Standard Chartered Bank Shanghai Headquarters, an Immersive Journey from Shanghai’s Ground to Sky
Woods Bagot, a global leader in transformative architectural and designs, breathes fresh life into the historic Standard Chartered Bank's operations in Shanghai, infusing heritage with innovation. Drawing inspirations from the multifaceted character of Shanghai, the new office space salutes Standard Chartered's long-standing presence and commitment to the region, a relationship that traces its roots back to the establishment of its first China branch in Shanghai in 1858. The project recently shortlisted into the 2023 World Interiors News Awards.
李友友:280㎡归于山河的岁月之家
本案是位于佛山的280㎡的大平层项目,与湿地公园毗邻,面山靠水,绝佳的一线江景是业主对这套房子情有独钟的原因之一。设计师以一贯的现代极简语言和流动感观性,将设计语言弱化回归到建筑本身,巧妙地将空间与户外亮丽的风景线相融合,为家带来自然纯粹的简约之美。
This project is a 280㎡ large luxury flat located in Foshan, adjacent to a wetland park and nestled against mountains with waters at its doorstep. One of the key reasons why the homeowner is particularly fond of this property lies in its exceptional prime river view. Adopting the designer’s signature modern minimalist language and a sense of fluid visual flow, the design language fades into the background, returning to the essence of the architecture itself. It cleverly integrates the indoor space with the vibrant outdoor scenery, infusing the home with a natural and pure minimalist beauty.
