Chu Yan

Chu Yan is a restaurant interior located at Shiliupu Wharf on the Bund in Shanghai, China. The space covers 2500 square meters and is arranged into individual guest areas, private rooms and a waiting area. A large LED wall at the entrance shows a live view of the Huangpu River. Artificial marble, insulating glass and laminated glass are used to reduce weight, block noise and save energy. Sound-absorbing panels and coatings further limit noise. An unfolded scroll image on the corridor ceiling connects the whole design.

Apple Bear Park

Apple Bear Park is an early education centre designed for preschoolers. The interior covers 398 square metres and is arranged around the varied activities of children. Chairs, door openings, stairs and teaching spaces follow the behaviour and physical sizes of young children. Burlywood, apple green and white tones are combined with natural and environmentally friendly materials. A central circular bookcase in Corian over a metal frame forms staggered shelves and ladder platforms. Round holes and curved surfaces link the areas, creating an open and calm setting for learning and play.

Renmin Road 1979

This case is mainly around the clues of Time, Emotion and City, interpreting the inheritance from the old Renmin Road and the new urban development. Through the maintenance and reshapeing of the existing buildings and spaces, inward construction is adopted for the development. The urban memory, cultural symbols and their underlying logics are retained with modern design techniques, to create an interdependent community of the old and the new, to explore the completion and cooperation between reconstruction and preservation, and to motivate people for critical thinking about things.

QYF

Qyf is the interior design of a multi-brand boutique in Wuhan, China, with a gross built area of 270 square meters. The store offers a wide range of products, so display is based on large planes instead of many shelves. This simple solution keeps the space complete. Mirrors reflect the interior and make the space look deeper. Metal, stone and glass form simple geometric shapes. Large glass surfaces turn the store into a showcase for pedestrians. A circular route guides visitors past every item on display.

The Satori Harbor

The Satori Harbor is a library located inside a corporate headquarters in Guangzhou. The library is arranged as an abstract harbor city where readers can wander among books. A gallery displays paintings collected from many countries, placed without hierarchy. A circular window at the end of a corridor frames a small view of the city. A boat form is built with steel framing and coated with stucco. Printed fabric screens show facades of old buildings near the Guangzhou harbor. Walls and floors are finished in stucco, and the curved steps use beige terrazzo.

Zens Art

Zens Art is a gallery interior of 340 square meters located in Guangzhou, China. The gallery moves away from the white box display model and uses vivid colors, light and shadow to present artworks. Spotlights mark the highlights of the space, while light above each work and shadow on the floor create a quiet atmosphere. A curved wall in desert yellow recalls the sunlight and sand of Casablanca. Circular steps form a public area inspired by the hall in the painting School of Athens. The design joins art with commercial function.
