• About Firm
  GWP Architects started work on urban and architectural design in Boston in 2012. The core team established a Hong Kong and Guangzhou company in 2015. Now, it has developed into an international architectural design firm with nearly 80 people. GWP has been adhering to the obsession of exploring design from the beginning of its creation. With the philosophy of “poetic habitat” and “win-win strategy”, we convey the design ideas from the fusion of China and the West

The inspiration of this project combines both the unique meandering water-bodies of Dongguan and the unique core location of the site, proposing to extend the two major streets as flowing, water-like ribbons, in order to reform the chaotic existing parking conditions in the vicinity and establish the spatial and façade languages for the new garage building. Using the ‘infinitely flowing loops’ to organize the traffic circulation, two independent yet equally dynamic curves spiral up and intertwine, forming an architectural image as an urban sculpture.
