The project, located on South Lianhua Road in Shanghai, spans an impressive 41860 square meters. It serves as the headquarters for Shanghai La Chapelle Clothing Co., Ltd., a multi-brand private clothing chain retail enterprise known for its independent clothing design, outsourcing production, brand promotion, and direct sales. The company's culture, encapsulated in the words "sincere, happy, respectful, and sweet," is reflected in the design of its headquarters.
The design team faced significant challenges due to the layout of the building, elevation differences, and the owner's high requirements on plant varieties and specifications. The project took one and a half years to complete, with the team investing considerable time in research and spatial analysis. The result is a design that is as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing, with specific trees preferred by the clients and local culture incorporated into the landscape.
The design's unique properties lie in its successful integration of the 'sakura' element, a symbol of elegance and beauty. This element not only enhances the visual appeal of the project but also creates a balance between the building and the landscape, a testament to the team's innovative approach to design.
The La Chapelle project was brought to life by a dedicated team comprising Tianqing Ouyang, Xiaojian Liu, Yin Li, Yan Zhao, Qianlong He, Wangjian Xie, Haoran Weng, and Jie Kong. Their collective expertise and creativity were instrumental in overcoming the design challenges and realizing the vision for the project.
The Silver A' Design Award is a recognition of top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation. Winning this award is a testament to the La Chapelle project's strong technical characteristics, splendid artistic skill, and remarkable level of excellence. It's a design that inspires positive feelings, amazement, and wonder, setting a high standard in the field of landscape planning and garden design.
