Project Background
Located in Foshan, this project integrates showroom and office functions, targeting dual green certifications. Its Lingnan arcade-inspired design connects volumes with corridors, using skywells and elevated floors to enhance ventilation and shading.
The layout enables shared circulation. The south side houses display and office areas, the north contains workshops. The interior features an open gallery style with modular elements and a central circular ramp. Completed in March 2024.
Exterior Renderings
The design integrates Lingnan arcade principles with a modern multi-level corridor system, providing continuous shading and circulation. The facade combines perforated metal panels with mesh screens for solar control and transparency. Strategic setbacks create open ground-floor spaces that enhance ventilation and public engagement. This approach unifies contemporary aesthetics with sustainable performance and human-centered design.
Floor Plan
The plan centers on "human-vehicle unity," connecting north and south zones via a central corridor. The south zone integrates exhibition, social, and office functions into an open, fluid public area, while the north contains independent workshop and service spaces with separate circulation. A spiral vehicle ramp connects all floors vertically. The layout ensures clear zoning while using atriums and pathways to enhance natural ventilation and visual connectivity.
Project Photos (Design Landed)
The building visually integrates two functionally independent volumes through a surrounding corridor, forming a sculptural whole. The interlocking C-shaped masses of the main facade create a distinctive modern identity, seamlessly merging the sunshade corridor, circulation path, and architectural form.
The recessed ground-floor curtain wall creates a deep, arcade-inspired cantilever. This design directly responds to the Lingnan subtropical climate, providing a ventilated and shaded grey space that reduces heat gain and glare, while offering a comfortable semi-outdoor area for public interaction.
The facade innovatively combines a metal mesh with a lattice light screen, inspired by spider webs. This system effectively filters sunlight to prevent interior overheating while maintaining visual permeability and a lightweight appearance, achieving a unity of function and aesthetics.
The facade of the southeast vehicle reception area employs perforated aluminum panels as part of the building's self-shading system. This material strategy minimizes solar heat gain on the facade, achieving energy-saving goals, while its fine texture enriches the building's materiality and customer experience.
