Honggang Village Sales Office

Site and Strategy

Located in Honggang Village, Guangzhou, this Sales Office consists of a gallery, mock-up units, an administration office, and ancillary facilities for its first construction phase. In the second phase, it would transform into a child-care center.

In order to accommodate the diverse functions within a limited volume of space, the design introduced an L-shaped void into the building complex to allow more movement and spatial communication. It results in two echoing buildings, both encased by feature facades under one single undulating roof, and connected by a bridge on the second floor.

Façade and Layout

In contrary to the hectic urban context, this project stands out with the design principle of "permeating and minimalistic". The extensive reflective pools that surround the architecture gleam with the projections of its facade, which is predominantly composed of glass and accessorized with a selected array of metals and quartz. The composition of materials varies across different panels, allowing lights to permeate in correspondence to the respective spatial qualities of the interior.
