About Sunflower Art Education Center
Sunflower is an art education center in Shanghai. The center supports programs in creative drawing, music, dance, theater and visual arts. The design theme is taken from the sunflower, keeping pure tones of white, red, blue and yellow. A full height laminated glass panel of six meters carries the sunflower colors and gives the space a clear identity. Bright yellow forms the backdrop of the reception area. A mezzanine floor was added on a new metal structure, and a custom air conditioning duct keeps the ground floor ceiling high.
