The Osmanthus Grace

The Osmanthus Grace is a sales center in Wenzhou, China, built on a site of 450 square meters. The linear building stands between Cui Wei Mountain and Ou River, with one part reaching the water. A series of connected sub-spaces of different scales leads visitors from dark areas to bright ones. Inclined ceilings lower sightlines toward the landscape, and a sunken area defines the meeting zone. Wide facades shaped like long paintings reduce the separation between indoor and outdoor. Wood, stone and plants are the main materials. The plan also allows future changes of use.

Da Ya Li

The woven pattern rises from the staircase entrance and extends to the seating areas. Red recalls Chinese royal architecture and the peppery taste of Sichuan cuisine. Smoky black antique brick walls and floor tiles balance the warm red. A metal grille divides the space for commercial needs.
