About Cifi Ningbo Honored Palace Sales Gallery

Cifi Ningbo Honored Palace is a sales gallery in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, completed in 2021. The interior was developed in cooperation with the bookstore brand Zhong Shuge, and it combines books, coffee and records within one composite space. Areas are named after books, and a bear figure from the property brand appears throughout the rooms as a recurring visual theme. Airplanes and sea-crossing bridges served as design references. The arrangement guides visitors through art, so the character of the city is experienced from within the space rather than observed from a distance.

S.U.N DESIGN INC.'s acclaimed Sales Gallery for Cifi Ningbo Honored Palace exemplifies the convergence of architectural ambition and experiential retail design that has emerged as a defining characteristic of contemporary presentation spaces in the luxury residential sector. The installation's commanding centerpiece, a dramatically cantilevered bookshelf structure seemingly suspended in defiance of gravity, demonstrates sophisticated structural engineering married to chromatic artistry, with hundreds of volumes arranged in a carefully orchestrated gradient that transitions through the full spectrum of pastel tonalities from ethereal whites through dusky lavenders, tender roses, and oceanic blues. This transformation of the utilitarian bookshelf into sculptural spectacle suggests engagement with traditions of installation art while maintaining functional legibility as an inhabitable environment. The material vocabulary speaks to refined restraint, with champagne-gold metallic framing providing warmth against the crisp white architectural envelope, while the geometric ceiling treatment introduces dynamic spatial layering through its angular planes and luminous linear edges. The composition achieves visual equilibrium through calculated asymmetries, balancing the substantial chromatic mass of the suspended volume against expansive negative space and intimate ground-level vignettes featuring carefully curated props, including a charming white bicycle that introduces nostalgic resonance and human scale. The integration of biophilic elements through delicate foliage arrangements softens the geometric precision, inviting organic life into the rationalized space. Viewers might contemplate how this environment transforms the commercial transaction of property sales into a cultural experience, elevating the mundane through spatial poetry and chromatic wonder, and consider what aspirational narratives of dwelling and lifestyle such theatrical presentation spaces construct for their audiences.

Design Challenge
One interesting thing is that the graduation books we made above the bar. When customized all the similar color books we didn't realize that it all gets mixed by shipping. It took a whole day for us to distinguish all of them and put them on the shelves, It's more like a color gradation game than installation for us.
Project Duration
The project, located in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, was completed in 2021
Inspiration
The whole project uses airplanes and sea-crossing bridges as inspiration elements, so that the most exciting city charm is endlessly released in this world. The feelings of the visitors are guided by art in the hustle and bustle of the city, and gradually integrated into the local space, rather than being an alienated bystander.
