  • About Firm
    Founded in Boston, USA, GWP Architects has set up China regional headquarters and overseas project branches in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, China. The projects involved in research and practice have spread all over the world. GWP adheres to the concept of "Global Wisdom Partnership", brings together various talents, takes "balance between creativity and practicality" as the design purpose, and enhances the comprehensive value of projects from multi-dimensional thinking.

Chan Town Showroom is located within the Qianxin Scenic Area of Longnan County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province. The site is currently being used as a temporary parking lot, a critical functional program for the entire Scenic Area. The design concept of the GWP team is to let the showroom “float” above the parking area. Meanwhile the incoming visitors from the east and west ends circulate towards each other at different heights until converging at the center of the site. The visitor traffic flow follows the terrain of the mountain like a symbol of Taiji and fully merges into the site.
