Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Designers are take time as the starting point of thinking. In the chaotic and decadent old factory, they skillfully use the sense of dislocation in time to create the gap between the inside and the outside, between the object and the space, to show the spatial context of living against the time, appearing along with the time, so as to provide a deeper and meaningful place experience for the viewers.
- Inspiration
- The whole building retains the mottled and contiguous texture of the wall, transforms into the uniform skin texture of the indoor space, and falls behind the outdoor environment, creating a sense of surprise for the viewer to invert the time, creating a unique space experience, secondly, abandoning too much hard decoration, releasing more relaxed space for high-quality soft display. And display, create the contrast with the base of the original space.
- Research
- Shortly after the project was put into operation, without marketing planning, it quickly became a hot topic in Hangzhou, China, and one of the most popular art punch points in the country. It is a space for photography and art, a new benchmark of the industry and a new fashion stronghold in the city.
- Challenge
- In the process, the designer and the owner experience the overthrow and replay of the design scheme, the reconstruction and disassembly of the wall, and the continuous replacement of the soft decoration display, which is not so much full of various imperfect factors, but rather a design co creation process in which both parties continuously influence each other.
- Realization and Technology
- Main Material：Special Paint, Terrazzo, Original Solid Wood, Ultra-white Glass
- Operation and Interaction

After moving to the interior space of the main building, the walls are cleaned, showing a mottled and rough texture again, giving off a simple atmosphere, thick and stable. The exquisite art installation is in a corner, embracing the whole space in an introverted way.
