivity, the complex propels the evolution of a dynamic central business district in the port city. Situated along a prominent east-west boulevard in East New Town, the site’s new public spaces are organized to draw tenants and visitors from all directions. A plaza features highly visible public art, and the low-rise building’s primary functional spaces are lifted to create an inviting open-air courtyard whose light-filled terraces, waterfalls, and serene reflecting pool demand attention. A spacious glass atrium directly connects the retail court to the office tower’s lobby, which enjoys an equally strong and welcoming 360-degree presence. Guohua Financial Tower’s skyscraper is highly efficient in plan and execution. A visible steel-and-concrete diagrid creates a memorable diamond pattern for the facade; it also reduces structural stress on the building’s core, enabling it to occupy less space at the middle and upper floors and allowing office plans to be open and flexible throughout. Underscoring the entire project’s commitment to sustainable workspace, the tower contains two multistory sky gardens. Here, natural and mechanical systems interact in an innovative fashion, as living walls provide natural filtration for the air circulating throughout the building. These vegetated surfaces also figure into a circuit that filters rainwater for irrigating landscaping and replenishing the plaza’s reflecting pool. The high-performance design of Guohua Financial Tower targets both LEED® Gold and China’s Three Star certifications. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1759127212516-JRO9P2OKDONKHMHT9V5F/Zara+Nanjing+Flagship-%C2%A9Seth+Powers-final-small-14.jpg Overview - ZARA Nanjing / AIM Architecture ZARA Nanjing Xinjiekou Flagship Store represents a bold new flagship typology, one that is immersive, spatially dynamic, and deeply integrated into the city’s urban fabric. Designed as an extension of the city, the store creates a natural dialogue with its surroundings.The architectural and interior design strike a balance between ZARA’s evolving global identity and Nanjing’s urban landscape, creating a space that is both contemporary and contextually grounded. By blurring the boundaries between retail, community, and culture, this project positions ZARA not only as a global leading fashion retail brand, but as an active force in shaping the urban and cultural landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710213546774-77UNCKUJABYWZKWJF7RS/Byredo+WF+Central-final-small-1.jpg Overview - BYREDO Beijing WF Central BYREDO opened the third location in Beijing in 2023.

Random Studio designed a pop-up store for Swedish fashion brand Toteme in Seoul, to mark the brand’s launch in the Korean market. From 6 to 18 December 2024, the pop-up store featured the brand’s Fall/Winter 2024 runway and ready-to-wear collection in a space constructed of hanji, a traditional Korean paper handcrafted from mulberry tree bark. The durable yet delicate paper was stacked to form display tables and shelves and suspended to form walls, creating niches for displaying Toteme’s clothing, handbags and shoes. Formed around the central design concept of a ‘work-in-progress’, with the textured surfaces and feathery paper edges left exposed, reflecting the brand’s emphasis on materiality and craft. Random Studio also designed oversized silhouettes of Toteme’s most popular pieces present throughout its display windows, drawing a connection to the brand’s online presence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1759127312418-ATX4U3V0TVXL0CS0M9SH/Fotografiska-final-%C2%A9Seth+Powers-small-10.jpg Overview - Fotografiska Shanghai / AIM Architecture Nestled along the captivating Suzhou Creek in Shanghai, a transformation took place. What was once a bank warehouse steeped in the rich history of this vibrant city, is now a destination for art and culture: Fotografiska Shanghai. This new address is anything but your ordinary museum; it is a poetic immersion into the realm of visual narratives, woven through the lens of photography. Our approach to this historical building embodies both preservation and reinvention at its core. We pay homage to the building's industrial legacy while fostering a new narrative, one deeply rooted in visual art and storytelling. The integration of original brickwork, concrete beams, and industrial details in modern spaces forms a multi-layered environment, infusing authenticity, and intrigue. Beyond cultural significance, the project catalyzes neighborhood rejuvenation, transforming a dormant space into a dynamic cultural center. The first-floor layout, inspired by Shanghai's diverse layers, embraces openness and fluidity. Various functions coalesce, offering a sequence of moments organized to facilitate human interaction. The restaurant, bar, retail space, and the ice cream shop blend old and new features, crafting a unique experience that merges historical richness with a contemporary twist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708681293442-9EDAU08R9KKLOW4OAFMP/Seesaw-final-small-10.jpg Overview - SeeSaw Coffee Huarun / TAKESHI HOSAKA architects SeeSaw Coffee, a homegrown Shanghai brand, opened a new location in the recently renovated Huarun Times Square in Pudong, Shanghai. The shopping mall stands at a very busy intersection and with Starbucks Reserve located on the first floor, it was pertinent for SeeSaw to maintain its originality. The designer TAKESHI HOSAKA architects focused on featuring coffee beans native to China in the design concept and aimed to provide a cozy and friendly atmosphere for their young clientele. Stainless steel mirrors shaped like coffee beans hang from the ceiling throughout the store. The bustling intersection of cars, bikes and people outside are drawn into the store through the mirrors, invoking an urban atmosphere. The mirrors also reflect the appearance of baristas working inside the store. The youthful and vibrant interior contrasts with the dim lighting, creating a unique atmosphere. The designer gave serious consideration to creating a relaxing setting for drinking coffee, since the fixed glass facade on the third floor could easily give a closed-off and stagnant feeling to the space. Shanghai is known to be a bustling city with lots of foot, bicycle and car traffic, so the designer took advantage of the “moving” city and incorporated the “floating coffee bean” mirrors to reflect not only the exterior views but also the daily scenes of people, bicycles and cars constantly moving. These reflections also give people a fresh perspective on the urban scenery that they are familiar with. The mirrors take on a variety of different shapes and sizes, depending on where the customer sits. The shape of the coffee bean mirrors have also been carefully considered. The coffee beans are shaped like the number "0", with a "1" in the center. In the binary world, "0" and "1" can generate unlimited information. The designer uses ones and zeros to represent SeeSaw’s changing collection of fresh coffee beans from around the world, and the brand’s openness and willingness to take on changes and challenges. At dusk, coffee beans emerge from the dimly lit store, captivating the interest of people waiting for traffic at the intersection outside of the mall. The middle of the space can be easily converted into a meeting space, perfect for hosting events. There are also spaces behind the pillars where customers can take off their shoes, relax and enjoy the view of the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows. TAKESHI HOSAKA architects has successfully created a relaxing space that brings the urban scenery into a shopping mall, while showcasing SeeSaw’s efforts in helping China’s domestic coffee bean industry grow and prosper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709627327432-HI7T7AWZDW40O2GC6KNG/MAKE-Tianjin+CTF-final-small-3.jpg Overview - Tianjin CTF Finance Center / SOM + Make Architects The Tianjin CTF Finance Centre is located in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA), an outer district of Tianjin, China. The design uses undulating curves to subtly express three programmatic elements while presenting a bold monolithic expression on the skyline. The 530-meter-tall skyscraper will house office space, luxury serviced apartments, and a hotel. By stacking reducing floor plates, the tower tapers dramatically to minimize the surface area exposed to wind, sun, and moisture. The gently undulating curves of the façade subtly denote the integration of the three distinct programs within a singular smooth object. Square in plan with rounded corners, the floor plate geometry enables unique interior fit-outs and customization options for occupants. Research by the architect has shown that lateral forces due to vortex shedding can be controlled by tapering the vertical profile of the tower and softening any sharp corners in plan. The building’s aerodynamic shape greatly reduces this vortex shedding by “confusing the wind” and disrupting the opportunity for any resonating wind forces and loads on the structure. The softly curving glass skin integrates eight sloping megacolumns that follow a lyrical line connecting the centers and corners of all four elevations. These curving megacolumns increase the structure’s response to seismic concerns and are integral to both the gravity and lateral systems. They are effective in increasing the stiffness of the building’s perimeter frame, consequently attracting a larger portion of the seismic forces in compliance with the Chinese code requirements. The façade reinforces the curvature of the tower form and creates a shimmering texture over the building’s surface. The crystalline-like curtain wall stretches from the suspended glass canopies at each of the lobbies to the dematerialized, megacolumn-looped crown and presents a bold expression of a comprehensive, integrated design on the Tianjin skyline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709537711423-UMZ9TEH9UQ1DBKUD33LI/Abbott+Office-final-small-13.jpg Overview - Abbott Customer Experience Center / M Moser Associates The Abbott Customer Experience Center (CEC) will foster a customer focused show-suite and training center with state-of-the-art interactive technology. In lieu of a traditional reception desk, the lobby welcomes visitors with a two-story modular digital LED tile wall, surrounding speakers, a hanging art-sculpture with customer-engaging audio-visual hardware, and a cantilevered continuous staircase the spans the entire vertical stretch of the building. We designed in a 50-person auditorium, executive business center, an exterior roof terrace, garden, staff workplace, call center, and fully functioning biosafety training labs. Achieving a rating of LEED Silver, this facility represents the company’s commitment to sustainability, wellness, and a human-centered purpose to healthcare science. Founded on the belief that all design should deliver a human connection with space, we begin our process with a deep-dive exploration of what emotional reactions would align with core business objectives. If the desired effect is comfort, excitement, playful, cheerful, confidence, boldness, intimacy, or even an uncomfortable awkwardness, this informs specific properties of scale, materiality, colors, spatial adjacencies, lighting and furniture selections. The Abbott CEC is designed with the human experience in mind first — driving the technology integration, user interface, materials, and the interior architecture. During the 6-month design period, a carefully constructed customer journey was mapped out through working intimately with Abbott and consultants to gain a deep understanding of their business. The journey outlined the experiences and interface for the users (customers) at each “touch point”. This then informed the architectural design of the space. The 6 x 8 x 2.4h meter “Möbius strip” or “Infinite Ribbon” sculpture was created as an iconic arrival point for customers in the lobby, to inspire curiosity and push information about Abbott. The structure is completely hung from the ceiling and cantilevered from the core wall. Guests can walk inside and thru motion sensors, the LED display screens and background audio immediately come alive. Videos are played on screens on both sides. Gesture-based menu interaction is also available for a more customized experience. The stair is at the heart of connectivity between floor functions and the vertical journey experience. Guests walk up the stair with an obscure view up thru “floating” landings to the fourth floor. New slab openings, structural bracing, and each stair run and landing is fully cantilevered from the building core, with only 1 larger support at the base. The first 3 steps of the stair were created as landings to hide this support. The Customer Experience Center begins on the second floor. The “Hall of Challenges” disrupts guests perception of space through a long corridor with light in motion, reflection, intense sound effects, and digital images on screen beyond. This experience was designed to disconnect customers from their previous surroundings and into a fully immersive new space which begged for their attention. The other rooms of the Experience Center include a curved floor-to-ceiling rear projection screen, dramatic surround sound, 48-point ‘Multitaction’ touch screen, ceiling light effects, a virtual environment with rear projection on all four walls of the room (where any environment could be presented), product demo area, and an interactive customer solution room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709975961774-D2W915CUFODX5SR7GOAK/Sangha+Villa-final-small-3.jpg Overview - Sangha Villa / Neri & Hu The interior space was designed by Shanghai-based design practice Neri & Hu.

Having previously worked together on the Brasserie at the Four Seasons Kyoto the Four Seasons team invited Kokaistudios to conceive an innovative F&B destination that could elevate the street foods of the cities of Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong into a fine dining destination and experience. 
Intrigued by the concept and the location in a city with no established tradition of Asian fine dining we set about creating a temple to Asian cuisine and craftsmanship that eschewed kitschy and thematic styles and aimed for the creation of an essential and refreshing space in which the dining experience is influenced both by the architecture of the space and the food offering. 
The restaurant design was conceived first and foremost around the idea of celebrating the diversity and excellence of Asian cuisine and creating spaces and opportunities for the guests to experience the sights, smells and tastes of these food cultures up close. 
We searched for commonalities between the cultures in order to come up with a design language to unite them and we took our inspiration less from the current nature of the individual countries but rather from the historical role that Chinese culture has played over time throughout Asia and how those influences continue to be part of everyday life. 
The entrance area of the restaurant features a long corridor flanked on one side by an expansive green wall filled primarily with local desert plant varietals and on the other by a series of custom designed water towers which combine to create a cooling and soothing experience. The corridor finishes in a tea wall fronted by an elaborate carved wood tea station where guests can select an expansive choice of fine teas. 
To the right of the entrance corridor sits the main open dining area on the right that features expansive 12 meter high ceilings that offers expansive views of the city and the Persian Gulf beyond. The front dining area center features a series of custom designed furniture for which we cooperated with Kyoto based artisans and the area is hemmed by an extensive shousugi ban burnt wood sushi counter inlaid with hand hammered brass. The soft lighting in the area comes from the series of water drop glass pendants produced by the London based artisans DHLiberty Lux. 
The rest of the public area seating is centered largely around the individual open live cooking stations where guests can experience up-close the preparation of robatta, teppanyaki, and dim sum and other delicacies from Hong Kong which have been clad by hand-hammered metal hoods and sculpted stone bases featuring images and motifs typical inspired by classical designs found in China. 
The strong inter-play between the main materials of wood, stone, and hand-finished metals is thrown a curve by the insertion of a 3D feature wall made of exposed concrete forms that runs the length of the kitchen wall and has been designed using parametric principles and its undulating form appears as a dynamic wave while being in actuality a straight structure. 
The private dining rooms are an ode to Chinese embroidery craftsmanship with bespoke chairs and walls featuring hand-printed linen fabric albeit with a wink to principal designer Filippo Gabbiani’s home town of Venice via the use of the Fortuny silk pendant lamps and red Murano glass inlays.
The bathrooms are an experience in and of themselves as we cooperated with a Shanghai based video production team Flatmind to create a series of Chinese shadow video installations that are projected on the grey hand hammered Chinese stone. 
The outdoor seating areas that are shared with the neighboring Italian restaurant Dai Forni; also designed by Kokaistudios; feature a stunning glass sculpture from London based artisans Duffy.
The design of this project is a new step in Kokaistudios method of combining a strong architectural approach to the design of interiors with an original use of materials and light to create unexpected subtle emphatic feeling between the space and the people; handcrafted materials shaped and controlled up to the finest detail interact and interplay with the both the day and night light and reveal an incredibly expressive power. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708680163759-L0N2D4G625AEWRQYVEL1/TaiAn+Table-final-small-2.jpg Overview - Taian Table / A00 Hidden in a deep lane in Shanghai, the Michelin-starred restaurant Taian Table is a small and intimate dining destination with an open kitchen and an ethos that based itself of a single, seasonal tasting menu.

Situated at The MixC shopping mall in the city’s Nanshan district, the store occupies a compact unit featuring an interior design by Stockholm-based architect and longtime collaborator Christian Halleröd. A hydraulic crane trolley lifting a colourful light box signals the store’s presence. Walls, flooring and ceiling in a soft grey hue form the backdrop for an assortment of furnishings, including large glass and steel cabinets, similar low cabinets with an orange frame, chunky wooden sofas with blue-striped upholstery, and a large oval table dipped in a striking purple hue. One side of the store is lined with large mirrors and pink stools. Lighting is highly functional, and sees three rows of tubular lights across the ceiling. The new Byredo store carries the brand’s full range of perfumes, home fragrances and hand & body care products. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708509208406-OG6EZ6D7GQ9RUJLG5CT4/Tianjin+CTF+Finance+Center-SOM-final-small-35.jpg Overview - Tianjin CTF Finance Center / SOM The Tianjin CTF Finance Centre is located in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA), an outer district of Tianjin, China. The design uses undulating curves to subtly express three programmatic elements while presenting a bold monolithic expression on the skyline. The 530-meter-tall skyscraper will house office space, luxury serviced apartments, and a hotel. By stacking reducing floor plates, the tower tapers dramatically to minimize the surface area exposed to wind, sun, and moisture. The gently undulating curves of the façade subtly denote the integration of the three distinct programs within a singular smooth object. Square in plan with rounded corners, the floor plate geometry enables unique interior fit-outs and customization options for occupants. Research by the architect has shown that lateral forces due to vortex shedding can be controlled by tapering the vertical profile of the tower and softening any sharp corners in plan. The building’s aerodynamic shape greatly reduces this vortex shedding by “confusing the wind” and disrupting the opportunity for any resonating wind forces and loads on the structure. The softly curving glass skin integrates eight sloping megacolumns that follow a lyrical line connecting the centers and corners of all four elevations. These curving megacolumns increase the structure’s response to seismic concerns and are integral to both the gravity and lateral systems. They are effective in increasing the stiffness of the building’s perimeter frame, consequently attracting a larger portion of the seismic forces in compliance with the Chinese code requirements. The façade reinforces the curvature of the tower form and creates a shimmering texture over the building’s surface. The crystalline-like curtain wall stretches from the suspended glass canopies at each of the lobbies to the dematerialized, megacolumn-looped crown and presents a bold expression of a comprehensive, integrated design on the Tianjin skyline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709975970873-NAXU3ILBWDFGM1DHA0LT/Sangha+Villa-final-small-13.jpg Overview - Sangha Villa / Neri & Hu The interior space was designed by Shanghai-based design practice Neri & Hu.

