The Design

About Hongzhou Academy Sales Center

Hongzhou Academy is a sales center located in the central area of Nanchang County, China. The building holds spaces for negotiation, handwork, children's activities and display. Two blocks face the urban roads at an intersection, and their offset position forms the entrance square. The design refers to ancient Chinese architecture. Aluminium sheets are joined with buckles, creating a brick-like texture on the facade. A smooth curved surface outlines the roof and recalls traditional eaves. Large glass areas and a high atrium give the interior an open and comfortable character.

Production Technology
Metallic aluminium sheet, glass, coating Material
Design Challenge
To avoid the glue layer on facade, architects designed a gusset plate unit also use aluminium to insure the tone of the grey facade.
Research
Chosing the material for roof was a difficulty. Designers compared the effect and cost of Titanium-zinc Panel, Al-Mg-Mn alloy building sheets and aluminium sheet and finally chosed aluminium sheet as the roof material.
Inspiration
The area has a splendid cultural history in ancient times, so the form fully refers to the ancient Chinese architecture. Aluminum plates are connected by buckles, forming a unique brick texture on the facade. The smooth arc-shaped curved surface outlines the skyline of the building, which reminds people of the eaves curve of ancient Chinese buildings.
Project Duration
The project started in August 2020 in Nanchang and finished in December 2020 in Nanchang, China.
Operation Flow
The building provides people with a comfortable purchasing environment. The large area of glass enables people to enjoy the external scenery. The high atrium increases the width of the space. People can regard it as a commercial building or a place to rest.
