• About Firm
  United Units Architects (UUA) is a RIBA chartered practice. Our reputation is founded on our creative design of spaces and forms, attention to details, whilst remaining sensitive to both culture and context. The practice is characterized by a unique design philosophy seeing architecture as a humanistic temperament coupled with technical precision. UUA is engaged in a broad selection of projects, encompassing every aspect of urban, architectural and interior design.

Transformed from an abandoned factory, Dalian 37 Xiang is located halfway up the mountain side with a main aspect towards the harbor in the north of the city. The design is inspired by the geographical features of Dalian's iconic mountains and adjacent seas, creating a new architectural image that echoes the spirit of the city, establishing a contrast between the old and the new through delicate and light interventions. The design objective was to renew this old factory into a regional landmark of the city, accommodate multiple business types, and finally make it an open and dynamic city node.