As a model of simplicity, sustainability, and urban connectivity, the complex propels the evolution of a dynamic central business district in the port city. Situated along a prominent east-west boulevard in East New Town, the site’s new public spaces are organized to draw tenants and visitors from all directions. A plaza features highly visible public art, and the low-rise building’s primary functional spaces are lifted to create an inviting open-air courtyard whose light-filled terraces, waterfalls, and serene reflecting pool demand attention. A spacious glass atrium directly connects the retail court to the office tower’s lobby, which enjoys an equally strong and welcoming 360-degree presence. Guohua Financial Tower’s skyscraper is highly efficient in plan and execution. A visible steel-and-concrete diagrid creates a memorable diamond pattern for the facade; it also reduces structural stress on the building’s core, enabling it to occupy less space at the middle and upper floors and allowing office plans to be open and flexible throughout. Underscoring the entire project’s commitment to sustainable workspace, the tower contains two multistory sky gardens. Here, natural and mechanical systems interact in an innovative fashion, as living walls provide natural filtration for the air circulating throughout the building. These vegetated surfaces also figure into a circuit that filters rainwater for irrigating landscaping and replenishing the plaza’s reflecting pool. The high-performance design of Guohua Financial Tower targets both LEED® Gold and China’s Three Star certifications. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708508945488-LVSEIYY5VY61H3XXQ4IP/Yangpu+Block+40-final-small-18.jpg Overview - Shandong Gold Poly Financial Plaza / SOM Located alongside Huangpu River in Yangpu District in Shanghai, Shandong Gold Poly Plaza was designed by leading architecture firm SOM. Consisting of four buildings of differing heights, the project covers more than 100,000 square meters. An exterior bridge connects 3 of the towers and faces the Huangpu river just to the south. Architects pushed back the first floor of each building by 4 meters in order to lower density, creating a more spacious campus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708834777334-NF36W4IO0SMFKMND0E9H/Sensetime+Day+1-final-small-2.jpg Overview - Sensetime Office / M Moser Associates In response to rapid business growth, artificial intelligence company SenseTime wanted to establish its Chinese headquarters in the Caohejing Development Zone of Shanghai. We created a high-performance office environment that encourages social collaboration and prioritises wellbeing. The new headquarters spans 22,000 sq m across seven floors and reflects the company’s technology and research DNA. Informed by comprehensive workplace strategy studies, the design of SenseTime’s China headquarters creates a human-centric work environment for up to 1,400 employees. As the AI business experiences rapid change, the space addresses this with agility and mobility. It helps staff to communicate, collaborate and socialise in a diverse, choice-rich setting. High technology creates impact throughout the user journey in a space that serves brand and business. Inspired by the company’s culture of resilience and progressive innovation, typical work floors are open plan with glass partitions demonstrating SenseTime’s values of transparency and collaboration. Windows provide maximum daylight with public spaces for discussion and recreation to support wellness. The space encourages vertical movement and communications across different floors with meeting rooms, the exhibition hall and multi-functional spaces located at the building’s centre. The third floor features a variety of spaces for visitors, providing easy access for meetings while maintaining privacy for the work floors above. As SenseTime’s first self-owned property, the workplace creates a memorable spatial journey. Carefully considering the needs of staff, the space brings to life the company’s youthful and innovative spirit. Inspired by the Moebius Ring (a surface with only one side and one boundary curve), custom wooden furniture in the third-floor atrium helps create a fluid flow, symbolising a non-stop, circular pursuit of innovation. Featuring flexible seating, the multi-purpose staircase can host town halls, social events and recreation. A flexible layout and smart office facilities support experimentation with SenseTime’s latest innovative products. These include wall-mounted smart panels for meeting room reservations, face recognition access control and smart locker systems. The second-floor multi-functional hall has a 5-metre-wide full-colour LED display and high-definition speakers for events including product launches and public affairs meetings. The walls feature sound-absorbing sandstone, and a starred lighting design on the ceiling creates a futuristic feel. Digital screens in public areas across floors display air quality figures and other wellness statistics. Designed to meet LEED and WELL standards, the space includes low-carbon materials and addresses physical and mental wellbeing. Adjustable furniture on the office floor allows employees to choose how to work based on departmental, team and individual needs, for autonomy and comfort. The cafeteria, gym and sleeping pods turn the workplace into a multi-functional destination, helping it to attract and retain talent in the competitive field of AI. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708834663298-P730K2YVG7366KA1AWXS/Kids2+Office-final-small-8.jpg Overview - Kids2 Office / M Moser Associates With an objective to make parenthood easier, “one tiny win at a time”, Kids2 has been inventing baby products for more than 50 years. Growing its China operations to attract world-class professionals in every department and engage with various partners within its ecosystem, Kids2 required a high-performance space to not only bring staff together but create an environment that fuels innovation, creativity and transfiguring ideas within its teams and with its partners. It was also important for Kids2 to create a space that cultivates its entire growing enterprise of entities that include a media company, multiple joint ventures and a venture capital arm. ————————————————————————————————————————— To create this hub – one of five across the globe - M Moser convened a team of workplace strategists, interior and brand designers, workplace technology experts, and wellness specialists, to achieve the ambitions of the space through a holistic approach. “Thanks to the brilliant team at M Moser, we’ve designed the space uniquely to our needs by embracing modernist principles like open plan, honest materials and simple volumes to build a design-driven environment. It is very conducive to our employees to encourage creativity and collaboration while showcasing our products and content for our partners and customers. ” David Butler Chief Growth Officer Kids2 Project highlights Honouring core brand values in a design-driven workplace Evoking emotional connections through a culturally-influenced journey and brand accessories that inspire fond childhood memories Nurturing meaningful visitor engagement through digital touchpoints discreetly embedded throughout the space Delivering a healthy, WELL-targeted environment to support Kids2’s commitment to sustainable growth —————————————————————————————————————————— Translating key values into design details The design concept was inspired by Kids2’s emphasis on ingenuity and its community-centric approach to create a playful and interactive environment. Bold colours sit in juxtaposition to calming and cosy neutral backgrounds, tailored furniture, careful design details and curated brand accessories. Printing, storage and mailroom spaces have been planned along a red “ribbon” core. The design discreetly conceals these areas with key brand elements. This intuitive wayfinding creates distinct signals to users, without sacrificing the design intent. This approach combined with the bold use of signature colour, premium materials and tailored detailing serve as an authentic nod to Kids2’s aspiration to be a design-driven company, transforming parenthood through carefully developed, holistic solutions. Elements from traditional Chinese games including Jianzi, Tuoluo and Kongzhu, have been translated into creative signage and installations. These graphics connect the brand’s international legacy with its commitment to local consumers. Playfulness in every encounter Guided by a “Playground” concept, the workplace features a series of artworks inspired by local scenery, known as “Joy in the Lane”. Showcasing the brand’s products in Shanghainese Shikumen lanes, these visual elements trigger fond memories for local visitors and create an emotional connection to the brand. Customised carpet at the front of house features a map of Shanghai, emphasising its central, premium location in the financial district. Unique, lantern-shaped lighting pays homage to Chinese culture. Other culturally influenced items to engage and delight include knot pillows, sponge holders and small food baskets. To reinforce branding and humanise the workplace experience, the team curated a series of accessories such as water bottles, cups and felt coasters. Manifesting Kids2’s innovative spirit, the reconfigurable work areas feature multiple flexible, modular set-ups to support different creative activities. A carousel showcase stage in the product showroom takes visitors on an interactive journey to experience a series of products ranging from entertainers, swings to toys and play mats. Flexible lighting, hangers and graphics support the display of a variety of products in a versatile environment. An immersive digital journey Digital storytelling was a critical component. Kids2 wanted to create a seamless experience for developing engaging digital content. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted in a lounge area featuring biophilic elements. This sets a bold sustainability statement against a backdrop of the spectacular Shanghai skyline. As the journey unfolds, visitors can capture a selfie that is organically embedded on the “face mosaic” LED screen. This celebrates each unique visit and the organisation’s philosophy of “tiny wins.” The digital experience area features four projection set-ups and acoustic facilities for a seamless, immersive experience. Supporting AR integration, it takes visitors on an interactive journey to explore brand stories, the latest product prototypes and other digital content. Activating engaging learning sessions and addressing space limitations, the showroom is equipped with iPad displays for easy digital access to Kids2’s brand portfolios: Baby Einstein, Ingenuity, and Bright Starts. Hand in hand with Kids2 stakeholders, M Moser’s multi-disciplinary team delivered a WELL-targeted, high-performance workplace. This culturally resonant space champions brand story and business ambition while strengthening connection with customers and partners in China. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708576763606-TICOKOEMVJYAR5IB8MBN/Daxiang+Shan+She-final-small-19.jpg Overview - Da Xiang Shan She / SCDA Da Xiang Shan She residential complex is adjacent to Dayangshan National Forest Park in Suzhou, a famous historical city in China. Designed by SCDA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708878896039-70YZHBFEXRMLSA7RUNZJ/M-Cube-final-small-16.jpg Overview - M-Cube / MVRDV The Beijing KWG·M·CUBE, a 40,000-square-metre shopping centre designed by MVRDV, has completed construction in Beijing. Asked by the client to make the building a visual statement, MVRDV created a multifaceted volume that responds to its surroundings with a pearlescent ceramic façade, which shimmers in a spectrum of colours under changing light conditions.

 Located just within Beijing’s innermost ring road, the KWG·M·CUBE is prominently located next to the Beijing Railway Station and near to both the Temple of Heaven to the Southwest, and Tiananmen and the Forbidden City to the Northwest. Given this prime location and the consequent value of the land, the client wanted a building that would stand out from its mostly beige and grey neighbours, while also packing a large amount of space into a relatively small footprint. Contradicting this request were the desires of the city government, whose preference was for a building that would fit in with its muted surroundings on the busy street.

 MVRDV was commissioned to design the building’s exterior and responded to these competing hopes with a 7-storey volume that rises to the maximum allowed height of 36 metres—an unusually tall building for this kind of mall. The shape of the building was generated by cutting the volume at various angles to orient the façades to face key locations, such as the railway station and an intersection on the other side of the street, generating a shape that is both contextual and recognizable in its visual presence. It also allowed MVRDV to include open-air terraces on each level, which are symbolically oriented towards landmarks such as the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven—some visible from the building, others more distant—to root the building in its location.

 The building is wrapped in a pearlescent ceramic façade that at different times appears either grey or colourful, creating a subtle façade that does not need large LED screens to stand out and catch the attention of the passers-by. Hand-glazed in China, these tiles were made by applying three layers of glaze to the ceramic, and firing at a different temperature each time.

 “We designed the KWG·M·CUBE so that the building continuously displays new patterns and colours. Depending on the weather and light conditions and where you stand, the façade might look subtly grey, or it might shine with all the colours of the rainbow,” says Jacob van Rijs, principal and co-founder of MVRDV. “In this part of Beijing, there are restrictions on architecture and many nearby buildings are completed in shades of grey and beige. Our solution allowed us to do exactly what the client and the city wanted: to create an attractive visual statement in which exuberance and modesty go hand in hand.”

 The surface treatment of the façade also breaks up the mass of the building while responding to the light and view requirements of the interior program. While some areas of the surface were required to have blind facades to accommodate the stores behind, other stores are able to use diffuse light to their advantage, and here the ceramic tiles are used in a checkerboard pattern. In other places such as lobbies and cafes, fully glazed facades provide a visual connection between the inside of the shopping centre and the mall.

 To accommodate the building’s 7-storey height, MVRDV proposed to split the KWG·M·CUBE shopping centre into two layers: on the lower 3 floors is the daytime shopping centre, which mostly hosts retail stores, while the upper levels feature more restaurants, bars, and cafés, and will truly come alive at night. In order to allow the upper floors to function while the lower floors are closed, an express elevator from the ground level takes visitors up to a second lobby on the fourth floor. To complete this layering effect, a landscaped roof terrace allows visitors to relax outside when the weather is pleasant.

Brewin created an arresting feature installation in the central core of each of the five lobbies with a series of six-meter tall ‘wall-peels’, created by stacking solid bands of bullnose-edged travertine marble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708524485353-Q9V7XUFF5T1M49NY5X27/Raffles+City+Hangzhou-final-small-12.jpg Overview - Raffles City Hangzhou / UNStudio Raffles City is a sustainable urban hub for living, working and leisure located in Hangzhou, one of China's most picturesque cities. Situated 180 kilometres south-west of Shanghai, Hangzhou is one of China's most prosperous cities, especially renowned for its scenic landscapes. Located in Qianjiang New Town near the Qiantang River, this mixed-use development becomes a major landmark along the green axis of the city's new CBD. A rich mix of 24/7 functions occupies almost 400,000m2 within two stremlined towers set atop a podium and landscaped plaza. The architectural expressions throughout the building connect the combined programmes in one seamless flow. The 116,000m2 retail podium at the base of the tower begins this interconnected flow, organised as two diagonal and intersecting figure-of-eights. It accommodates retail, restaurants, leisure facilities and parking and has a direct underground connection to the metro. This wide range of mixed-use functions, not only provides residents and those working or staying in the complex with a healthy and socially integrated environment, it also ensures that programmes are active around the clock, creating a safe and lively neighbourhood for all. In the design of the two towers, the urban face of the project twists towards the landscape, while the landscape aspect, in turn, acknowledges the urban context. Through this, the urban context and the landscape of the city are consolidated in one gesture. The main entrance to the south of the corner site appears as a prominent gateway from the city park and civic centre, as it borders both the urban built-up context and green axis/city park that connects West Lake to the Qiantang River. Reflecting the movement in the river, the tower design features a wave-like motion. These concentric waves increase in their dynamism, starting calmly at the base and building up more vigorously along the vertical axis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708678593823-9PL0YTNTC5UC3VQLQBH3/Cucurucu-final-small-9.jpg Overview - CUCURUCU / TOMYU STUDIO Cucurucu is a drink and snack bar that focuses on drinks made from coconut water. Located in the space formerly housing Bloom on Tongren Road in the heart of Shanghai, it enjoys a view of the tower of the historic Jingan Exhibition Center.

What was once a bank warehouse steeped in the rich history of this vibrant city, is now a destination for art and culture: Fotografiska Shanghai. This new address is anything but your ordinary museum; it is a poetic immersion into the realm of visual narratives, woven through the lens of photography. Our approach to this historical building embodies both preservation and reinvention at its core. We pay homage to the building's industrial legacy while fostering a new narrative, one deeply rooted in visual art and storytelling. The integration of original brickwork, concrete beams, and industrial details in modern spaces forms a multi-layered environment, infusing authenticity, and intrigue. Beyond cultural significance, the project catalyzes neighborhood rejuvenation, transforming a dormant space into a dynamic cultural center. Circulation within the museum unfolds through two grand staircases, reminiscent of its industrial past. These staircases, subtly nodding to the origin of photography, reinforce the building's spine. Custom-designed vertical lights along the walls guide visitors through the exhibits, not only serving as navigational elements but also creating a dynamic light experience through movement leading guests from one display to another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1721962441754-OT5P4AV5ZCRIOYOCZTZR/Fotografiska-final-%C2%A9Seth+Powers-small-15.jpg Fotografiska Shanghai - Fotografiska Shanghai / AIM Architecture Nestled along the captivating Suzhou Creek in Shanghai, a transformation took place.

An Inspired Design Strategy The first-floor layout, inspired by Shanghai's diverse layers, embraces openness and fluidity. Various functions coalesce, offering a sequence of moments organized to facilitate human interaction. The restaurant, bar, retail space, and the ice cream shop blend old and new features, crafting a unique experience that merges historical richness with a contemporary twist. Journey through Light and Color Navigating the Museum Circulation within the museum unfolds through two grand staircases, reminiscent of its industrial past. These staircases, subtly nodding to the origin of photography, reinforce the building's spine. Custom-designed vertical lights along the walls guide visitors through the exhibits, not only serving as navigational elements but also creating a dynamic light experience through movement leading guests from one display to another. A journey through a series of rooms, each enveloped in Fotografiska's curated colors, unfolds. Despite the absence of natural light, deliberate ceiling spots accentuate photographs on the walls, creating an immersive experience where visual narratives come to life in a play of light and shadow. Concrete walls, preserving the building's industrial authenticity, pay homage to its heritage. Transition spaces between exhibition areas serve as moments to reconnect with the building. Minimal interventions focus on essentials, preserving the industrial authenticity of the original building. Merging Tradition with Future Vision The top floor presents a futuristic vision of the traditional garden room, merging indoor and outdoor spaces.

Retro charm, embodied in green and yellow tones and textures, big flower sitting islands and a bed of sunken seating, transports visitors through time, blending nostalgia with modern elegance. Cultural Hub Beyond Exhibitions Fotografiska Shanghai is not just a museum, it’s a cultural hub. Beyond exhibitions, it will host workshops, lectures, and events, fostering a community of artists, enthusiasts, and curious minds who share a passion of photography. http://www.sethpowersphotography.com/yada-xishan-hotel-yixing daily 0.75 2025-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1726105443013-J8JANQRYMFNCI3V7VZ28/Yada+Xishan-final-small-2.jpg Yada Xishan Hotel Yixing - Yada Xishan Hotel Yixing / In-between Architects A Retreat into Nature Located at the ecological park of Yixing Provence of China, the new Unbounded Collection of Hyatt Group is a retreat into nature. In-between architects designed the 99 rooms using the idea of a mountain teahouse as a metaphor. “The ceremony was an improvised drama whose plot was woven about the tea, the flowers, and the paintings. Not a color to disturb the tone of the room, not a sound to mar the rhythm of things, not a gesture to obtrude on the harmony, not a word to break the unity of the surroundings, all movements to be performed simply and naturally--such were the aims of the tea-ceremony." The Book of Tea, by Kakuzo Okakura The connection to nature is the core of our design concept. Full frontage of the window plane is achieved to allow maximum daylight as well as visual connection to the two exterior courtyards, both north and south. The materials palette is grounded in nature, including oak, natural stone, local ceramic times, and lime plaster. Signature craft touches are reflected on the hammered stone wall at the entrance foyer and some of the wood plank wall panels. The natural palette continues into the bedroom and toilet, highlighted by the onsen built-in bathtub. The grand suite share a similar atmosphere and aesthetic to the guest rooms, and come with additional kitchen facilities, private semi-open air onsen baths, and of course, breathtaking mountain views. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/66e23b823a3c9e30e2a6418a/66e23bbb2505a17d5b4eebcd/1726102471742/ Yada Xishan Hotel Yixing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1726105443013-J8JANQRYMFNCI3V7VZ28/Yada+Xishan-final-small-2.jpg Yada Xishan Hotel Yixing - Yada Xishan Hotel Yixing / In-between Architects A Retreat into Nature Located at the ecological park of Yixing Provence of China, the new Unbounded Collection of Hyatt Group is a retreat into nature.

Traditional courtyard houses are nestled along waterways, with graceful stone moon bridges arching over the canals. WATG’s Architecture and Wimberly Interiors studios have thoughtfully crafted an integrated design where stories of culture and history come to life in every corner. Guests are invited to experience Hotel Wuxi in a journey through time. The formality of traditional Jiangnan architecture is expressed in the layered spaces, internal courtyards, and north-south orientation while the scale, form and materiality are all informed by the surrounding ancient town, interpreted for modern luxury. Water is celebrated as a connector and woven throughout the storytelling. A central water feature with a large opening above, a pure and circular form which symbolizes harmony and unity, welcomes at the arrival courtyard and draws guest into the tranquil environment. A tribute to the great scholar, The Living Room, the resort’s lobby and lounge is designed like a traditional library and a house of wisdom. The interior design takes cues from Hua’s poetry, with each poem’s key themes translated into design elements that define the character of the respective spaces. The furniture design within the hotel represents a harmonious blend of modernity and tradition. Hotel Wuxi is a gateway to a world of cultural richness and historical depth. Offering an authentic, hyper-localized experience with a deep sense of community that invites guests on an inward journey, leaving a lasting impression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1753945260638-HV3B42Y1URVUJ9Y4LHTD/MGallery+Wuxi-%C2%A9Seth+Powers-final-small-18.jpg MGallery Wuxi - MGallery Wuxi / WATG · Wimberly Interiors Located in the serene and historic heart of Dangkou Ancient Town, Hotel Wuxi is a prestigious addition to Accor’s MGallery Collection of boutique hotels.

