Unique Properties
The modular and detachable sales center with fast turnover capability enjoys high geographic and site applicability. The detachable sales center is designed as an embedded box with fresh metal texture. The building stands quietly above the water as a whole, delivering a sheer futuristic sense. As the functional "mission" is completed, the box will be removed silently and reassembled and reopened quickly at the next site.
Dimensions & Packaging
Project area: 300 square meter

Production Technology
whole-body silver-white metal texture materials, ultra-white glass, and terrazzo all make the building look futuristic, as if it is floating gracefully on the water.
It is a coalition of transparency, reflection, coolness and sharpness by combining the glass with metal plates. The two materials with varying features are combined and embedded in ways that convey the order of rationality and the sense of ritualityof the space.
Design Challenge
At the early stage of the project, it faces three major problems: the location of the sales center, the building volume and the ways of opening the center quickly. In light of the traditional development model, it’s a long time of waiting and undergoing uncertainty of the results from the beginningto the final presentation of the project. And from the perspectives of construction cost efficiency and sustainability, there is a large degree of waste of resources for many temporary sales centers.
Research
The basic modules are fixed by special screws with customized waterproofing measures to ensure its safety during the service period. The modules boast ultra-high reusability as they can be put into use directly after being detached and transported to a new site when the service period here ends. In addition, the application of the new steel pile foundation system can minimize the interference on the site. The module-detachable sales center, which covers 300 square meters and weighs 150 tons, can be handled easily, bringing least impact to the environment.
Inspiration
In the late 20th century, a new type of architecture came into being. Architects restructured and assembled square boxes (modules) of different sizes into a complete building system. The detachable modular building has been well-received for its green benefits, convenience, and mobility. It has been evolved with innovation into a guiding architectural language that dominates the trend of thought in today and even in the future.
Project Duration
Location: Putian, Fujian, China
Operation Flow
As diversity and sustainability of the architecture are two important elements of urban development, modular architecture can fully embody a user-friendly residential concept that pursues ecological and sustainable development. The project adopts a modular design method to deconstruct the functional divisions of the sales center. By innovating and reorganizing six modular parts, the whole building has the coating with great metal texture, hence creating a new life experience and urban style.
