White Box is a clothing store interior located in Rui'an, Wenzhou. The store occupies an area of about 35 square meters. The front door is small, and the traditional display window is replaced by a long horizontal window with a wide white surface below. White is applied across the simple box-like structure, and light beams are arranged to highlight the white terrazzo floor. A small loft was added to increase the usable area and to keep the plan well organized. Oak stairs, footlights and light strips connect the two levels.

Furthermore, the room will also be fully used in functional purpose.

The interaction between space and human being always enlivens and warms up the space, making it a full-of-story space, while the designer is just out there to get the story ready to tell. The designer needs to take a prior consideration on the relationship between construction and space to make the space more interesting and memorable and with more speciality.