An urban-scale development creates civic value Lujiazui Capital Plaza is located near the endpoint of Century Avenue, the main thoroughfare in Shanghai’s Pudong financial district. Seeking to connect the dense financial district to the north with Century Plaza to the south, a cultural district of parks and museums, SOM took an urbanistic approach to planning the development. With five buildings arranged around a network of plazas and public spaces, the site planning strategy reflects a deep attention to the public realm. The design invites pedestrians in, with routes that cross through the site to provide links between surrounding districts and to nearby transit stations. 178,000 square meters of office space are distributed across five buildings of varied heights and scales. The smaller building footprints create a unique offering within the Shanghai commercial office market, with the flexibility for tenants to lease spaces ranging from a single floor to an entire building. Open, column-free floor plans that allow for flexible office layouts or multi-suite configurations, while the building cores are offset to optimize views of Century Avenue and Century Park. Inspired by classical Chinese garden design, the landscaped plaza at the center of the development is both a ceremonial entrance to the development and a welcoming public gathering space. These thoughtfully shaded outdoor spaces offer a quality of civic space rarely found in new developments in Pudong. High-performance facade system The five buildings are unified, aesthetically, by a distinctive facade system. Taking inspiration from traditional masonry and wood screen structures, the facade design is a deep, three-dimensional lattice that shades the building interiors from the sun while allowing for daylight and views. Composed of a series of staggered, tapered fins and projecting spandrel covers, the steel-and-glass facade expresses a strong, powerful geometry. Calibrated to the site and climate, the lattice is oriented to protect from solar heat gain throughout the day. As a result, no blinds or window treatments are needed—and the buildings’ cooling needs are reduced by up to 33 percent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1759128935106-W0W10DGV709SZ3T0FFO1/Liujizaui+Capital+Plaza-%C2%A9Seth+Powers-final-small-4.jpg Lujiazui Capital Plaza - Lujiazui Capital Plaza / SOM Comprising five towers connected by walkable plazas and public spaces, this major commercial development is unusual for its multi-building, human-scaled approach—a contrast to the typical Shanghai superblock.

As a result, no blinds or window treatments are needed—and the buildings’ cooling needs are reduced by up to 33 percent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1759130603906-POIZFXFYCFXYX7XH49JP/Liujizaui+Capital+Plaza-%C2%A9Seth+Powers-final-small-16.jpg Lujiazui Capital Plaza - Lujiazui Capital Plaza / SOM Comprising five towers connected by walkable plazas and public spaces, this major commercial development is unusual for its multi-building, human-scaled approach—a contrast to the typical Shanghai superblock. An urban-scale development creates civic value Lujiazui Capital Plaza is located near the endpoint of Century Avenue, the main thoroughfare in Shanghai’s Pudong financial district. Seeking to connect the dense financial district to the north with Century Plaza to the south, a cultural district of parks and museums, SOM took an urbanistic approach to planning the development. With five buildings arranged around a network of plazas and public spaces, the site planning strategy reflects a deep attention to the public realm. The design invites pedestrians in, with routes that cross through the site to provide links between surrounding districts and to nearby transit stations. 178,000 square meters of office space are distributed across five buildings of varied heights and scales. The smaller building footprints create a unique offering within the Shanghai commercial office market, with the flexibility for tenants to lease spaces ranging from a single floor to an entire building. Open, column-free floor plans that allow for flexible office layouts or multi-suite configurations, while the building cores are offset to optimize views of Century Avenue and Century Park. Inspired by classical Chinese garden design, the landscaped plaza at the center of the development is both a ceremonial entrance to the development and a welcoming public gathering space. These thoughtfully shaded outdoor spaces offer a quality of civic space rarely found in new developments in Pudong. High-performance facade system The five buildings are unified, aesthetically, by a distinctive facade system. Taking inspiration from traditional masonry and wood screen structures, the facade design is a deep, three-dimensional lattice that shades the building interiors from the sun while allowing for daylight and views.

As a result, no blinds or window treatments are needed—and the buildings’ cooling needs are reduced by up to 33 percent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1759152549256-71UC0ZF0ZKEC5ET03Z80/Liujizaui+Capital+Plaza-%C2%A9Seth+Powers-final-small-15.jpg Lujiazui Capital Plaza - Lujiazui Capital Plaza / SOM Comprising five towers connected by walkable plazas and public spaces, this major commercial development is unusual for its multi-building, human-scaled approach—a contrast to the typical Shanghai superblock. An urban-scale development creates civic value Lujiazui Capital Plaza is located near the endpoint of Century Avenue, the main thoroughfare in Shanghai’s Pudong financial district. Seeking to connect the dense financial district to the north with Century Plaza to the south, a cultural district of parks and museums, SOM took an urbanistic approach to planning the development. With five buildings arranged around a network of plazas and public spaces, the site planning strategy reflects a deep attention to the public realm. The design invites pedestrians in, with routes that cross through the site to provide links between surrounding districts and to nearby transit stations. 178,000 square meters of office space are distributed across five buildings of varied heights and scales. The smaller building footprints create a unique offering within the Shanghai commercial office market, with the flexibility for tenants to lease spaces ranging from a single floor to an entire building. Open, column-free floor plans that allow for flexible office layouts or multi-suite configurations, while the building cores are offset to optimize views of Century Avenue and Century Park. Inspired by classical Chinese garden design, the landscaped plaza at the center of the development is both a ceremonial entrance to the development and a welcoming public gathering space. These thoughtfully shaded outdoor spaces offer a quality of civic space rarely found in new developments in Pudong. High-performance facade system The five buildings are unified, aesthetically, by a distinctive facade system. Taking inspiration from traditional masonry and wood screen structures, the facade design is a deep, three-dimensional lattice that shades the building interiors from the sun while allowing for daylight and views.

In ‘Silhouettes’, renowned Swedish artist Mats Gustafson interpreted the Fall Winter 25 collection through large-scale watercolors that distilled each look to its purest form: shape, proportion, and texture. Presented alongside film from the Paris runway show, the works transformed precise garments into organic gestures, expressing the structure and ease that define TOTEME. Known for his elegant and minimal aesthetic that redefined the language of fashion illustration, Mats Gustafson rendered TOTEME’s sculptural silhouettes in essential line and tone.

AB Concept has crafted a sky-high sanctuary above Wenzhou in the 38th-floor residents’ clubhouse at Wenzhou Lucheng Plaza, a 7,000-square-metre social realm that channels the city’s millennia-old trading spirit into a contemporary luxury setting. Rising 389 metres at the confluence of old and new districts, the tower overlooks the Oujiang River’s “one river, two banks” urban landscape, a view that becomes a constant visual thread throughout the interior. Design director Kevin Chung and the AB Concept team root the project in Ou culture, fusing traditional crafts like Ou embroidery, Ou kiln ceramics, Ou sculpture and Wenzhou mother-of-pearl inlay with Western design codes. The double-height arrival lobby frames sweeping river vistas, where metallic lines and sculptural art pieces evoke a refined modern Chinese sensibility. Above, a three-dimensional camellia motif—an intangible cultural heritage of Wenzhou—blooms across a curved ceiling, its intricate stitching echoing the flowing stone patterns underfoot. The all-day restaurant “Jinge” features an eight-metre-high dome and a bespoke Ou-sculpted landscape wall, while the adjoining “Tide” bar centres on a shell-shaped counter in oxidised copper, shimmering like river ripples at sunset. Tucked behind, the “Jinyun” cigar lounge offers leather seating and climate-controlled wine storage for discreet business or social gatherings. Along the corridor, colourful Ou ceramics and luminous Wenzhou inlay set a ceremonious tone leading to six riverfront private dining suites. The signature “Jinyu” room, inspired by classical gardens, is ringed by sixteen stone columns forming an octagonal pavilion, crowned by layered glass chandeliers and walls etched with the contours of Yandang Mountain. The "Queen’s Room" mirror hall is defined by soft pink tones, with floor-to-ceiling glass facing the Ou River, drawing the interplay of daylight, nightfall and shimmering water into the space. A slender marble table accommodates art salons, afternoon tea gatherings or yoga meditation sessions, while mirrored surfaces and metallic details are enhanced under the lighting to heighten a sense of lavish drama—creating a private realm where female residents can momentarily step away from daily routines and claim a quiet moment to themselves. Together with the feminine “Queen’s Room” mirror hall and flexible smaller suites, the clubhouse becomes an airborne manor where Wenzhou’s artisanal heritage and contemporary urban glamour meet in the clouds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1774594853306-IFGMQ8T44SIW8W8IDVRL/Wenzhou+Legend-final-small-4.jpg Wenzhou Legend - Wenzhou Legend / AB Concept A members-only sky clubhouse by AB Concept crowns Wenzhou Lucheng Plaza, translating Ou embroidery, ceramics and inlay into a refined setting for dining, socialising and quiet escape above the city.

Tucked behind, the “Jinyun” cigar lounge offers leather seating and climate-controlled wine storage for discreet business or social gatherings. Along the corridor, colourful Ou ceramics and luminous Wenzhou inlay set a ceremonious tone leading to six riverfront private dining suites. The signature “Jinyu” room, inspired by classical gardens, is ringed by sixteen stone columns forming an octagonal pavilion, crowned by layered glass chandeliers and walls etched with the contours of Yandang Mountain. The "Queen’s Room" mirror hall is defined by soft pink tones, with floor-to-ceiling glass facing the Ou River, drawing the interplay of daylight, nightfall and shimmering water into the space. A slender marble table accommodates art salons, afternoon tea gatherings or yoga meditation sessions, while mirrored surfaces and metallic details are enhanced under the lighting to heighten a sense of lavish drama—creating a private realm where female residents can momentarily step away from daily routines and claim a quiet moment to themselves. Together with the feminine “Queen’s Room” mirror hall and flexible smaller suites, the clubhouse becomes an airborne manor where Wenzhou’s artisanal heritage and contemporary urban glamour meet in the clouds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1774595844892-S71ADE7SHXZUDPHQVYQT/Wenzhou+Legend-final-small-18.jpg Wenzhou Legend - Wenzhou Legend / AB Concept A members-only sky clubhouse by AB Concept crowns Wenzhou Lucheng Plaza, translating Ou embroidery, ceramics and inlay into a refined setting for dining, socialising and quiet escape above the city.

A slender marble table accommodates art salons, afternoon tea gatherings or yoga meditation sessions, while mirrored surfaces and metallic details are enhanced under the lighting to heighten a sense of lavish drama—creating a private realm where female residents can momentarily step away from daily routines and claim a quiet moment to themselves. Together with the feminine “Queen’s Room” mirror hall and flexible smaller suites, the clubhouse becomes an airborne manor where Wenzhou’s artisanal heritage and contemporary urban glamour meet in the clouds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1774595839649-QXXJNV97M452ADRXUA4E/Wenzhou+Legend-final-small-15.jpg Wenzhou Legend - Wenzhou Legend / AB Concept A members-only sky clubhouse by AB Concept crowns Wenzhou Lucheng Plaza, translating Ou embroidery, ceramics and inlay into a refined setting for dining, socialising and quiet escape above the city. AB Concept has crafted a sky-high sanctuary above Wenzhou in the 38th-floor residents’ clubhouse at Wenzhou Lucheng Plaza, a 7,000-square-metre social realm that channels the city’s millennia-old trading spirit into a contemporary luxury setting. Rising 389 metres at the confluence of old and new districts, the tower overlooks the Oujiang River’s “one river, two banks” urban landscape, a view that becomes a constant visual thread throughout the interior. Design director Kevin Chung and the AB Concept team root the project in Ou culture, fusing traditional crafts like Ou embroidery, Ou kiln ceramics, Ou sculpture and Wenzhou mother-of-pearl inlay with Western design codes. The double-height arrival lobby frames sweeping river vistas, where metallic lines and sculptural art pieces evoke a refined modern Chinese sensibility. Above, a three-dimensional camellia motif—an intangible cultural heritage of Wenzhou—blooms across a curved ceiling, its intricate stitching echoing the flowing stone patterns underfoot. The all-day restaurant “Jinge” features an eight-metre-high dome and a bespoke Ou-sculpted landscape wall, while the adjoining “Tide” bar centres on a shell-shaped counter in oxidised copper, shimmering like river ripples at sunset. Tucked behind, the “Jinyun” cigar lounge offers leather seating and climate-controlled wine storage for discreet business or social gatherings.

