lianggang, shanghai, china B+H Architecture senior designer| |LIANGGANG OFFICE PARKUC’ 12
The Lianggang Office Park was an ambitious project with a developer who had a strong concern for materiality and quality.
The focus of the concept was to create an environment that was modern and international but was still imbued with the material aes-thetics and forms that would be attractive to the Chinese market.
shanghai, shanghai, china B+H Architecture senior designer| |SEPHORA FLAGSHIPUC’ 12
The Sephora Flagship will occupy the busy intersection of Nanjing Road West and Moaming Lu.
It will be the largest Sephora store, to date, and compete easily against any Sephora store world wide re-garding the scope of design.
The store is the first two-story loca-tion attempted by Sephora. Because of this, greater attention was paid to the design of the store relative to circulation and consumer psychol-ogy.
nanjing, china B+H Architecture senior designer| |SUNNING B2C CAMPUSrfp
The two designs of the B2C cam-pus were based around creating a space for a new, younger, breed of employee. The cloud model, is centered around a series of autonomous buildings, each with their own unique support services and few strategic anchor buildings. In this way, a diversity of communities will develop along the campus but each will share and communicate through the campus common areas. The spine model relates all the building to one common area where all services are shared. In this way the campus creates on large ubiquitous community.
shenzen, china B+H Architecture senior designer| |TENCENT HQRFP
Tencent’s new head quareters will be on the most iconic buildings along the shenzen skyline. The design of the interior will not only complement the architecture, but actually aims to improve work life within the structure. The three office schemes and public spaces are built along a notion of connectivity. Here, any place can become improptu meeting, whether you are in the breakout room of your office, or the gym. Everything keeps you connected, productive and engaged.
R F P LISHUI RESORT, SPA & VILLA lishui, zhejiang, china | woods bagot | designer
100 key luxury resort, villa and
spa complex located on Gucheng
Island.
The design for Lishui Resort found a home
at the intersection between green design
practices, modern architecture and the
traditions of Feng Shui.
The projected created a series of
environments and experiences ca-
tered to the needs of the varied guests
who sought out the city’s unique
water culture and natural beauty.
B’07 SIOUX CITY BUS SHELTER sioux city, iowa, usa | iowa state university | lead designer
As a service project, we were asked to design a proto-
type bus shelter for the city of Sioux City, IA.
The design for the shelters is centred on a series of
layered typologies. The first layer, structure, is
based on the locally prominent building types:
“Storefront” (blue) & “Industrial” (yellow). The
second layer is the result of studying local
architecture patterns: Buxton (blue) & Elmslie (yellow).
After our initial design process we worked closely
with local steel manufacturers to laser cut and
powder coat the panels. The project was finished and
installed in August of 2007.
SUNING UNIVERSAL MU kunming, yunnan, china | woods bagot | designerIN SCHEM. D.
Suning Universal Mixed Use in Kunming, China.
This series of concepts won a schematic contract for a mixed use
development in the heart of Kunming, China. The development combines
an office/hotel, service apartments, and a retail podium space. The project
also creates a sunken plaza to connect to the local mass transit system and
green spaces for pedestrian use.
One proposal presents a twisted tower with two convex and two concave
sides. The podium of this option reflects the same sinuous curves. The
second option presents a smooth, curved facade wrapped around a faceted
louvered facade. In this version all four faces use a glass patterning that ties
back in to the textile patterning native to the region.

Chairman’s Office of Fengsheng, Inc in Nanjing, China.
The schematic and detail design of Fengsheng’s Chairman’s office led to
this interior fitout in Nanjing, China.
The project held to the purity of modernism, respecting the nature of form
and material to create dynamic plays on light and space. The office itself
was over a 1000 sq m. and featured staff and conference rooms, as well
as a full executive bathroom and massage room, and game room.
No amenity was spared, including radiant floors, a hybrid cooling system
(comprised of a cooling slab and central air), and high end security and
automation.

AREA interiors is a joint Canadian Chinese venture
dedicated to selling high-end European home furnish-
ings.
The showroom took over an old tool factory from the
seventies, in the middle of Shanghai’s bustling
shopping district.
The design uses raised stages to draw the user to the
settings and deeper into the structure.
Epoxy floors throughout, muted lighring details, and
grand stone staircase create a backdrop for the
amazing design pieces being sold and highlight some
of the original and unique architectural elements of the
original structure.
