- Unique Properties
- According to the project designers' understanding, evolution indicates progress and variation. Taking account into the context of Shenzhen - a new city, they wanted to utilize some traditional and local materials to collide with the modern interior structural forms, thereby presenting the"evolution" of design. The designers' idea is to realize collisions within the space through a diversified material palette, contrasting interior scenes as well as division of multiple functional areas.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- MORPH is a mixed-use space with a total construction area of 1,000 sqm.
The key design intervention of the project is the creation of a mezzanine. Another bold intervention is to insert a slightly oblique and curved double-height structure into the geometric space, which can link, partition and define the space, and highlight spatial identity and increase brightness. - Tags