Financial City Emulating the Fushan Hill to the west and Laoshan Mountain to the east, Qingdao Financial City features a pair of iconic towers that create a new gateway for the city. Qingdao Financial City is located centrally in the Qingdao Laoshan District and is an international, mixed-use development at the core of the Jinjialing new financial area. A high-value, regional and cultural landmark, the project consists of Class-A office space and luxury five-star hotels. Qingdao Financial City provides an urban center that balances modernity with timelessness and reinforces strong internal and external connections to the city. The project links directly to a large plaza south of the site, which offers a key gathering place and provides a venue where the client and tenants can host gatherings and festivals. At 193-meters tall, each tower consists of five glass “jewel” boxes stacked vertically, symbolizing the prosperity of Jinjialing as a new financial center for the Northeast region of China. The glass boxes decrease in height as they ascend, forming a gradated, elegant silhouette. The shape of each box is chamfered at the corners to emphasize the prismatic nature. This design also reduces the wind loads on the tower, increasing their stability. Recessed mechanical floors sit between boxes, allowing for inconspicuous and efficient mechanical ventilation. At the base, a podium connects both towers through roof terraces, a grand ballroom, and dining spaces that sponsor an active mixed-use lifestyle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710488891441-ZFQ2CEPNA59TK00E3FXY/Pazhou+Star+River-final-small-7.jpg Architecture - Pazhou Star River Headquarters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708486252701-IM05DH6B01JYIR6JC9XK/WKU+Shoot+1-final-small-6.jpg Architecture - Ge Hekai Hall at Wenzhou-Kean University Designed by Moore Ruble Yudell (MRY), Ge Hekai is anchored by an 800-seat central forum at Wenzhou-Kean Univeristy. The building houses the university’s architecture, design, and computer science programs, is made to be occupied by students from around campus. The space features three stories of tiered seating overlooked by open balconies and an overhead bridge connecting the hall’s east and west wings. The Wenzhou-Kean campus, a 175-acre site surrounded by mountains about an hour south of Shanghai, was created through a master plan by Michael Graves’s office that placed the university’s architecture and design schools (both named for Graves himself) at its center. Eight oblong “bar” buildings, clad in Angola black granite, form the structure’s three-floor base, hosting community spaces and classrooms, flexible exhibition areas, a makerspace, a digital-media auditorium, and a lakeside café. Punched windows and deep inset ledges emphasize the three-foot thickness of the walls while also providing interior shading and hiding mechanicals and ductwork. The bars are capped by two striking, daylit studio loft buildings, which form the fourth and fifth floors and offer more traditional architectural design studio spaces. These are fronted with ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) sunshades. As the hall welcomes students from near and far, and from different disciplines across campus, it is on its way to achieving its potential as a campus gathering place and an incubator for the future. “This is a place for architecture, urban and industrial design, and computer science; by the time you put all those things together, you’re talking about the future fabric of society,” says Ruble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708582398645-TZ9UXHXW9G4ON0QRWAX8/SZ+Rural+Commercial+Bank+HQ-final-small-1+copy.jpg Architecture - Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank HQ This new 150-meter-tall, mixed-use tower in Bao’an, Shenzhen, will be a world-class benchmark for sustainable design that uses naturally ventilated atria and a column-free external structure. Vertical atria stretching the full height of the tower's east and west facades will provide ventilation and natural air circulation, improving the building's mechanical performance. Adjacent to a public park, and only three blocks from the sea, the tower will offer inhabitants spectacular views at every floor via the tall atria. The structure will be an external steel diagrid, a symbol of SOM’s rich tradition of integrating architectural design and structural engineering. The diagrid will be pulled away from the facade, enabling flexible and column-free interior office space. It also will provide solar shading. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1758847141371-LOF65BWB98AOIU6SGVE5/Liujizaui+Capital+Plaza-%C2%A9Seth+Powers-final-small-4.jpg Architecture - Lujiazui Capital Plaza Comprising five towers connected by walkable plazas and public spaces, this major commercial development is unusual for its multi-building, human-scaled approach—a contrast to the typical Shanghai superblock. An urban-scale development creates civic value Lujiazui Capital Plaza is located near the endpoint of Century Avenue, the main thoroughfare in Shanghai’s Pudong financial district. Seeking to connect the dense financial district to the north with Century Plaza to the south, a cultural district of parks and museums, SOM took an urbanistic approach to planning the development. With five buildings arranged around a network of plazas and public spaces, the site planning strategy reflects a deep attention to the public realm. The design invites pedestrians in, with routes that cross through the site to provide links between surrounding districts and to nearby transit stations. 178,000 square meters of office space are distributed across five buildings of varied heights and scales. The smaller building footprints create a unique offering within the Shanghai commercial office market, with the flexibility for tenants to lease spaces ranging from a single floor to an entire building. Open, column-free floor plans that allow for flexible office layouts or multi-suite configurations, while the building cores are offset to optimize views of Century Avenue and Century Park. Inspired by classical Chinese garden design, the landscaped plaza at the center of the development is both a ceremonial entrance to the development and a welcoming public gathering space. These thoughtfully shaded outdoor spaces offer a quality of civic space rarely found in new developments in Pudong. High-performance facade system The five buildings are unified, aesthetically, by a distinctive facade system. Taking inspiration from traditional masonry and wood screen structures, the facade design is a deep, three-dimensional lattice that shades the building interiors from the sun while allowing for daylight and views. Composed of a series of staggered, tapered fins and projecting spandrel covers, the steel-and-glass facade expresses a strong, powerful geometry. Calibrated to the site and climate, the lattice is oriented to protect from solar heat gain throughout the day. As a result, no blinds or window treatments are needed—and the buildings’ cooling needs are reduced by up to 33 percent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1685463403668-4VE5FKK6ORP9S70KPSBL/Ningbo+Guohua+Financial+Center-final-small-1.jpg Architecture - Ningbo Guohua Financial Tower Guohua Financial Tower, a 45-story office high-rise and adjacent four-story mixed-use podium, is set to rise in Ningbo, China. As a model of simplicity, sustainability, and urban connectivity, the complex propels the evolution of a dynamic central business district in the port city. Situated along a prominent east-west boulevard in East New Town, the site’s new public spaces are organized to draw tenants and visitors from all directions. A plaza features highly visible public art, and the low-rise building’s primary functional spaces are lifted to create an inviting open-air courtyard whose light-filled terraces, waterfalls, and serene reflecting pool demand attention. A spacious glass atrium directly connects the retail court to the office tower’s lobby, which enjoys an equally strong and welcoming 360-degree presence. Guohua Financial Tower’s skyscraper is highly efficient in plan and execution. A visible steel-and-concrete diagrid creates a memorable diamond pattern for the facade; it also reduces structural stress on the building’s core, enabling it to occupy less space at the middle and upper floors and allowing office plans to be open and flexible throughout. Underscoring the entire project’s commitment to sustainable workspace, the tower contains two multistory sky gardens. Here, natural and mechanical systems interact in an innovative fashion, as living walls provide natural filtration for the air circulating throughout the building. These vegetated surfaces also figure into a circuit that filters rainwater for irrigating landscaping and replenishing the plaza’s reflecting pool. The high-performance design of Guohua Financial Tower targets both LEED® Gold and China’s Three Star certifications. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708486160197-ATOAU4FKIMTP44W0E6AN/Tianjin+CTF+Finance+Center-SOM-final-small-1.jpg Architecture - Tianjin CTF Finance Center The Tianjin CTF Finance Centre is located in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA), an outer district of Tianjin, China. The design uses undulating curves to subtly express three programmatic elements while presenting a bold monolithic expression on the skyline. The 530-meter-tall skyscraper will house office space, luxury serviced apartments, and a hotel. By stacking reducing floor plates, the tower tapers dramatically to minimize the surface area exposed to wind, sun, and moisture. The gently undulating curves of the façade subtly denote the integration of the three distinct programs within a singular smooth object. Square in plan with rounded corners, the floor plate geometry enables unique interior fit-outs and customization options for occupants. Research by the architect has shown that lateral forces due to vortex shedding can be controlled by tapering the vertical profile of the tower and softening any sharp corners in plan. The building’s aerodynamic shape greatly reduces this vortex shedding by “confusing the wind” and disrupting the opportunity for any resonating wind forces and loads on the structure. The softly curving glass skin integrates eight sloping megacolumns that follow a lyrical line connecting the centers and corners of all four elevations. These curving megacolumns increase the structure’s response to seismic concerns and are integral to both the gravity and lateral systems. They are effective in increasing the stiffness of the building’s perimeter frame, consequently attracting a larger portion of the seismic forces in compliance with the Chinese code requirements. The façade reinforces the curvature of the tower form and creates a shimmering texture over the building’s surface. The crystalline-like curtain wall stretches from the suspended glass canopies at each of the lobbies to the dematerialized, megacolumn-looped crown and presents a bold expression of a comprehensive, integrated design on the Tianjin skyline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708486292654-JCX9SO4WOUIAJ5PW80G5/Lingang+Phase+2%2B3-final-small-1.jpg Architecture - Lingang Sci-Tech City Innovation Cube Positioned on reclaimed land and next to a major global shipping route, the highly connected Lingang Sci-Tech City is the first of its kind in Shanghai’s Lingang Special Area. It showcases the innovative vision of Shanghai Lingang Technology & Innovation City Economic Development Company. The 78896.7-square-meter multi-tenant R&D community features a winding loop that connects the six buildings on the innovation campus, creating a greenery-filled space that stimulates synergy and sharing. Two types of core positions are applied to accommodate the needs of diverse tenants. The modern glassy curtains walls of the buildings are decorated with poetic wave-pattern fins — an architectural characteristic echoing the community’s seaside location. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708516051106-6ZG8E5HDZETG1AWLKS5X/Prince+Plaza-final-small-5.jpg Architecture - Prince Plaza Shekou is defined by a mixed landscape. Mountains and sea, an industrial fabric from the early economic reform era, and recent skyscrapers form a dynamic context. Prince Plaza is located in Shekou’s Sea World district—a unique coastal zone in Shenzhen backed by the Nanshan Mountains and facing the Shenzhen Bay, abundant in public outdoor spaces. The 200-metre mixed-use podium tower at once connects with Shekou’s latest commercial developments, its industrial past, and its everlasting natural environment. The site falls on Shekou’s most prominent view corridor that runs from the mountains to the sea. Prince Plaza takes full advantage of the view corridor without obstructing it. The tower is an ensemble of four bars attached to a central core. Three sky decks—highlighted by a hexagon-patterned facade inspired by hills and waves—are viewing platforms open to vistas of the mountains and the sea. Designed for use by both tenants and public, they add to the collection of the public outdoor spaces in the coastal Sea World district. The sky decks break down the otherwise monolithic 60,000 m2 tower into four bars of different sizes that respond to architecture of distinctive scales in the surroundings. The two bars on one side are slightly set back to increase the perimeter or each floor plate, allowing more natural light into the office space. The tower’s fluted façade, with extra wide glass panels, enable office tenants to visually connect with the mountains and the sea, while further bringing lightness to the slender vertical bars. A 40,000 m2 podium mall occupies the full length of the orthogonal site to maximise street level retail frontage. Different than typical enclosed shopping malls, Prince Plaza’s podium mall has a porous façade and a roof terrace— an extension of the existing commercial and recreational offerings of the Sea World district. A prominent opening— marked by a similar façade as the sky decks—is created at the location through which the view corridor runs. Underground levels of the mall are integrated with two metro lines that connect Prince Plaza to the rest of Shenzhen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708492666719-JZQA9AHYOHBSIO04IMNC/Pazhou+Poly-final-small-32.jpg Architecture - Poly Skyline Plaza Poly Skyline Plaza is a mixed-use complex that embraces the spirit of its place in Pazhou, an emerging commercial district in Guangzhou. At this significant site along the Pearl River, the design responds to the region's challenging climate and to the commercial demands of its office, hotel, and residential components. Two towers are distinguished by their aerodynamic forms, an interplay of convex and concave curves oriented to maximize views and improve wind performance.
 
The 63-story office tower is configured as a highly efficient workplace with spectacular views of the river and countryside. The 39-story hotel and residential tower follows a similar massing strategy with a smaller floor plate. The fluid exterior form and expression contrasts with the adjacent green countryside, while evoking the flowing Pearl River. Linked by a podium that contains hotel amenities, the pair of towers creates a landmark for the district. 

 The basic geometry of the office tower is a tapered, rounded square plan, with convex facades at the east and the west and subtle concave facades at the north and south. Sculptural apertures at the top of each tower are designed to further reduce wind forces, accommodate wind turbines, and provide dramatic indoor and outdoor meeting and lounge spaces. The six-story podium includes a hotel function room and restaurants with riverfront and garden views, as well as a pool enclosed by an undulating, clerestory-lit roof.

 A transparent facade visually connects the elegant lobby, reception, and lounge areas with the lush landscaped grounds. The curtain wall consists of clear, low-e coated insulated glazing with minimal frames. Cut into this smooth facade are continuous horizontal slots to create a natural ventilation cavity. By extending the exterior wall glass below the stack joint and recessing the spandrel panel, this cavity allows air to flow into the interior space via a ventilator located above the finish floor. The extended panel also shields the cavity from water infiltration during high wind seasons.

 On the east and west facades, perforated metal sunshades provide solar protection and reflect light onto the interior ceilings. The high-efficiency HVAC system features full economizer capacity. This integrated mechanical and exterior envelope design improves indoor comfort, while reducing the tower’s energy consumption by an estimated four percent compared to the ASHRAE 90.1.2007 baseline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708492866491-H4O9A2QCTN9QFCD39V73/Shen+Ye+Upperhills-final-small-14.jpg Architecture - Shen Ye Upperhills Mixed-Use Development A new destination located just north of Shenzhen’s main central business district, this mixed-use development features two landmark towers, a ballroom pavilion, and a large elevated pedestrian park that connects the hills of the city’s two major parks: Lotus Hill Park to the southwest and Beacon Hill Park to the northeast. An enlivened podium provides a variety of retail experiences, including a large indoor mall and a small-scale shopping village. Designed with an emphasis on elegance and simplicity, the towers are a timeless addition to the Shenzhen skyline. In order to provide world-class office spaces, the design incorporates flexible floor plates, highly efficient systems, and unobstructed city views—all features that greatly enhance the user experience. SOM’s architecture and engineering teams collaborated on the design of both signature towers as well as the ballroom pavilion. The taller tower, rising 80 stories and 389 meters, contains office space in the lower floors and a luxury hotel at the top. It is supported by a central core and eight megacolumns at the perimeter, a structural solution which minimizes obstructions and opens up panoramic views. These qualities are further enhanced by the curtain wall design, which incorporates oversized glass on a 3-meter module throughout. The second tower, entirely dedicated to offices, features the same 3-meter curtain wall grid. The ballroom pavilion features a unique outdoor public terrace that connects to the elevated public green. This 12.5-meter high open-air space frames views of Beacon Hill Park, which lies directly to the east of the pavilion. Two large ballrooms above this terrace offer panoramic views to both the east and west, and restaurants are located on the upper floor. The faceted design of the Pavilion resulted from a structural concept—the folded enclosure to the north, south, and on the roof provides a structural depth which enables the long spans for the ballroom spaces. SOM also designed the two bridges that connect the site to the parks, which feature a meandering pathway to provide a varied experience along their length. The east bridge descends from the elevated green at a gentle slope, zig-zags across Huanggang Road to the east, and lands amid the tree-filled Beacon Hill Park. The west bridge, with its long spans across Caitian Road, is designed to provide a more protected pedestrian experience. The main pedestrian pathway weaves between successive garden spaces, while the depth of the bridge varies in correspondence with the long spans between columns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709658476273-2X25KZMJJ4MNO9IBAOIW/Yangpu+Block+40-final-small-8.jpg Architecture - Shandong Gold Poly Financial Plaza Located alongside Huangpu River in Yangpu District in Shanghai, Shandong Gold Poly Plaza was designed by leading architecture firm SOM. Consisting of four buildings of differing heights, the project covers more than 100,000 square meters. An exterior bridge connects 3 of the towers and faces the Huangpu river just to the south. Architects pushed back the first floor of each building by 4 meters in order to lower density, creating a more spacious campus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708682381120-U0T6PC7X1KDWL7LPOPUX/Daxiang+Shan+She-final-small-21.jpg Architecture - Da Xiang Shan She Da Xiang Shan She residential complex is adjacent to Dayangshan National Forest Park in Suzhou, a famous historical city in China.

Brewin created an arresting feature installation in the central core of each of the five lobbies with a series of six-meter tall ‘wall-peels’, created by stacking solid bands of bullnose-edged travertine marble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708493031232-S5VW3F2GU5F8X6D2UEWL/COFCO+Plaza-final-small-1.jpg Architecture - COFCO Plaza Kokaistudios has completed the architectural and interior design renovation of COFCO Plaza. Built in 1996, the building occupies one of the best locations in Beijing, along Jianguomen street at the cross with Chang’an Avenue, 1km away from the Forbidden City.

Two V-shaped fourteen storey office towers cut into the surrounding urban environment at a 45 degree angle. They are linked together by the central square shaped complex, creating a structure with sharp corners and a strong sense of geometry.

The re-development focused on "innovation through renovation", a concept that has guided many of Kokaistudios' previous work. The firm strived to enrich the urban fabric by re-purposing and re-examining the potential of existing buildings. The architects worked closely with COFCO to understand the brand in order to translate the culture into a spatial experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708682166988-MQ2HWCEBYNMCFRS7BKEJ/M-Cube-final-small-14.jpg Architecture - M·Cube The Beijing KWG·M·CUBE, a 40,000-square-metre shopping centre designed by MVRDV, has completed construction in Beijing. Asked by the client to make the building a visual statement, MVRDV created a multifaceted volume that responds to its surroundings with a pearlescent ceramic façade, which shimmers in a spectrum of colours under changing light conditions.

 Located just within Beijing’s innermost ring road, the KWG·M·CUBE is prominently located next to the Beijing Railway Station and near to both the Temple of Heaven to the Southwest, and Tiananmen and the Forbidden City to the Northwest. Given this prime location and the consequent value of the land, the client wanted a building that would stand out from its mostly beige and grey neighbours, while also packing a large amount of space into a relatively small footprint. Contradicting this request were the desires of the city government, whose preference was for a building that would fit in with its muted surroundings on the busy street.

 MVRDV was commissioned to design the building’s exterior and responded to these competing hopes with a 7-storey volume that rises to the maximum allowed height of 36 metres—an unusually tall building for this kind of mall. The shape of the building was generated by cutting the volume at various angles to orient the façades to face key locations, such as the railway station and an intersection on the other side of the street, generating a shape that is both contextual and recognizable in its visual presence. It also allowed MVRDV to include open-air terraces on each level, which are symbolically oriented towards landmarks such as the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven—some visible from the building, others more distant—to root the building in its location.

 The building is wrapped in a pearlescent ceramic façade that at different times appears either grey or colourful, creating a subtle façade that does not need large LED screens to stand out and catch the attention of the passers-by. Hand-glazed in China, these tiles were made by applying three layers of glaze to the ceramic, and firing at a different temperature each time.

 “We designed the KWG·M·CUBE so that the building continuously displays new patterns and colours. Depending on the weather and light conditions and where you stand, the façade might look subtly grey, or it might shine with all the colours of the rainbow,” says Jacob van Rijs, principal and co-founder of MVRDV. “In this part of Beijing, there are restrictions on architecture and many nearby buildings are completed in shades of grey and beige. Our solution allowed us to do exactly what the client and the city wanted: to create an attractive visual statement in which exuberance and modesty go hand in hand.”

 The surface treatment of the façade also breaks up the mass of the building while responding to the light and view requirements of the interior program. While some areas of the surface were required to have blind facades to accommodate the stores behind, other stores are able to use diffuse light to their advantage, and here the ceramic tiles are used in a checkerboard pattern. In other places such as lobbies and cafes, fully glazed facades provide a visual connection between the inside of the shopping centre and the mall.

 To accommodate the building’s 7-storey height, MVRDV proposed to split the KWG·M·CUBE shopping centre into two layers: on the lower 3 floors is the daytime shopping centre, which mostly hosts retail stores, while the upper levels feature more restaurants, bars, and cafés, and will truly come alive at night. In order to allow the upper floors to function while the lower floors are closed, an express elevator from the ground level takes visitors up to a second lobby on the fourth floor. To complete this layering effect, a landscaped roof terrace allows visitors to relax outside when the weather is pleasant.

The project adds a 200-meter office tower, several residential buildings, a five-star hotel, four restaurant pavilions and a three-level shopping complex to the site of an existing government center. The park at the project’s center will serve as the district’s principal green space, accessible from nearby residences, tourist beaches and beyond. The design highlights the view corridor from the sea to the forested summit of Wutong Mountain, while form and materials throughout Vanke One City play on the surrounding context. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708926200379-ZLPLPALQHUS9JCX0NSEB/North+Point+Building-final-small-23.jpg Architecture - 18 King Wah Road Located in North Point, the eastern district of Hong Kong Island, 18 King Wah Road is a new 23- story office building in Hong Kong and second commission for Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects. 18 King Wah Road commands a striking view of Victoria Harbor and Kowloon Bay, and to the west, PCPA’s iconic International Financial Centre marks the skyline.
 In contrast to the density of its urban neighbors, the design of PCPA’s building is airy and buoyant. The triple- height Y- shaped columns that support the base of the tower deliver an exciting visual on the street, announcing the building’s presence. While solid in breadth, they seem to lift the base effortlessly. Metal fins wrap around the crisp glass and steel curtain wall, creating a lively pattern the full height of the building’s compact vertical massing. Each office floor will have spectacular views of the waterfront, Victoria Harbor and Kowloon Bay.
 The project meets Gold Well Building Standards, Platinum Asia Regional Intelligent Green Building, and LEED Platinum. Key environmental concerns such as dense urban congestion and extreme afternoon temperatures are addressed. The curved corners of the building allow air to flow continuously throughout the tightly built- up neighborhood. High- performance metal sunshades wrap the exterior of each floor to minimize the effect of the intense solar rays from overheating the interior spaces. The shades are designed to function specifically to the sun’s orientation. On the north- west corner, they extend outwards and downward to mitigate the harsh afternoon sun. On the south- west corner, a second shade extends out to block the higher angled mid- day sun. Concurrently, this second feature acts as a light- shelf that directs daylight deeper into office interiors, significantly reducing the need for artificial lighting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708682430145-U716LWF1VO5XQ7W311IB/Raffles+City+Hangzhou-final-small-16.jpg Architecture - Raffles City Hangzhou Raffles City is a sustainable urban hub for living, working and leisure located in Hangzhou, one of China's most picturesque cities. Situated 180 kilometres south-west of Shanghai, Hangzhou is one of China's most prosperous cities, especially renowned for its scenic landscapes. Located in Qianjiang New Town near the Qiantang River, this mixed-use development becomes a major landmark along the green axis of the city's new CBD. A rich mix of 24/7 functions occupies almost 400,000m2 within two stremlined towers set atop a podium and landscaped plaza. 

The architectural expressions throughout the building connect the combined programmes in one seamless flow. The 116,000m2 retail podium at the base of the tower begins this interconnected flow, organised as two diagonal and intersecting figure-of-eights. It accommodates retail, restaurants, leisure facilities and parking and has a direct underground connection to the metro. This wide range of mixed-use functions, not only provides residents and those working or staying in the complex with a healthy and socially integrated environment, it also ensures that programmes are active around the clock, creating a safe and lively neighbourhood for all. 

In the design of the two towers, the urban face of the project twists towards the landscape, while the landscape aspect, in turn, acknowledges the urban context. Through this, the urban context and the landscape of the city are consolidated in one gesture. The main entrance to the south of the corner site appears as a prominent gateway from the city park and civic centre, as it borders both the urban built-up context and green axis/city park that connects West Lake to the Qiantang River. Reflecting the movement in the river, the tower design features a wave-like motion. These concentric waves increase in their dynamism, starting calmly at the base and building up more vigorously along the vertical axis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709658312087-LYJQHFQ1TKBO44MZG42R/Capella-final-small-10.jpg Architecture - Capella Jianyeli Originally built in the 1930s by French real estate company Foncière et Immobilière de Chine, the Jian Ye Li “shikumen” complex; located in the heart of the former French concession had evolved and been altered over the years but was essentially intact in its historical configuration and represented an incredible development opportunity. Originally these “shikumen” buildings were designed for middle class families in Shanghai and as they lacked modern plumbing facilities they were often seen as products with little value to preserve and were either demolished or just the “shell” was maintained and they were converted it into commercial use.

