• About Firm
  Guangzhou PTArchitects is established by a core experienced design team from Shanghai PTArchitects, dedicated to serving clients in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay by delivering elaborately conceived and meticulously executed design works. Through combining multiple resources with design creativity, the practice aims to contribute to design culture innovation and sustainable development of the design sector in the Greater Bay Area.

The project adopts simple geometric volumes. A cubic box, beveled surfaces and three basic shapes are arranged and combined. A series of box-shaped blocks are adopted for the facade to create an orthogonal geometric order. The building is rendered into a public sculpture in the city.

Bronze metal plates, as a local feature of Guanggang, is matched with white stone materials on the exteriors of the building through modern design strategies. The building is thus endowed with a unique temperament which contributes to a highly artistic atmosphere along with changing light and shadows.
