The second facade covers the upper part of the factory, giving the heavy concrete structure a certain lightness. While uncovered structural elements and exposed infrastructure in the lofty spaces remind its occupants of the industrial environment, the mid-century modern furniture and playful graphic artworks create an almost lofty atmosphere. The perforated facade is refracting the light at different angles according to the position of the sun, blocking out the heat while adding dynamics to the space and offering the occupants privacy from the outside.

Pingjiang Wonder

As the first building amid the city complex turned from old town to the city gateway, the bookstore was expected to merge into the different development stages naturally. Explorations based on Negation Logic oriented the design to a delicately-cut crystal. Being divided horizontally into 2 parts, the upper part of the building was faceted and battered the sliced facades by a vertical angle of 4-6 degrees towards the sky, as a new town pioneer, while the transparent lower part was fit into the human scale for better integration into the culturally unique streets.

Headquarters Complex

The project is located in the Creative Media Technology Park (CMTP) in Changsha. The site is adjacent to the Liuyang River and the central axis of the park. The building height limit of the site is 120m, which is lower than the surrounding parcels in the CMTP. Therefore, the design seeks to create a unique city landmark by linking three towers. The three towers are arranged in an encircling manner along the river and connected in the air, ensuring the maximum view toward the river.