After extensive research and study, Kokaistudios developed an architectural renovation strategy that maintained the architectural features of the “shikumen” lane houses while tastefully altering the internal layout and transforming them into spaces suitable for modern luxurious living where each original lane house unit was transformed into one luxurious guest suite. Practicality is not a term that applies to this project as the shikumen architectural typology; characterized by their narrow and tall nature meaning that the minimum 110 sq.m suites are split over 2 floors via a step staircase with no elevator; does not lend itself naturally to conversion to hospitality use. However when the ultra-luxury Capella hotel brand entered into the project several years later minimal upgrades to the architecture of the buildings were required to meet their exacting standards and they created 55 luxury suites each occupying one of the lane-houses. Today the hotel occupies a unique position within Shanghai’s luxury hotel landscape and offer their guests a truly unique hospitality experience not available anywhere else in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709011979214-H3ZY27TSCOTEYU3XAHFW/UNStudio+Installation-final-small-14.jpg Architecture - Xintiandi Mirror Installation Designed by Dutch architecture firm UNStudio, this mirror lane installation conceptually explores the symbiotic relationship of cultural reflections that occur between the city's occupants and urban landscape. It frames the entrance of the Xintiandi Style Retail Mall and twists through the space in one long architectural gesture. http://www.sethpowersphotography.com/oceanspot-on-learning-from-china-feb-2021 daily 0.75 2022-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658286709971-ZEPOOL019NRY7BFTCTW8/Frame_2011_cover.jpeg Oceanspot on Learning from China | Feb 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658286701218-FNP5ZXR3X68MKI3E8B7J/Frame_2011_Oceanspot_1.JPG Oceanspot on Learning from China | Feb 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658286701287-4A5U76D1VXDKT3GCYM2S/Frame_2011_Oceanspot_2.JPG Oceanspot on Learning from China | Feb 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658286702197-1871SHDFZI47J23HQCJF/Frame_2011_Oceanspot_3.JPG Oceanspot on Learning from China | Feb 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658286702278-ZMC06RFQO17JXM9JFW6P/Frame_2011_Oceanspot_4.JPG Oceanspot on Learning from China | Feb 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658286713495-GKQ3A3ZZULG2V24MH5EY/Frame_2011_cover_back.png Oceanspot on Learning from China | Feb 2021 http://www.sethpowersphotography.com/runxi-residences-on-iac-oct-2021 daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658418605250-NS2DZCWAELLFO884I8PK/Interior+Architecture+of+China_202110_cover%26catalogue.jpg Runxi Residences on IAC | Oct 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658417595515-SQC9GHANZAMT7791F3DO/Interior+Architecture+of+China_202110_Runxi_page+1.jpg Runxi Residences on IAC | Oct 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658417596117-66B2Z2DD3ORZQKR811KM/Interior+Architecture+of+China_202110_Runxi_page+2.jpg Runxi Residences on IAC | Oct 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658417599385-W6Q46X58FM3DP4IG0CCO/Interior+Architecture+of+China_202110_Runxi_page+3.jpg Runxi Residences on IAC | Oct 2021 http://www.sethpowersphotography.com/runxi-residences-on-top-decoration-world-sep-oct-2021 daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658418990247-N40U006QJVFRCTLDUEZA/TOP%E8%A3%85%E6%BD%A2%E4%B8%96%E7%95%8C_Sep+2021_cover.jpg Runxi Residences on Top Decoration World | Sep Oct 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658418981208-RZD01ZW2PBIZAL8GXVHV/TOP%E8%A3%85%E6%BD%A2%E4%B8%96%E7%95%8C_Sep+2021_%E5%8D%8E%E6%B6%A6%E5%9F%8E%E6%B6%A6%E7%8E%BA%E6%A0%B7%E6%9D%BF%E9%97%B4_1.jpg Runxi Residences on Top Decoration World | Sep Oct 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658418982070-P9MHE3O2H3MEK9Q399OQ/TOP%E8%A3%85%E6%BD%A2%E4%B8%96%E7%95%8C_Sep+2021_%E5%8D%8E%E6%B6%A6%E5%9F%8E%E6%B6%A6%E7%8E%BA%E6%A0%B7%E6%9D%BF%E9%97%B4_2.jpg Runxi Residences on Top Decoration World | Sep Oct 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1658418983369-NC73PY1UYRJ4DHOA6O0A/TOP%E8%A3%85%E6%BD%A2%E4%B8%96%E7%95%8C_Sep+2021_%E5%8D%8E%E6%B6%A6%E5%9F%8E%E6%B6%A6%E7%8E%BA%E6%A0%B7%E6%9D%BF%E9%97%B4_3.jpg Runxi Residences on Top Decoration World | Sep Oct 2021 http://www.sethpowersphotography.com/jw-marriott-qufu-on-hr-apr-2021 daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1665727493507-6FREN9PRW78NIXO64MHA/H%2BR+Hotel+%26+Resort_Issue+16_1_cover+%26+catalog.jpg JW Marriott Qufu on H+R | Apr 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1665727494757-GQMLMOYEHEJTF6FKBAGN/H%2BR+Hotel+%26+Resort_Issue+16_JW+Marriott+Qufu_1.jpg JW Marriott Qufu on H+R | Apr 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1665727497834-Q3PGQ7CLUIQ1KOQDJFMK/H%2BR+Hotel+%26+Resort_Issue+16_JW+Marriott+Qufu_2.jpg JW Marriott Qufu on H+R | Apr 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1665727501664-5AX7A6AI8UE200RJUNG0/H%2BR+Hotel+%26+Resort_Issue+16_JW+Marriott+Qufu_3.jpg JW Marriott Qufu on H+R | Apr 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1665727505617-AUGLVTDQP752AA0Y49V4/H%2BR+Hotel+%26+Resort_Issue+16_JW+Marriott+Qufu_4.jpg JW Marriott Qufu on H+R | Apr 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1665727507816-3MCJ5UNKZEQKHZKOMKC1/H%2BR+Hotel+%26+Resort_Issue+16_JW+Marriott+Qufu_5.jpg JW Marriott Qufu on H+R | Apr 2021 http://www.sethpowersphotography.com/commercial daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1764138600051-ATC3VFV7BSAJFQBZU7GX/Toteme+Tokyo+Standby-final-small-1-crop.jpg Commercial - TOTEME Tokyo StandBy TOTEME staged its first art exhibition in Japan at the iconic StandBy Gallery in Tokyo. In ‘Silhouettes’, renowned Swedish artist Mats Gustafson interpreted the Fall Winter 25 collection through large-scale watercolors that distilled each look to its purest form: shape, proportion, and texture. Presented alongside film from the Paris runway show, the works transformed precise garments into organic gestures, expressing the structure and ease that define TOTEME. Known for his elegant and minimal aesthetic that redefined the language of fashion illustration, Mats Gustafson rendered TOTEME’s sculptural silhouettes in essential line and tone. Taw cement surfaces served as both backdrop and counterpoint to the delicacy of the works, drawing attention to their material presence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1748225702608-DAANFSU2X39YA97UAXNX/Zara+Nanjing+Flagship-%C2%A9Seth+Powers-final-small-38.jpg Commercial - ZARA Nanjing ZARA Nanjing Xinjiekou Flagship Store represents a bold new flagship typology, one that is immersive, spatially dynamic, and deeply integrated into the city’s urban fabric.

What was once a bank warehouse steeped in the rich history of this vibrant city, is now a destination for art and culture: Fotografiska Shanghai. This new address is anything but your ordinary museum; it is a poetic immersion into the realm of visual narratives, woven through the lens of photography. Revitalizing Heritage: A Fusion of Preservation and Regeneration Preserving the Past, Reinventing the Future Our approach to this historical building embodies both preservation and reinvention at its core. We pay homage to the building's industrial legacy while fostering a new narrative, one deeply rooted in visual art and storytelling. The integration of original brickwork, concrete beams, and industrial details in modern spaces forms a multi-layered environment, infusing authenticity, and intrigue. Beyond cultural significance, the project catalyzes neighborhood rejuvenation, transforming a dormant space into a dynamic cultural center. An Inspired Design Strategy The first-floor layout, inspired by Shanghai's diverse layers, embraces openness and fluidity. Various functions coalesce, offering a sequence of moments organized to facilitate human interaction. The restaurant, bar, retail space, and the ice cream shop blend old and new features, crafting a unique experience that merges historical richness with a contemporary twist. Journey through Light and Color Navigating the Museum Circulation within the museum unfolds through two grand staircases, reminiscent of its industrial past. These staircases, subtly nodding to the origin of photography, reinforce the building's spine. Custom-designed vertical lights along the walls guide visitors through the exhibits, not only serving as navigational elements but also creating a dynamic light experience through movement leading guests from one display to another. A journey through a series of rooms, each enveloped in Fotografiska's curated colors, unfolds. Despite the absence of natural light, deliberate ceiling spots accentuate photographs on the walls, creating an immersive experience where visual narratives come to life in a play of light and shadow. Concrete walls, preserving the building's industrial authenticity, pay homage to its heritage. Transition spaces between exhibition areas serve as moments to reconnect with the building. Minimal interventions focus on essentials, preserving the industrial authenticity of the original building. Merging Tradition with Future Vision The top floor presents a futuristic vision of the traditional garden room, merging indoor and outdoor spaces. The area offers access to a vast terrace with panoramic views, featuring a bar, cozy lounge, exclusive VIP room, and a terrace. Retro charm, embodied in green and yellow tones and textures, big flower sitting islands and a bed of sunken seating, transports visitors through time, blending nostalgia with modern elegance. Cultural Hub Beyond Exhibitions Fotografiska Shanghai is not just a museum, it’s a cultural hub.

A hydraulic crane trolley lifting a colourful light box signals the store’s presence. Walls, flooring and ceiling in a soft grey hue form the backdrop for an assortment of furnishings, including large glass and steel cabinets, similar low cabinets with an orange frame, chunky wooden sofas with blue-striped upholstery, and a large oval table dipped in a striking purple hue. One side of the store is lined with large mirrors and pink stools. Lighting is highly functional, and sees three rows of tubular lights across the ceiling.

To foster dialogue between the brand and Chinese consumers, Hansgrohe commissioned Ippolito Fleitz Group to design its first innovation centre abroad, the 'Hansgrohe InnovationParc', in Shanghai. The Hansgrohe InnovationParc is housed in a three-storey industrial building on the west bank of Shanghai's Huangpu River, historically a manufacturing and trading area. The building was originally a shipyard; its architectural features, in particular its third floor with a chimney-shaped opening, inspired the redevelopment by Ippolito Fleitz Group, who created a space that transcends traditional boundaries. This new place is not just a showroom, an office or an event space, but a space open to all these functions, a space that can thus encourage open-mindedness and innovation. In designing the space, designer from Ippolito Fleitz Group were guided by the concept of fluidity, both because Hansgrohe's business has to do with water and because the company's success is centred on the user and the constant question of how the user would interact with its products in multiple scenarios. This has been translated into an architectural language by reconstructing the journey of water within the building. In Chinese thought, water symbolises intelligence, wisdom and softness. The first floor of the Hansgrohe space tells of water's constant adaptability, flexibility, agility as well as the adaptability of technology to consumer trends. This floor focuses on activation, emphasising the activities within the space rather than its static design. There are two entrances on opposite sides, with an innovation table in the middle, showing the path from idea to product and the latest research of the research and development team. The table is topped by wooden panels into which Laser Blade recessed fittings with General Lighting optics are inserted for even illumination of the entire surface. Further inside, near the opposite entrance, is a digital water forest that invites interaction, providing insights into the brand's history and ideas. The space is designed without a predefined path for the customer, encouraging exploration and discovery. The individual trees in the forest are lit from below by Underscore RGB lightlines that provide variable illumination in tones ranging from green to blue. The second floor is dedicated to product innovation and attention to detail. It houses the research and development department for prototyping, areas reminiscent of showers and a nimble office area, where meeting rooms are lit by Blade R that also house recessed Easy. In the lobby there is a cosy spa-like atmosphere: customers can enter areas reminiscent of egg-shaped showers and try out products, experimenting with different shower types. This intimate and immersive experience engages customers with water and creates lasting memories and affinities. In this area there are also many plants that are illuminated by Palco projectors installed on the shower structures, the light coming from below casts the shadows of the plants on the walls and ceiling, helping to emphasise the pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, while diffuse but non-invasive light is provided by ∅ 17 mm Laser recessed fixtures. The third floor shows the power and creativity of innovation. Here you will find versatile workspaces, a conference area that allows for different configurations, and a hybrid meeting space. This floor is designed to invite collaboration, encourage concentration, and foster innovation. It features a striking architectural element: a ceiling with large curved parts that narrows into a bottleneck with a height of 18 metres. This element connects the inside with the outside through a skylight, allowing natural light to illuminate the area. To take full advantage of this extraordinary architecture, Ippolito Fleitz Group has positioned a digital waterfall that seems to descend from the chimney-like structure. Just below the waterfall is the events and workshop area, a versatile space where people can gather and collaborate, as if around a bonfire. In this space characterised by curved shapes, Agora RGBW floodlights are aimed upwards and indirectly illuminate this area, immersing everything in a blue atmosphere. Flexibility makes the space of the Innovation Parc exceptional. The design allows for seamless transformations. The possibilities are endless, from a vibrant, colourful environment to a more sober ambience. Ippolito Fleitz Group has created a space that does not impose its own identity, but evolves according to the activities of the users and the brand itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709974601826-OFJ8UTJ44OXSV823BQKD/MixC+North+Arcade-final-small-3.jpg Commercial - Shenzhen MixC Shenzhen’s MixC shopping mall has been reimagined by Make Architects to response to the city’s fast-expanding economy with its growing population of over 12.5 million inhabitants. The design of the reconfigured mall has focused on giving the centre a much more civic approach, aiming to improve connections as part of a wider masterplan and its own distinct character. The refurbishment has breathed new life into the existing mall and made it feel like a skilfully composed urban district, prioritising the customer experience with a focus on high-end luxury. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708680125668-HHR74KE50OIEYVYJMJF2/Monday+Club-final-small-3.jpg Commercial - Monday Club A private clubhouse on a quiet, tree-lined street in Shanghai, designed by a boutique international practice, A00. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709744292957-JZH26P0ZH2I2AQYLFEMS/Grace+Chen-final-small-24.jpg Commercial - House of Grace Chen Kokaistudios has completed the renovation of a historical villa, located in the heart of the city’s former French Concession. The villa was transformed into the home for a Shanghai-based Haute Couture brand, Grace Chen. The project encompasses the architectural renovation and interior design of the villa, as well as a new glass pavilion display and event space. 
Taking inspiration from Grace Chen’s beautiful and intricately crafted clothing, Kokaistudios developed a design strategy that is feminine and elegant, yet completes the classic design of the villa with a touch of modernity. 
Kokaistudios embarked on an architectural restoration of the building that valorized the villa’s original features, including the French doors, the inlaid marble mosaic flooring on the upstairs terrace, as well as the beautiful facade brickwork. 
The entrance to the villa is marked by a large black and bronze weaved metal gate, the design of which was inspired by one of Grace Chen’s designs. It provides privacy, coupled with a strong sense of arrival. 
The villa overlooks a courtyard that was completely re-designed to meet the client's needs, functioning as an event space and an area for hosting small fashion shows. 
The architect divided the villa into a series of areas, with a progression from the public areas on the ground floor to the most private areas on the third floor. 
The ground floor hosts the main showroom and lounge area. The show-kitchen and dining area has direct access to the courtyard. 
The fitting rooms and offices are located on the second floor. The architect settled on a palette of colors and a range of natural materials, together creating a comforting environment that acts as a supporting backdrop to the client's beautiful couture creations. 
While much of the custom-made cabinetry and display mirrors were designed in a style to complement the historic nature of the villa, the architect chose to contrast them with features and finishes that were intentionally modern. 
The interior space uses furniture and fixtures from noted domestic and international producers, such as pieces by Flos, and Murano glass lamps designed and produced in Italy by the family of Filippo Gabbiani, Chief Architect of the project. 
The third floor is taken up by the intimate library as well as the VIP suite for out-of-town guests. Exposed bricks were finished in a simple dove grey paint, giving the space a more unfinished feeling.
This intimate and elegant space is an area for reflection and exchange, envisaged as a “salon” of old times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709745134959-FKU1JG55QCUU8BEX8ALX/Mia+Fringe-final-small-8.jpg Commercial - Mia Fringe A space in which to see and be seen, Mia Fringe is Shanghai’s newest multi-brand retail and dining destination. Inspired by the opulence, drama, and layered visibility of theater, Kokaistudios’ design showcases an eclectic array of men’s, women’s, and lifestyle brands to glamorous effect. With interiors to match the quirkiness of the brands, the space combines sophisticated glamour with playful eccentricity. Spread across two floors, the 1,600sqm venue’s complex programming called for careful consideration in terms of directing visitors into and around the space. In addition to fashion retail, Mia Fringe also incorporates a flower shop, cafe, and restaurant, which come nightfall, transforms into an atmospheric lounge-bar concept. The challenge for designers was how to succinctly convey this lifestyle mix in a way that would capitalize on the store’s prime Huaihai Road location. Two separate entrances make a clear distinction between Mia Fringe’s retail and F&B elements, signalling to passing foot traffic that this is as much of a destination for dining, as it is shopping. By entering either, visitors embark on a journey through distinctive spaces, each inspired by parts of a theater and peppered with playful motifs of performance and the stage. Imagined as a rehearsal room, the downstairs retail space is home to the store’s more entry-level products, including high street fashion, athleisure wear, lifestyle accessories, and flowers. A deliberate lightness of materials - pale-colored wood and terrazzo, for example - sets a welcoming tone, in keeping with an imagined, relaxed backstage area. A mirrored wall stretching the length of the space not only amplifies light, but also makes a playful nod to a theater’s rehearsal studio. Continuing the theme, garments are presented on horizontal rails, directly inspired by ballet barres. An eye-catching main entrance welcomes visitors into the imagined theater’s front-of-house world. Framed by a deep recess, and under a canopy of exposed bulbs, it leads to the first of Mia Fringe’s two F&B locations: a ground floor cafe. A casual daytime spot, it serves coffee, tea, sandwiches and light bites. Beyond is a grandiose sweeping staircase, setting the stage for the venue's dramatic upstairs space. Elegant light grey terrazzo steps are offset by dazzling walls of mosaic mirror, spanning both levels and extending to a third-floor office beyond. Comprising over 1,000 pieces of custom-cut antique-finished glass, studded with gleaming brass brackets, the area alludes to the edginess of the Mia Fringe concept by way of an unmistakably contemporary ripple glass balustrade. The material is a recurring motif throughout, with no fewer than six different types used across the venue’s various spaces. For the best seats in the house, a more formal upstairs dining room is imagined as the well-appointed boxes and balconies of a classical theater. A place in which to take afternoon tea, brunch, as well as more substantial fare, come nightfall, a cast of bartenders perform their craft from an elegant bar area, positioned to mirror an orchestra pit. The space offers expansive views onto a central atrium connecting the two floors, as well as into the second-floor retail area beyond. From this vantage point, repeated rows of horizontal hanging racks positioned throughout transitional areas imply layer upon layer of scenery tracks; while the vertical lines of a louver wall, as well as textured ripple glass on VIP room doors, are suggestive of stage curtains. The stage in question showcases Mia Fringe’s most cutting-edge, high-end product lines, as well as a dedicated jewelry display room. Theatrical in tone, the space contrasts elegant materials - an abundance of walnut, parquet flooring, and touches of burnished brass, for example - with a consciously less polished wall finish of textured Marmo Antico plaster. The physical juxtaposition between textures refined and rough mirrors Mia Fringe’s curatorial approach of edgy sophistication. Throughout, product displays take the form of abstract wooden blocks, appearing as stage props in an unknown play. A theatre of a space, inside of which visitors are invited to find their own persona and role, Mia Fringe is where narratives combine and stories unfold. For this reason, creating a backdrop that lends itself to sharing on social media was of particular importance. Currently making waves in Shanghai, Mia Fringe takes inspiration from an established trend for multipurpose concept stores, started in Europe, and blending carefully curated products with a palpable focus on experience, all within beautifully designed spaces. A vibrant, day-long destination for shopping, dining, and more, Mia Fringe strikes a careful balance between sophisticated elegance and contemporary edge, lending new drama to Shanghai’s dynamic retail scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708493083024-486NF466P388PS55PPLY/Luo+Hong+Museum-final-small-8.jpg Commercial - Luo Hong Art Museum Located in close vicinity to Beijing International Airport, Luo Hong Art Museum is China's largest personal photography art museum.

