Shanghai Design Centre Building : Museum + Showroom
New Project by Studio Twist - Chinese Architecture
Location: Shanghai, China
Date: 2008
Architect: Studio Twist
Vertically Differentiated Furniture Gallery
Studio Twists Unconventional Showcase Strategy for Shanghai
Design Centre
Annie Chung, director of Studio Twist, has completed the interior
master-planning and design for a 3,000 sqm furniture showroom and
museum in Shanghai comprising high-end European furniture brands Cassina,
Flos, Zanotta, Cecotti, Acerbis, Extremis, Danese, Brand van Egmond,
Limited Edition and Santambrogio. The design challenges the convention
of linear segregated spaces for furniture showrooms by introducing
vertical spatial variations, creating a fluid and interconnected showcase
space within an existing unused concrete factory building.

The interior was designed as a series of inter-related 3-dimensional
spaces, resulting in new possibilities for furniture display. The
vertical height of the existing factory building was fully utilized
new levels are introduced, resulting in platforms of various
heights used as specific areas for each brand. On the ground floor,
the main circulation level at 1.5m height is planned with a main axis
that penetrates the whole building, allowing an overview and choice
to the visitor when moving through different furniture display zones.
Due to the fluidity of space and the levels, a variety of visual connections
are made between the display spaces and the exterior landscapes. This
strategy creates surprises for the users as they roam through the
space, resulting in an increase of interaction between visitors and
the display.
