About Phoenix Mansion Sales Center
Phoenix Mansion is a sales center in Chengdu, China. The building covers 200 square meters and is built with aluminum panels, glass and stone. The entrance is placed at a corner, where a long overhang forms a horizontal transitional space that invites visitors inside. Landscape elements in the front yard refer to classic Chinese gardens. Courtyards planted with bamboo are set on the east and west sides. The white central space has a sloped roof that reflects sunlight. French windows connect the interior and exterior spaces.

- Design Challenge
- Located on the south side and adjacent to an urban road, the sales center will be serve as an entrance lobby to the demonstration area after it completes its selling function. However, the limited site area brought difficulties to create a small yet distinctive sales center which is merely 200 square meter. The biggest challenge was how to realize the integration of modern aesthetics and traditional Chinese elements in spatial organization.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2018 and finished in December 2018 in Chengdu.
- Operation Flow
- Inside the central courtyard, pavilion, veranda, bridge and other Chinese-style architectural elements are the core landscape. The interior and exterior spaces are connected by French windows, through which the lobby comes into view. The north and west sides of central yard lead to modern high-rise buildings and duplex houses respectively, and the east side faces Chinese-style residential cluster. The flexible transition of functional spaces paves the way for unveiling Phoenix Mansion property.
- Research
- If a city serves as a container of new and old buildings, its story starts from the history and memories of architectures. The urban surface is simplistic and elegant, illustrating a mysterious and pure mental state of residents. The stone facade is shaped with a particular form, inlaid with metal lines that embody an exquisite surface.
- Inspiration
- Spatial diversity highlights the core space featuring oriental characteristics. Courtyards, planted with bamboo, are arranged on east and west sides. The white central space has a sloped roof, available for reflecting sunlight. Abstract geometric pattern at the center conforms to the value of Greentown and also expresses an artistic conception.