Chilean artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz presented the last in a trilogy of installations. Titled “Foundations”, Errazuriz’s immersive design for 2018 is based on iron ore, the natural resource at the heart of steel and one of the principal resources for watchmakers. 

Italian artist Quayola’s new photographic series, titled “Remains: Vallée de Joux” unifies the natural roots of Audemars Piguet with his own visual artistry.

Together, the two artists transformed the space into a somewhat fantastical hideaway with their respective creations, which further serve as the backdrop for Audemars Piguet’s highly trained watchmakers to demonstrate their craft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708680309213-VKTYIGTRH6PRV8W7QQDI/AP+Installation-final-small-1.jpg Commercial - Audemars Piguet Shanghai Exhibition French artist and designer Mathieu Lehanneur was appointed to conceive a special installation that is made of 12 rooms, forming a large ring – an allusion to a watch dial.

 In the middle of the circle stands a huge rock, created from cast replicas of those found in Audemars Piguet’s home in the Vallée de Joux.

 Around it, twelve doors will open, each revealing a story about Audemars Piguet: from its origins to the 21st century, from watchmaking to contemporary art, from the Vallée de Joux to China.

 The themed rooms exhibit a close-up experience of the iconic swiss brand, linking the past to the present.

 200 historical and contemporary timepieces are exhibited, transporting visitors on a 141 year-long journey. On display in the mirror room are rare vintage watches that have made milestones in the maison’s history.

 Audemars Piguet has always sought to integrate creative vision with technical mastery, as horology, artisanship and artistry have been closely intertwined for centuries.

 The brand is pushing a different kind of boundary, having embarked on this journey from Le Brassus to China, and is looking forward to witnessing the encounter between these two very different worlds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709974432440-ANH0YAWQCJ5JLK32KNP0/VS+HK-final-small-80.jpg Commercial - Victoria's Secret Victoria’s Secret Shanghai Lippo Plaza Victoria’s Secret Beijing WF Central Victoria’s Secret Hong Kong https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709951736620-ISCC1V2AKH9HZPA41KZM/2016-12+Hermes+Winter+2016+Window-final-small-6.jpg Commercial - Hermès Shanghai Maison https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709749838623-14ZZIGWE3YGHGYMPLQ0V/The+Clinic-medium-2.jpg Commercial - The Clinic The first of its kind in Shanghai, The Clinic, is a wellness, and rehabilitation center focusing on each person's individual needs. The design from Hannah Churchill of hcreates aims to create an interior that overturns ones idea of the "sterile white walled" hospital environment. Raw materials of concrete, rustic wood, textured glass and industrial lighting have been used to create a intimate boutique style to the common spaces and treatment rooms. The minimalistic and natural finishes give suggestion to a spa interior to instill a feeling of relaxation and healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709916940076-OBUFA49WFLR51XHZ4LGS/Holiland+Shanghai-final-small-3.jpeg Commercial - Holiland Patisserie Shanghai London-based practice Universal Design Studio has designed a pastel sweet bakery in Shanghai, where the fitout almost steals the show from the sweets. For a new patisserie and bakery concept in Shanghai’s Vanke Mall, London practice Universal Design Studio took inspiration from the products on display – intricately delicate cakes. The aesthetic at the newly opened Holiland is intentionally bright and youthful, while tempered by softer neutrals and natural finishes. The material selection played a big part in the development of this project with their execution adding graphic impact and a clean backdrop to let the hand-crafted delicacies shine through. The palette is defined by a soft colour palette of oak wood, pink resin and two variations of terrazzo. Another key feature is the application of geometry. Curved and rectangular volumes pull the customer’s eye in with a particular focus on the recessed display niches. The project for the retail concept encompassed designing all aspects of the interior as well as the facade. Space planning also played a major role with the layout across the 1100-square-foot space incorporating moments of retail theatre whereby customers can view the patisserie chefs as they make all of the delectable treats. The curves are repeated throughout the space as a visual connector, but also soften what would be an otherwise a large white box. Graphic curved geometries dot the branding, while the terrazzo plinths feature chamfered edges. Making a dramatic impact is the curving, plywood-lined wall behind the counter. This envelopes the space and adds a sense of compression and release. The bakery’s exterior allows customers to peruse the cake selection through an external kiosk, which is offset by outdoor seating populated by greenery and planters. The blurring between interior and exterior extends to the terrazzo tiled floor finish, intended to draw the customer’s eye into the space. http://www.sethpowersphotography.com/hospitality daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1774594852950-MXCGSAD15BTWCFTEUCU4/Wenzhou+Legend-final-small-3.jpg Hospitality - Wenzhou Legend A members-only sky clubhouse by AB Concept crowns Wenzhou Lucheng Plaza, translating Ou embroidery, ceramics and inlay into a refined setting for dining, socialising and quiet escape above the city. AB Concept has crafted a sky-high sanctuary above Wenzhou in the 38th-floor residents’ clubhouse at Wenzhou Lucheng Plaza, a 7,000-square-metre social realm that channels the city’s millennia-old trading spirit into a contemporary luxury setting. Rising 389 metres at the confluence of old and new districts, the tower overlooks the Oujiang River’s “one river, two banks” urban landscape, a view that becomes a constant visual thread throughout the interior. Design director Kevin Chung and the AB Concept team root the project in Ou culture, fusing traditional crafts like Ou embroidery, Ou kiln ceramics, Ou sculpture and Wenzhou mother-of-pearl inlay with Western design codes. The double-height arrival lobby frames sweeping river vistas, where metallic lines and sculptural art pieces evoke a refined modern Chinese sensibility. Above, a three-dimensional camellia motif—an intangible cultural heritage of Wenzhou—blooms across a curved ceiling, its intricate stitching echoing the flowing stone patterns underfoot. The all-day restaurant “Jinge” features an eight-metre-high dome and a bespoke Ou-sculpted landscape wall, while the adjoining “Tide” bar centres on a shell-shaped counter in oxidised copper, shimmering like river ripples at sunset. Tucked behind, the “Jinyun” cigar lounge offers leather seating and climate-controlled wine storage for discreet business or social gatherings. Along the corridor, colourful Ou ceramics and luminous Wenzhou inlay set a ceremonious tone leading to six riverfront private dining suites. The signature “Jinyu” room, inspired by classical gardens, is ringed by sixteen stone columns forming an octagonal pavilion, crowned by layered glass chandeliers and walls etched with the contours of Yandang Mountain. The "Queen’s Room" mirror hall is defined by soft pink tones, with floor-to-ceiling glass facing the Ou River, drawing the interplay of daylight, nightfall and shimmering water into the space. A slender marble table accommodates art salons, afternoon tea gatherings or yoga meditation sessions, while mirrored surfaces and metallic details are enhanced under the lighting to heighten a sense of lavish drama—creating a private realm where female residents can momentarily step away from daily routines and claim a quiet moment to themselves. Together with the feminine “Queen’s Room” mirror hall and flexible smaller suites, the clubhouse becomes an airborne manor where Wenzhou’s artisanal heritage and contemporary urban glamour meet in the clouds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1738125373933-CLCQBD1POER7KQXTEUBV/Anadu+Pine-final-small-24.jpg Hospitality - Anadu Pine Villa Designed by Studio8, Anadu Pine Villa is situated in a secluded valley enveloped by pine forests and shielded by a mountain draped in bamboo.

Celebrating ancient heritage with modern elegance, LTW brings forth a timeless design that pays tribute to the deep-rooted ancient traditions and cultures of The Analects. Take a look at the complete story after the jump. From the architects: Sitting adjacent to the Confucius Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the JW Marriott Qufu stands as an emblem of the ancient city. Tastefully appointed with traditional Chinese features, the hotel’s distinctive exterior emulates structures from the ancient city. Complementing the architecture, LTW aims to bring forth Confucian values through aesthetics inspired by the Six Arts, including music, rituals, and calligraphy. Inspired by Confucius’ teachings, the Lobby, Lobby Lounge and the Tea House on the first floor replicate the scholar hall at Confucius Temple. Sitting atop a raised stone pond at the lobby’s Atrium, a poetic allusion of “The Great Teacher” takes centre-stage: A statue of Confucius courteously kneels before a seven-metre-tall gingko tree art installation, created with intricately weaved metallic scriptures. Natural lighting saturates the Lobby under a glass roof in a dark timber, bronze-detailed ceiling, highlighting the centrepiece against a stoned Moon Gate – an architectural feature of traditional garden passageways – that partitions the Atrium and Lounge. Echoing this allusion is a striking gold accent wall, engraved with illustrations of falling gingko leaves, which stands behind the reception desk located on the left side of the lobby upon entrance. The gold accent wall, set against the neutral-toned lobby, intentionally highlights a dimension of space that draws on the ancient and modern, allowing guests to travel between the times. Behind the Moon Gate, the meditative tranquility continues throughout The Lounge. Dark timber furniture, rattan chairs, wooden shelves, ancient Chinese scrolls and traditional stitched bound books fill the space, adorned with low-hanging mesh lanterns to give a warm, inviting ambience. Paying homage to The Analects’ value of education, the Tea House, surrounded by wooden shelves, books and exquisite tea sets, creates a tranquil retreat for guests to rest and study. Public and private spaces are partitioned by white ceramic lattice, accessorised by figures of the Disciples and artistic representations of books, and musical instruments. To the right of the Lobby, a grey stone wall encased with small glass lanterns illuminates the hallway leading to the restaurant spaces. Boasting a full view of the courtyard, the All-Day Dining Area is complete with dark timber tiles, complemented by textured walls and tawny brown leather seating, providing flexibility of functions for groups and private dining. On the other side, Residence, the two-storey Chinese restaurant, translates the architectural details of the outdoor courtyard into an opulent gathering space. Blending the outdoor environment into its interiors, the ground floor public dining area is framed by stone walls, with a cream-coloured lounge seating area on both sides of the restaurant as a tea-tasting area. Traditional wooden door panels are translated into ornate bronze latticework as door panels and partitions, covering ceilings and window screens. The private dining rooms are highlighted by shades of ochre, displaying artwork that reflects the surrounding historic structures of the area. Set aside a private courtyard or a veranda, the Guestroom designs draw inspiration from a well-known Confucius saying: “The wise find pleasure in water; the virtuous find pleasure in hills.” Taking water and woods as the main inspiration, LTW uses a contrasting palette to convey the yin-and-yang of the two elements: deep brown, to represent the rigidness of the mountain, and white, to illustrate the fluidity of water. Dark walnut wooden tiles, ripple-designed carpet and embossed headboard to inject a calming, meditative effect in the space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708833326680-2Q4LLBWLT1KD6IWB99ZS/Grand+Hyatt-final-small-7.jpg Hospitality - Grand Hyatt Xi’An Dramatic double-height reception lobby which is enveloped by a feather-like sculptural white feature wall with curving vertical lines that extends 10 meters high, and patterned timber walls forming wing-like motifs. The Chinese restaurant takes you to an Oasis with stylized trees placed around the restaurant and ruby-like pomegranate screen used as dividers in the ala carte area to create intimacy for dine-in guests. “Grand Hyatt Xi’an takes reference from the spirit of the Silk Road and reinterpret into the elegant contemporary interiors of the hotel.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708833350274-JI73Y65CQ4FF6JMJ1USB/Conrad+Tianjin-final-small-18.jpg Hospitality - Conrad Tianjin Inspired by its colonial past and the cultural blend of East and West, the design of Conrad Tianjin revives the province's prosperity and glamour in the 1920's Jazz Age. Surrounded by arabescus white marble walls and bronze trimmings, the lobby boasts a clean yet lavish interior decorated with crystal chandeliers, highlighted by a 12-metre ornate partition. Each of the restaurant take inspiration from cultures of the nations that historically traded with China. At the all-day dining restaurant, Brasserie on G, deco aesthetics are mixed with European influence while Southeast Asian restaurant, Bam Bou is injected with tropical flair, evoking colors of forests. Weaving together the past and present, the contemporary design effortlessly blends nostalgic European sophistication and traditional Chinese chic, revitalising Art Deco decadence with opulence and grandeur. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708833391915-96O72KJ8KCU2PY1MYX03/Conrad+Jiuzhaigou-final-small-17.jpg Hospitality - Conrad Jiuzhaigou This stunning resort is nestled between in the mountains on the Tibetan Plateau and situated just a short ride from the UNESCO World Heritage site of Jiuzhaigou Valley. The resort’s design allows guests to experience local Tibetan culture and natural beauty in a luxurious setting by weaving in features of the traditional Amdo culture and blending the design harmoniously with the unique natural surroundings. The design team was tasked with utilising some of the existing spaces and designs from the adjacent Hilton hotel and upgrading them to create a distinct and upscale look for the luxury Conrad brand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708611080966-R1EHHM7535U3F6WVC63W/Sangha+Overview-final-small-46.jpg Hospitality - Sangha Retreat by Octave Sangha Retreat by Octave is a life learning and wellness community on the shores of beautiful Yangcheng Lake, Suzhou.

The design of the resort was overseen by New York based design firm TsAO & McKOWN. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708833610553-Q5WMM51PUSDBWXRQKYTB/Sintoho-final-small-2.jpg Hospitality - Dai Forni & Sintoho at Four Seasons Kuwait Kokaistudios' newest projects with Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts - the Dai Forni Italian and the Sintoho Asian restaurants located in the newly built Four Seasons Kuwait in the Burj Alshaya building. 

