About Chongqing Bowchuang Store
Chongqing Bowchuang is the interior design of an automobile sales and service store in Chongqing, China, with a total construction area of 25,000 square meters. The space brings together vehicle display, relaxation and social areas, so customers can spend waiting time in comfort. The design refers to the local landscape and culture, with columns shaped like tree trunks and misty visual effects. In the atrium, a lift and staircases connect the floors. Polymer clay, lightweight faux stone panels and ultra thin flexible stone veneer reduce the use of natural stone.

- Production Technology
- With a focus on environmental protection, this project opts for innovative materials, such as polymer clay, lightweight PU faux stone siding panel, and ultra thin flexible stone veneer, minimizing the demand for natural stone.
- Design Challenge
- In an effort to integrate urban culture and natural landscape into the 4S store while striking a balance between aesthetics and functionality, this interior design incorporates various elements for an ethereal allure, evoking the foggy atmosphere of Chongqing. In some areas, the columns are shaped like tree trunks, conjuring the imagery of an ecological forest. Moreover, efficient traffic flow planning among various zones ensures that consumers can easily access a diverse range of services.
- Research
- Many 4S stores lack creativity in their interior design and are somewhat limited in functionality. In addition to vehicle sales, customers also crave an inviting environment to occupy themselves during maintenance and repair periods, rather than enduring dull waiting sessions. Recognizing this need, this interior design breaks free from conventional spatial constraints. It integrates diverse functional zones for practicality and delivers a truly memorable and distinctive aesthetic experience.
- Inspiration
- Drawing inspiration from the natural landscape and rich culture of Chongqing, this design creates an interior space characterized by visual depth, dynamic energy, and vibrancy. By integrating distinctive features of Chongqing, such as its foggy atmosphere, urban traffic flow planning evocative of a 8D cyberpunk world, ecological forest concept, and karst landform, this 4S store stands as a pioneering urban art landmark.
- Project Duration
- The design phase for the 4S Store started in Shanghai in October 2022, followed by refurbishment starting in Chongqing in June 2023. The entire project was completed in November 2023.
- Operation Flow
- Inspired by the unique style of Hongyadong in Chongqing, the atrium has undergone a transformation: the original staircases have been replaced with a lift accompanied by staircases. This change not only optimizes space utilization but also offers customers multiple options to access different floors. Moreover, each floor has been thoughtfully planned with comprehensive functional zones for display, relaxation, and interaction, enhancing the overall customer experience with improved engagement.
