The design inspiration for the Shenyang Vanke Sales Office was to create a timeless space. The base elements of the sales office are "Space, Light & Time". The entrance, a light tower, gently bestows light upon visitors, freeing their spirits and minds. A line of light subtly guides them through the space and into a time passage, where artworks are displayed. The journey ends in a grand hall, its lightness and spaciousness contrasting the previous journey, creating a pleasant surprise for the visitors.
This project is the first high-end development in Shenyang's Old City Area. It introduces a brand new artistic sense in the traditional neighborhood, forging a new sense of contemporary spatial architecture. The vision was to create a timeless space, with space, light, and time as the basic elements. Through thoughtful articulation of space and form, light and rhythm, the Shenyang Vanke Sales Office is a unique development, bringing new light to an old neighborhood.
The design process was not without challenges. The most significant challenge was managing the delicate time frame. Only two months were allowed for a 1400sqm construction area, therefore, the design and choice of materials were intentionally kept minimal. The coordination between architecture and interior design was critical in such a timeframe, as any architectural/structural elements at any unwanted location could have a tremendous effect on the visual outcome.
The Shenyang Vanke Sales Office is a testament to the power of innovative design. The project started in July 2016 in Shenyang and finished in October 2016. It was awarded Silver in A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2017, a prestigious accolade rewarded to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation.
In conclusion, the Shenyang Vanke Sales Office by Atelier Global Limited is a unique blend of art and architecture, bringing a new sense of contemporary spatial architecture to Shenyang's Old City Area. This project is a testament to the power of innovative design and the potential it has to revitalize traditional neighborhoods.