The designer adopted an architectural approach to the development of the project by conceiving the space as an oasis in a desert. The heat of the days are embodied by the southern Italian cuisine restaurant Dai Forni, which centers around wood-burning ovens and fire pillars, while the cool nightimes are embodied by the Asian fine dining restaurant Sintoho with its water towers and darker color palette. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708833583748-7HGQYV3DOX8KPLF3IB0L/Brasserie-final-small-6.jpg Hospitality - Brasserie at Four Seasons Kyoto The Brasserie restaurant and lounge is core of the new outstanding Four Seasons resort and residence in the heart of the heritage district of Kyoto, the ancient capital city of Japan. Adding to the already difficult design task was the challenge to create a successful destination not limited to the resort guests that serves French inspired fine cuisine in the city of Kyoto; known domestically and internationally as a traditional temple of Japanese food culture. The new hotel is located in the UNESCO protected area of the temples of Kyoto at the base of the mountains and faces a historical traditional Japanese pond surrounded by a magnificent heritage ikeniwa garden. The restaurant positioned between the arrival lobby and the garden is the core of the public space of the hotel becoming in this way the main representative space of the entire resort. For this reason we conceived the space on with a strong architectural strategy by using the Kyoto traditional system to connect indoor to outdoor creating a large architectural feature that frames the view of the garden from the lobby level all over the restaurant at the level below. In this way the long facade between the restaurant and the garden located on the north side of the hotel become a transparent diaphragm that transmit the indirect light reflected by the garden pond and trees creating a magic contemplative mood in the restaurant space. The layout of the restaurant has been developed by unifying under the large architectural frame three different functions, a lounge area at the arrival, a central bar and banquette counter and a more private fine dining area. The access to the restaurant has two different entrances'; the main entrance is directly connected to the upper level lobby through a special staircase designed as a main sculptural feature capable to become a visible milestone and drive the public guests directly from the main entrance of the hotel through the dramatic double height space looking at the garden down to the lounge area. The second, more private entrance for hotel guests is located on the restaurant level and is designed as a path through a series of experiences, from the lift lobby where a stone garden designed in cooperation with Japanese artist Ramon Todo welcomes the guests in a spectacular view of the garden and a carved stone tunnel that drives to the restaurant door. The lounge area welcomes the guests in a spectacular double height space with nine meters high ceilings which has been conceived an intimate area defined by a central fire place and a custom made carpet developed in cooperation with Taiping that creates a three-dimensional wave effect typical of the traditional Kyoto stone Zen gardens. In the center of the restaurant has been designed a unique and original bar area integrating inside an iconic stone platform traditional Japanese style bar and a buffet counter flexible to be used in the morning for breakfast and during the rest of the day as a food display or a decorative sets for the late night. The bar counter is a pure stone mass carved with unique Japanese craftsmanship technique finished with a precious massive wooden table 15 meters long selected exclusively for this project. On the side of the bar we located around a central fireplace a more private area for fine dining completed by a series of custom made banquette seats conceived as bamboo nests where guests can appreciate the full view of the garden maintaining a strong sense of intimacy. At the end of the restaurant we placed a special feature for display of wines that transforms from a delicate decoration during the day to a glittering iconic spotlight during the night. The design of this project is a new step in Kokaistudios method of combining a strong architectural approach to the design of interiors with an original use of materials and light to create unexpected subtle emphatic feeling between the space and the people; handcrafted materials shaped and controlled up to the finest detail interact and interplay with the both the day and night light and reveal an incredibly expressive power. Stone surfaces are hand hammered so to make them become visually and tactilely soft, wooden surfaces and treated in the same methodology as the traditional outdoor Japanese timbers, and special metal materials has been developed in cooperation with Japanese craftsmen so to make them reveal unusual and original artistic effects. For this unique project Kokaistudios created a series of custom designed furniture inspired by the traditional Japanese styles and revised with a contemporary attitude to optimize the comfort and create through the development of fine details a subtle sense of essential elegance. Inspired by the local traditional art of bamboo waving we design exclusively for this project a series of iconic seats crafted as large wooden nests that define in a unique way the character of the space and create a strong relation between indoor and outdoor. The terrace facing the magnificent pond has been designed in cooperation with the landscape design firm and hosts a series of seats conceived for a casual and flexible dining setup. Elegant outdoor seats from European manufacture Tribu combined with custom made nest seats and fine artistic designed tables contribute to create a unique feeling of empathy with the magic environment of the historical and traditional garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708833632520-EBIKNOBG4V6QA5PMP72A/Le+Meridien-final-small-10.jpg Hospitality - Le Meridien Shenyang Opened in late 2017, Le Meridien Shenyang is an ode to both the mid-century modern roots of Le Meridien brand and to the city of Shenyang itself; both in terms of its historical significance as the one-time capital of China’s last dynasty, the Qing, and also its location in the North-East of China with its four distinct seasons. Searching to create a timeless design in which art and graphics would play a principal role, Kokaistudios began the design process with the creation of a sophisticated materials palette inspired by the traditional colors and textures of the region’s forests and by undertaking a detailed topographical study of the current and historical maps of the city together with Beijing-based artists Instant Hutong. The outcome of these initial considerations is a project in which texture, materiality, graphics and art combine to create an immersive and elegant design experience where guests throughout their stay can discover additional layers of the history and culture of the city and the Le Meridien brand by way of subtle design instruments. From the first steps into the hotel, guests are welcomed by a small reception lobby decorated with a 3-D corona engraved bi-color map of the historical and modern city, designed to give the guests a deeper geographical understanding of the space. Off the main lobby sits the Latitude 42 area; with its distinctly modern European design language this lounge area was designed as an elegant gathering point for both hotel guests and the surrounding community. The walls of the swimming pool have been finished with a vibrant green jade marble that acts as an art-piece and counter point to the muted grey stone flooring reminiscent in both texture and patterns of the nearby imperial palace; one of the best preserved in China. This use of materials as decorations continues in the guest-rooms where Kokaistudios have made extensive use of Oak wood which dominates the forests surrounding the city; its gentle tactile nature and simple elegance combine with a scented oil treatment give the rooms a feeling of serenity and coziness. The design of this project is a new step in Kokaistudios method of combining a strong architectural approach to the design of interiors with an original use of materials and light to create unexpected subtle emphatic feeling between the space and the people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1708832278488-CENFDFOH51X1ZYAIX7G0/The+Living+Room-final-small-1.jpg Hospitality - The Living Room by Octave An adaptive reuse of a historical building in Shanghai China, The Living Room is built to create walkable, mixed-use alternatives to China’s rampant urbanization.

Experiencing strong growth, Lilith needed a human-centric, inspiring work environment for its expanding Shanghai workforce. To help Lilith’s people relocate into a new space that fit their evolving needs, we designed an innovative 20,000 sq-m work environment across three buildings. Combining expertise from workplace strategists, designers, technologists and build experts, we generated an inventive design concept to inspire and engage. This hinged on nine different art forms including video gaming, theatre, literature, sculpture and architecture. Art installations on each floor provide wayfinding, while curated furniture and customised environmental art offer visual detail. The functional space planning focuses on staff wellness and was informed by a series of workplace studies to understand user behaviours, work patterns and organisational culture. ‘Tatami areas’ with curtains on multiple floors provide accessible, private spaces for lunchtime napping, doubling as informal collaboration areas. Pantries and snack shelves sit at the front-of-house by a window to encourage movement and wellbeing. Curated greenery, ergonomic furniture and height-adjustable workstations prioritise a healthy, considered work experience. To support Lilith’s culture of life-long learning and hobby-based communities, the workplace includes a music room, photo studio, film screening room and games room. A fully-equipped gym and a cat room (uniquely designed to support Lilith’ pet-friendly culture) allow staff to de-stress and regain creative energy. A spacious, two-storey café supports social events and informal working with artistically designed lighting, furniture and greenery. Combining research and creation functions, the workspace supports both work and learning with training facilities, a research & observation room, a recording studio and more. Guided by principles of wellness and creativity, the new work environment cultivates gaming innovation while reflecting Lilith’s youth culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709485913229-24QC4OK32OD70GYK91YZ/Sensetime+Day+1-final-small-4.jpg Workplace - Sensetime Office In response to rapid business growth, artificial intelligence company SenseTime wanted to establish its Chinese headquarters in the Caohejing Development Zone of Shanghai. We created a high-performance office environment that encourages social collaboration and prioritises wellbeing. The new headquarters spans 22,000 sq m across seven floors and reflects the company’s technology and research DNA. Informed by comprehensive workplace strategy studies, the design of SenseTime’s China headquarters creates a human-centric work environment for up to 1,400 employees. As the AI business experiences rapid change, the space addresses this with agility and mobility. It helps staff to communicate, collaborate and socialise in a diverse, choice-rich setting. High technology creates impact throughout the user journey in a space that serves brand and business. Inspired by the company’s culture of resilience and progressive innovation, typical work floors are open plan with glass partitions demonstrating SenseTime’s values of transparency and collaboration. Windows provide maximum daylight with public spaces for discussion and recreation to support wellness. The space encourages vertical movement and communications across different floors with meeting rooms, the exhibition hall and multi-functional spaces located at the building’s centre. The third floor features a variety of spaces for visitors, providing easy access for meetings while maintaining privacy for the work floors above. As SenseTime’s first self-owned property, the workplace creates a memorable spatial journey. Carefully considering the needs of staff, the space brings to life the company’s youthful and innovative spirit. Inspired by the Moebius Ring (a surface with only one side and one boundary curve), custom wooden furniture in the third-floor atrium helps create a fluid flow, symbolising a non-stop, circular pursuit of innovation. Featuring flexible seating, the multi-purpose staircase can host town halls, social events and recreation. A flexible layout and smart office facilities support experimentation with SenseTime’s latest innovative products. These include wall-mounted smart panels for meeting room reservations, face recognition access control and smart locker systems. The second-floor multi-functional hall has a 5-metre-wide full-colour LED display and high-definition speakers for events including product launches and public affairs meetings. The walls feature sound-absorbing sandstone, and a starred lighting design on the ceiling creates a futuristic feel. Digital screens in public areas across floors display air quality figures and other wellness statistics. Designed to meet LEED and WELL standards, the space includes low-carbon materials and addresses physical and mental wellbeing. Adjustable furniture on the office floor allows employees to choose how to work based on departmental, team and individual needs, for autonomy and comfort. The cafeteria, gym and sleeping pods turn the workplace into a multi-functional destination, helping it to attract and retain talent in the competitive field of AI. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709485412335-B4RL6CSV5Y9PANR77ZDO/Kids2+Office-final-small-2.jpg Workplace - Kids2 Office With an objective to make parenthood easier, “one tiny win at a time”, Kids2 has been inventing baby products for more than 50 years. Growing its China operations to attract world-class professionals in every department and engage with various partners within its ecosystem, Kids2 required a high-performance space to not only bring staff together but create an environment that fuels innovation, creativity and transfiguring ideas within its teams and with its partners. It was also important for Kids2 to create a space that cultivates its entire growing enterprise of entities that include a media company, multiple joint ventures and a venture capital arm. ————————————————————————————————————————— To create this hub – one of five across the globe - M Moser convened a team of workplace strategists, interior and brand designers, workplace technology experts, and wellness specialists, to achieve the ambitions of the space through a holistic approach. “Thanks to the brilliant team at M Moser, we’ve designed the space uniquely to our needs by embracing modernist principles like open plan, honest materials and simple volumes to build a design-driven environment. It is very conducive to our employees to encourage creativity and collaboration while showcasing our products and content for our partners and customers. ” David Butler Chief Growth Officer Kids2 Project highlights Honouring core brand values in a design-driven workplace Evoking emotional connections through a culturally-influenced journey and brand accessories that inspire fond childhood memories Nurturing meaningful visitor engagement through digital touchpoints discreetly embedded throughout the space Delivering a healthy, WELL-targeted environment to support Kids2’s commitment to sustainable growth —————————————————————————————————————————— Translating key values into design details The design concept was inspired by Kids2’s emphasis on ingenuity and its community-centric approach to create a playful and interactive environment. Bold colours sit in juxtaposition to calming and cosy neutral backgrounds, tailored furniture, careful design details and curated brand accessories. Printing, storage and mailroom spaces have been planned along a red “ribbon” core. The design discreetly conceals these areas with key brand elements. This intuitive wayfinding creates distinct signals to users, without sacrificing the design intent. This approach combined with the bold use of signature colour, premium materials and tailored detailing serve as an authentic nod to Kids2’s aspiration to be a design-driven company, transforming parenthood through carefully developed, holistic solutions. Elements from traditional Chinese games including Jianzi, Tuoluo and Kongzhu, have been translated into creative signage and installations. These graphics connect the brand’s international legacy with its commitment to local consumers. Playfulness in every encounter Guided by a “Playground” concept, the workplace features a series of artworks inspired by local scenery, known as “Joy in the Lane”. Showcasing the brand’s products in Shanghainese Shikumen lanes, these visual elements trigger fond memories for local visitors and create an emotional connection to the brand. Customised carpet at the front of house features a map of Shanghai, emphasising its central, premium location in the financial district. Unique, lantern-shaped lighting pays homage to Chinese culture. Other culturally influenced items to engage and delight include knot pillows, sponge holders and small food baskets. To reinforce branding and humanise the workplace experience, the team curated a series of accessories such as water bottles, cups and felt coasters. Manifesting Kids2’s innovative spirit, the reconfigurable work areas feature multiple flexible, modular set-ups to support different creative activities. A carousel showcase stage in the product showroom takes visitors on an interactive journey to experience a series of products ranging from entertainers, swings to toys and play mats. Flexible lighting, hangers and graphics support the display of a variety of products in a versatile environment. An immersive digital journey Digital storytelling was a critical component. Kids2 wanted to create a seamless experience for developing engaging digital content. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted in a lounge area featuring biophilic elements. This sets a bold sustainability statement against a backdrop of the spectacular Shanghai skyline. As the journey unfolds, visitors can capture a selfie that is organically embedded on the “face mosaic” LED screen. This celebrates each unique visit and the organisation’s philosophy of “tiny wins.” The digital experience area features four projection set-ups and acoustic facilities for a seamless, immersive experience. Supporting AR integration, it takes visitors on an interactive journey to explore brand stories, the latest product prototypes and other digital content. Activating engaging learning sessions and addressing space limitations, the showroom is equipped with iPad displays for easy digital access to Kids2’s brand portfolios: Baby Einstein, Ingenuity, and Bright Starts. Hand in hand with Kids2 stakeholders, M Moser’s multi-disciplinary team delivered a WELL-targeted, high-performance workplace. This culturally resonant space champions brand story and business ambition while strengthening connection with customers and partners in China. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709538091057-ZQXB73QBW9GGXBCCTQT6/Abbott+Office-final-small-5.jpg Workplace - Abbott Customer Experience Center The Abbott Customer Experience Center (CEC) will foster a customer focused show-suite and training center with state-of-the-art interactive technology. In lieu of a traditional reception desk, the lobby welcomes visitors with a two-story modular digital LED tile wall, surrounding speakers, a hanging art-sculpture with customer-engaging audio-visual hardware, and a cantilevered continuous staircase the spans the entire vertical stretch of the building. We designed in a 50-person auditorium, executive business center, an exterior roof terrace, garden, staff workplace, call center, and fully functioning biosafety training labs. Achieving a rating of LEED Silver, this facility represents the company’s commitment to sustainability, wellness, and a human-centered purpose to healthcare science. Founded on the belief that all design should deliver a human connection with space, we begin our process with a deep-dive exploration of what emotional reactions would align with core business objectives. If the desired effect is comfort, excitement, playful, cheerful, confidence, boldness, intimacy, or even an uncomfortable awkwardness, this informs specific properties of scale, materiality, colors, spatial adjacencies, lighting and furniture selections. The Abbott CEC is designed with the human experience in mind first — driving the technology integration, user interface, materials, and the interior architecture. During the 6-month design period, a carefully constructed customer journey was mapped out through working intimately with Abbott and consultants to gain a deep understanding of their business. The journey outlined the experiences and interface for the users (customers) at each “touch point”. This then informed the architectural design of the space. The 6 x 8 x 2.4h meter “Möbius strip” or “Infinite Ribbon” sculpture was created as an iconic arrival point for customers in the lobby, to inspire curiosity and push information about Abbott. The structure is completely hung from the ceiling and cantilevered from the core wall. Guests can walk inside and thru motion sensors, the LED display screens and background audio immediately come alive. Videos are played on screens on both sides. Gesture-based menu interaction is also available for a more customized experience. The stair is at the heart of connectivity between floor functions and the vertical journey experience. Guests walk up the stair with an obscure view up thru “floating” landings to the fourth floor. New slab openings, structural bracing, and each stair run and landing is fully cantilevered from the building core, with only 1 larger support at the base. The first 3 steps of the stair were created as landings to hide this support. The Customer Experience Center begins on the second floor. The “Hall of Challenges” disrupts guests perception of space through a long corridor with light in motion, reflection, intense sound effects, and digital images on screen beyond. This experience was designed to disconnect customers from their previous surroundings and into a fully immersive new space which begged for their attention. The other rooms of the Experience Center include a curved floor-to-ceiling rear projection screen, dramatic surround sound, 48-point ‘Multitaction’ touch screen, ceiling light effects, a virtual environment with rear projection on all four walls of the room (where any environment could be presented), product demo area, and an interactive customer solution room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710255904764-K9HXVHRMW154F46VQEST/Perkins+Eastman+Office-final-small-5.jpg Workplace - Perkins Eastman Shanghai Office With a front row seat looking out over one of the world’s most impressive and ever-evolving skylines, the Perkins Eastman Shanghai studio embodies the city’s zeitgeist and forward-looking design culture.

The lobby takes cues from a “Museum”: clad in light, bright stone, and accented with pale natural wood, pillars and a sweeping open staircase lend grandeur to the space. Overhead, Barrisol light boxes appear as pebble-shaped skylights. Taking full advantage of the architecture’s fully glazed south-facing surface, this floor also boasts an attractive staff canteen with views overlooking an adjacent park. On the second floor, a series of meeting rooms mark a shift from public space to semi-private. In stark contrast to the open and bright lobby area, here is imagined as a low-lit Theater. The third and fourth floors comprise a variety of work set-ups, ranging from open office areas suitable for collaborative projects, informal meeting rooms, as well as semi-enclosed spaces. At the far end, Kokaistudios significantly altered the building’s original architecture to create an impressive auditorium. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709627678592-J02XJHWX6287LG6Y4XZP/MAKE-Tianjin+CTF-final-small-5.jpg Workplace - CTF Tower Office Make has designed the workplace fit-out for the 96-storey CTF Tower in Tianjin, designed by SOM. The striking 530m-tall structure has a gently curving glass skin and houses offices, a retail mall, 300 serviced apartments and a 350-room Rosewood Hotel. Spanning 44 floors, our fit-out builds on our client’s brand philosophy – which celebrates art, people and nature – and aim of creating a destination where culture, entertainment, shopping and living converge. Our Northern Lights design concept celebrates nature in the city and draws inspiration from the distinctive light and movement patterns created on the tower’s facade. The lobby features a centrepiece Aurora-inspired ceiling design, with thousands of shimmering glass pearls suspended on rods of different lengths. Light bounces between the pearls, while the rods’ undulating volume complements the building’s curved structure. The design generates a variety of atmospheres, depending on the time of day and amount of light filtering inside. The monolithic central core – wrapped in rustic timber – is the central linking element between the office floors, which are all different due to the building’s undulating form. The wavy ceiling feature also travels up through the core, with a customised Aurora pattern in each lift lobby, while white wallpaper lines the tenant walls. The lower floors are multi-tenant, while the higher floors are single-tenant with individual entrances. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1764152043271-CQ5V27WNUSYT2BBXI5FV/Sanxin+Tower+Lobby-final-small-16.jpg Workplace - Sanxin Tower Lobby Revitalising a 90s office tower in Guangzhou’s CBD, this project bridges heritage with modernity. The transformed lobby, featuring fluid landscaping that mirrors the bronzed canopy creates an intuitive arrival sequence.

As the central retail training lab for all of the brands owned by the Compagnie Financiere Richemont; the world's second largest luxury conglomerate; Kokaistudios developed an innovative and welcoming interior design concept as a continuation of our long cooperation with Richemont that extends from architectural design to the development of global retail concepts and roll-outs. 

 The project occupies the 2nd floor of the office building that lies to the Northof the historic Twin Villas that house the Maison Vacheron Constantin, the Alfred Dunhill Home and the Kee Club. In accordance with Richemont Group's value, the design of the retail academy emphasizes upon growing synergies between multiple brands and passing on common message of the group. 

 The layout of the two-story training academy was essentially composed of five parts, including two reception and waiting areason each floor, two corridor and lounge areas on each floor, office on the second floor, pantry & computer area and training class rooms on each floor. The rectangular shaped floor plate is mainly defined by patterned glass partition and signature wood panels.

WeWork East Yanan Road brings modern Shanghai office space to People's Square. Adjacent to a neighborhood filled with northwestern food restaurants, the space was influenced by the Silk Road in its design. Once an ancient trade route passing through the Xinjiang region in the northwestern China, it paved the way for the trade of information, language, and culture across numerous countries -- a trait directly aligned to WeWork’s mission and values. 
A hand-painted mural inspired by the ornate patterns and vibrant colors of silk road can be seen in the lounge area. A combination of different patterns from the East, West, and Eurasia, the mural was created as a collage and torn to reveal the various textures beneath. Underneath these layers, in blue and gray letters, contains one of WeWork’s mottos, “Better Together”.

Given the vastness and busyness of the site, our natural instinct was to enclose the restaurant to offer an intimate and calm environment, while maintaining connectivity to its surroundings. As an independent volume, the bistro is defined by a quiet rectilinear shell, carefully proportioned and inserted into place. Like a traditional wooden Chinese lunch box, once opened reveals its contents within a geometry of simple voids and lines inside. Guests have full view of the dishes being prepared, a coming together of hand-made rice noodles, ample fresh vegetables and herbs is a feast for both the eyes and stomach. As the dining room’s centrepiece, a composition of large ceramic plates hovers over a communal banquet sized table and suffuses the space with softness and colour. The ceramic plates, which are painstakingly hand thrown and glazed in traditional tones by local potters in Jingdezhen, are the results of lengthy and often unpredictable trials with large format vessels. Their wobbles and imperfections are very much apparent and add beautifully to the character of each piece. The natural warmth of Luan wood permeates throughout the space.

The shopping mall stands at a very busy intersection and with Starbucks Reserve located on the first floor, it was pertinent for SeeSaw to maintain its originality. The designer TAKESHI HOSAKA architects focused on featuring coffee beans native to China in the design concept and aimed to provide a cozy and friendly atmosphere for their young clientele. Stainless steel mirrors shaped like coffee beans hang from the ceiling throughout the store. The bustling intersection of cars, bikes and people outside are drawn into the store through the mirrors, invoking an urban atmosphere. The mirrors also reflect the appearance of baristas working inside the store. The youthful and vibrant interior contrasts with the dim lighting, creating a unique atmosphere. The designer gave serious consideration to creating a relaxing setting for drinking coffee, since the fixed glass facade on the third floor could easily give a closed-off and stagnant feeling to the space. Shanghai is known to be a bustling city with lots of foot, bicycle and car traffic, so the designer took advantage of the “moving” city and incorporated the “floating coffee bean” mirrors to reflect not only the exterior views but also the daily scenes of people, bicycles and cars constantly moving. These reflections also give people a fresh perspective on the urban scenery that they are familiar with. The mirrors take on a variety of different shapes and sizes, depending on where the customer sits. The shape of the coffee bean mirrors have also been carefully considered. The coffee beans are shaped like the number "0", with a "1" in the center. In the binary world, "0" and "1" can generate unlimited information. The designer uses ones and zeros to represent SeeSaw’s changing collection of fresh coffee beans from around the world, and the brand’s openness and willingness to take on changes and challenges. At dusk, coffee beans emerge from the dimly lit store, captivating the interest of people waiting for traffic at the intersection outside of the mall. The middle of the space can be easily converted into a meeting space, perfect for hosting events. There are also spaces behind the pillars where customers can take off their shoes, relax and enjoy the view of the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows. TAKESHI HOSAKA architects has successfully created a relaxing space that brings the urban scenery into a shopping mall, while showcasing SeeSaw’s efforts in helping China’s domestic coffee bean industry grow and prosper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709658970827-AW72H182NR845BGY6F1B/Roodoodoo-final-small-2.jpg F&B - Roodoodoo hcreates worked in conjunction with the legendary three Michelin-starred chef Paul Pairet and his team to create the latest concept in IFC, Roodoodoo. Located in the heart of Shanghai financial district, this building is a central focal point in Lujiazui for businesspeople, shoppers and tourists alike. The concept is a true all-day experience that transitions from breakfast to evening and bringing together dishes from Paul Pairet’s iconic restaurants Polux, Charbon, Mr & Mrs Bund whilst introducing many new instant classics including their first full bakery. “When it comes to defining the interiors for Roodoodoo’s we call it Retro Sleek – inspired by the 1950’s American diners, industrial detailing and mid-century design. A focus on creating a minimal, sophisticated, and sleek design that is an “all-day-everyday” gathering place.” Says Design Director Hannah Churchill The distinctive style of the classic American diner is lent from railway lunch carts during the golden era of rail travel; hence it carries the functional, industrial and mechanical design in its genes. One of the main materials we were keen to explore was in the project is the use of galvanized steel, to form shelving, lighting, and furniture detailing which is often set against a grey /black neutral background. Located amongst the skyscrapers of Lujiazui, we took reference from the sleek reflective materiality of the urban environment through, reflective surfaces, concrete counter tops, metallic color ceiling, and rectilinear geometric forms throughout space. Central to the design was retaining a sense of warmth and comfort. Paying homage to the origins of the French menu, we used more signature French interior design elements, such as Roodoodoo’s instantly recognizable motif ceiling and black and cream ceramic tiles. Retro cues start to reveal itself through the soft pastel colour, warm timbers, rounded corners of cabinet doors and a mix of furniture types bringing an inviting, eclectic touch. We wanted the space to borrow from old and new to create a warm and familiar space where the menu can be continually explored, and conversations can be enjoyed in comfort throughout the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709657353490-3ZCU0J5SH48WLMOUHCX0/Top+Tap-final-small-3.jpg F&B - TOP TAP TOP TAP, a restaurant and bar in Zhengzhou, China, designed by A00. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709750070866-EWD9JAOOOYL8TAR61ILP/Umi-final-small-3.jpg F&B - UMI In early 2017, Red design was appointed to design a new modern Japanese dining experience. Located at the high-end and popular Taikoo Hui mall, Umi is set to become the highlight of Shanghai in 2018. The interior brief was to create an interior and exterior design aesthetic that spoke Japanese and breathed western influence. A rich combination of classic modern western furniture pieces and Japanese detailing create a unique dining atmosphere not seen in Shanghai to date. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709750090755-GMAF4I66IW32HPBHBNNP/Japanese+Lounge-final-small-10.jpg F&B - Jiuwo Restaurant Jiu Wo is a high end, Japanese private dining and lounge venue in Shanghai, offering refined and discrete hospitality to the owners guests on a par with a luxury hotel restaurant. Jiu Wo comprises a 360sqm space which occupies the entire 5th floor of a refurbished industrial building on Anfu Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai. This space includes a generous lounge seating area, private meeting facilities and two Private Chef rooms with seating arranged around a U-shaped counter. These intimate rooms are skillfully woven into the fabric of the existing building, creating a carefully considered customer journey which reveals a balanced mix of public and private spaces. The venue also has a large 130sqm roof terrace on which a series of pavilions are constructed to extend the sense of intimacy and privacy to the exterior. The design concept behind Jiu Wo originates with the character of the ‘Itamae’: the cook or chef in a high-end Japanese kitchen. The term can be translated literally as “in front of the board”, referring to a cutting board. An Itamae is judged on how they move and work, how they handle the food and utensils and how they treat their clients. We extended the idea of the Itamae to the interior design: a refined and respectful interior space was created to mirror the respect and reverence that the Itamae gives to the preparation and presentation of Japanese cuisine. Further design inspiration was drawn from three core principles that permeate Japanese culture. Wabi-Sabi, the appreciation of the imperfect, irregular and asymmetric, influenced the selection of materials for the project. Natural stone floors, solid timber joinery with washed copper details and Abaca fiber flooring combine to a material palette which is contemporary but has the tactility, warmth and honesty of traditional Japanese design. We also drew inspiration from the principle of Miegakure – the art of hiding and revealing, creating an illusion of depth and the impression of hidden beauty beyond. This manifests itself in a series of delicate screens in linen, wood and metal lattice; these are interspersed throughout Jiu Wo, allowing the user to glimpse through and beyond spaces and introducing a sense of mystery as an integral part of the guest journey. Finally, Jian, the play between the positive & negative, influences the spatial and formal arrangement of design elements in the space. A recurring circular motif is used to create apertures and voids in walls and ceilings; these apertures introduce a formal quality to key views through the space and poetically suggest an emptiness full of possibilities. In rooting the design for Jiu Wo in Japanese cuisine and culture, the venue offers an interior experience which is both contemporary and timeless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709775801615-17XDZYMY78A3YOF9VSAT/T8-final-small-5.jpg F&B - T8 Voted one of the Worlds 50 Best Restaurants, T8 chose Red Design to oversee their relocation from a lane house to a new mall location in Central Shanghai.

The design challenge was to retain the warmth and heritage of the original T8 space while expanding the restaurants appeal to a younger, more fashion conscious customer.

Intelligent repurposing of the original fixtures and finishes, combined with an innovative lighting design and integrated terraced solution, results in a venue which offers a dining experience in a space which is both familiar and fresh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709659510481-4T6OLUSD689R2AM3AXK7/Cobra+Lily-final-small-5.jpg F&B - Cobra Lily Cobra Lily is a Pan-Asian restaurant and bar in Xintiandi, Shanghai. The design centers around a mysterious femme fatale, and is a journey through her day and the places she hangs out. 
The original early 1900's decorative Chinese archways have been kept, creating a secret alleyway. Opening into this alleyway, you discover the bar and lounge area. A two-story atrium complete with a floating DJ booth creates a dramatic entrance. Lounge and dining areas sprout from the first floor, forming intimate pockets of dining space. Modern wall sconces lead diners onto the more open areas on the second level. Upstairs diners nestled in the top of the atrium look down over the lounge and bar area. The bathrooms are positioned at the end of a long dark corridor with secret agent themes. Raw concrete mixed with sleek finishes create an upmarket urban chic in a relaxed setting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709746259818-8VUAPARFKTKDHFVAKLEA/The+Cut+Rooftop-final-small-1.jpg F&B - THE CUT Rooftop THE CUT Rooftop is located on the seventh floor of IAPM mall overlooking the city center of Shanghai. This island bar and lounge serve a series of delicious social small plates that encourages groups to gather and colleagues to banter, over snazzy craft cocktails, beer and wines aplenty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709745286504-9AVUOLSKW84GX8AD0TOT/Shake-final-small-5.jpg F&B - Shake Located in the center of Shanghai, Shake is an upscale venue dedicated to soul music and to bring excellent food and beverage experience to the city. Taking inspiration from the style and the energy of 1960s, Kokaistudios created immersive and memorable experience for guests as if stepping back in time when walked in the door. 
Upon stepping through the front door of Shake, visitors are invited to travel back in time into an environment similar to a soul music supper-club in 1960’s New York. The oval shaped marble bar is one of the central features of the space. Uneven floor heights allow guests at both the front and the back of the bar to have unblocked views of the stage. The undulating golden wave panels on the ceiling connect the bar to the stage, forming the heart of the project. The panels fill both an aesthetic and acoustic role to filter and distribute the sound emanating from the stage throughout the club. The stage was designed to host a full soul band including a piano and a horn section and to be levelled with the main floor, so as to create a sense of intimacy between the band and the audience. This focus on intimacy and the primacy of the musical experience led to a space with multiple floor levels in which every seat, from two-person high tables to the banquettes, provides clear line of sight to the stage, allowing the audience to feel involved in the show. As live music is only performed three nights a week, the designer created a sliding door system that could cover the stage, as well as a full DJ setup for spinning music during the rest of the week. In Shanghai’s competitive nightlife scene, Shake stands out with its sophisticated combination of world-class soul music and innovative dining & drinking. It is a new milestone in Kokaistudios’ practice of creating bespoke F&B environments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709743904504-48SBODYVDX73HNFB92S8/G10+Disneyland-small-3.jpg F&B - Urban Harvest Disney Town The restaurant sits in the outskirts of shanghai in the newly formed disney town, with views from within over a large lake.

 Occupying a concrete framed building the design seeks to occupy this banal framework; exposing slabs, columns and ductwork whilst shrouding the honest backdrop in certain areas with planes of plaster and ply.

 A central white ceiling plane organises the dining space dividing between inward facing with restaurant views and outward with views towards the lake outside. The inner adopts a language of dark leather and dark tables offsetting against the white ceiling plane. Whilst the outward has deep red warm leather with carefully exposed and neatly finished ductwork above.

 The white ceiling plane curves to wall at the far end of the restaurant space, with a gradient white paint that blends ply and plaster together.

 A private dining room is fully enclosed with this method, with incisions in the form to create door and window openings that ignore the rigor of radial ribs that give the room form.

 Lighting fixtures were developed especially for the project; a carefully balanced height adjustable pulley light; cast concrete counterweight, cast resin drop pendant with a brass cowl diffused COB LED within. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709746940549-Z0H6ELXWHZINLLZBZ7XQ/Mi+Thai-final-small-2.jpg F&B - Mi Thai Mi Thai is a modern Thai restaurant, dressed down in rustic minimalism, in the 195 Anfu Lu Wagas Compound.

Amenities include a fitness centre, spa, piano room, mahjong room, offices, games rooms, piano halls and party rooms to support the residents and their guests. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709977523740-HWMNMOPYLF0Y1J9PD2F5/Runxi+Residences+D-Suite-13.jpg Residential - Runxi Residence Mason Studio, the award-winning interior design studio recognized for their intentional design approach, has applied their distinctive ‘less but better’ design philosophy to a new luxury residential project in the heart of Shenzhen City, China. For the Runxi Residences, Mason Studio has designed two eye-catching residential interior spaces that are at once ornamental and minimalist, traditional and playful - providing effortlessly modern-looking home environments meant to offer residents a retreat from Shenzhen’s busy city centre. Stunning in its clarity, Mason Studio’s thoughtful design for Runxi removes all extraneous visual clutter, instead highlighting carefully chosen features, furnishings and finishes. By incorporating only the most selective and high-quality materiality, their design approach creates maximum visual impact, while exuding a sophisticated sense of calm. To bring these unique residential spaces to life, Mason Studio envisioned the needs and lifestyles of a diverse homeowner demographic, including young couples and multi-generational families. The resulting two model suites (part of four, 60-story towers developed by China Resources Land and situated along the Dasha River) are a lesson in restrained ornamentation. Minimal detailing provides a new interpretation of what a traditional luxury home can look like within this marketplace while creating a sense of calm and a retreat from the surrounding city for residents. Created to attract young professionals, families and couples who are bold in their lifestyle, successful in their careers and appreciate the unique qualities of the fine craftsmanship that is displayed in the details, Mason Studio’s design for Runxi Residences is unexpected and unforgettable. In addition to these two interior suites, Mason Studio has also been engaged to design the lobby and common amenity spaces for the Runxi Residences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710065897642-XKGMT16ABE8QU3A0S1DY/CRLand+Ruifu-final-small-1.jpg Residential - CR Land Rui Fu In the design of this project, the designers studied the flow of users and set up a dynamic and static partition layout.

MiniHut feels grander than its 36 square metres, thanks to a high stud that contains living areas in the main volume and sleeping areas on a mezzanine. Additional modules, meanwhile, have been designed to serve as entrances, utility sheds and covered decks. And, with one side of the 3×8-metre structure filled with windows, the hut can take advantage of views and have a connection to the outdoors – benefits one might associate with something much grander than a small prefabricated timber building. The idea was presented at the Green Architecture and Construction Materials Expo 2017 in Shanghai, generating much interest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709977343464-YPANLGYJQA8VWYXFXR5I/Jingan+Townhouse+A-final-small-2.jpg Residential - Jing’an Prime Land Residence For the Jing’an project, the multi-generational families that inhabit these dwellings, together with a minimal design approach, express how essentialism redefines accepted notions of luxury within the traditional urban context of Shanghai, China. Jing’an district is rooted in tradition and culture because of its namesake temple. Built over two thousand years ago, it remains the physical and symbolic center of the community. As the city continues to densify and residences are built for a growing population, this development provides families with an alternative to the commonly seen condominium typology offering traditional notions of luxury through ornamentation and additive decorative application within single-level residential units. In the heart of the historical district, the design of these townhome interiors is a pure and minimal expression of extravagance. These family-oriented environments prioritize natural light, personal outdoor space, and the use of the highest quality finishes. The refined construction detailing and minimal use of finishes express how essentialism redefines traditional notions of luxury. Each townhome is created to be a lasting home for generations; one that values quality and craftsmanship over ostentation. Throughout the development, the interior material selection for the townhomes is reduced to the use of only three main materials; wood, marble and hand-trowelled plaster. By reducing the materials to a select few, an emphasis is maintained on the quality and execution of refined detailing. All finishes are void of any applied ornamentation relying solely on the inherent beauty and integrity of the material itself. A key element throughout the design is the lighting; a highly considered component that creates a dramatic and functional backdrop regardless of the interior furnishings. Not solely serving as a decorative application, lighting becomes an integral element in the interior architecture highlighting the interior finishes and supporting the functions of the space. The ground-floor property (Townhouse A) is conceived as a space for a young family. As a rejection of the chaos of the exterior environment, the design creates a calm and ordered atmosphere to enhance the quality of family life. An underlying fluidity was created through the use of a consistently light colour palette, physically soft material textures and subtle patterning, complimented by the abundance of natural light. The living room, dining area, and kitchen are open to one another to encourage familial interaction and communal cooking. Natural stone textures and light oak wood adorn vertical and horizontal surfaces of the interior envelope. The central staircase descends to an entertainment area where an indoor garden and daylight provide natural elements to the subterranean space courtesy of a skylight. The marble-clad stairwell continues upstairs for access to three bedrooms and bathrooms. These private areas are designed to be functional spaces for individual family members to live, work and relax. Retail design techniques are used to display personal possessions communicating the value of treating all objects with respect and care. The upper property (Townhouse B), is designed for a mature family, who spend their free time attending social functions, entertaining their extended family within their home. The colour palette, pattern and textural variation reflect the vibrancy of the lifestyle of the homeowners. Throughout the main floor, the living and dining areas have a distinctive high-contrast saturated palette. Open-grain oak wood panels and natural marble slabs are used on the wall and floor surfaces. The natural graphic patterning and honed textures reinforce the quality and innate uniqueness of the materials. A central staircase ascends through the levels with custom artwork and integrated lighting to exaggerate the architectural geometry adding interest to an otherwise narrow condition. The staircase culminates at the rooftop level where residents enjoy an expansive private sky terrace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1710212245077-2REBIH7R9RKG22E0GZW5/Service+Apartment-final-small-1.jpg Residential - Sangha Service Apartment Service apartment at Sangha Retreat by Octave, a state-of-the-art, fully-immersive health and wellness retreat that combines the vast knowledge and wisdom of the East with the finest methods and technological advances of Western science. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ac420fe4b0d980731c4994/1709976832641-PSK3MDUP0SYQS2ZKYGMJ/Jinghope+Villas-final-small-15.jpg Residential - Jinghope Villas Designed by Singapore architecture firm SCDA, Jinghope Villas are located in close proximity to the world-famous Humble Administrator's Garden in the city of Suzhou.
