GE’s Beijing office building surrounds a large open courtyard, and houses offices and staff facilities as well as display areas for the company’s products and services.
Dayun designed this sales office for a new housing development.
Its two storeys contain the sales office, administrative offices, lounge and cafe areas. On the upper level an open terrace gives access to gallery space and a roof garden.
While overall form is rectilinear, the main elevation is intersected by an arched concrete shell structure with perforated alloy louvre, while on the reverse side an irregular array of variously proportioned windows break up the largest section of wall and provide light to corridors and stairwells on the interior.
Located in the Hongqiao Vanke Center in Shanghai, the Paras Cafe caters to the staff of nearby businesses and local residents.
Finished in blue and white the design primarily uses ceramic tiles, metal mesh and plain concrete with a single use of marble for the service counter.
Judiciously hung circular wall mirrors along with the perspective-bending illusions of the grid patterned white tile walls subtly help to create the sense of a large and varied space, which alloy mesh boxes above the service counter and central table area further help to define and divide.

SHL have remodelled an existing office building for use as an incubator for hi-tech start-up companies.
A new facade of white, undulating, perforated, powder-coated aluminium envelopes the building. This covers some but not all of the building’s windows offering varying degrees of visibility and shade.
A new central atrium has been created allowing more daylight into the core of the building whilst serving as a central connecting space. Here a mural by shanghai-based artist,the Orange Blowfish, spans three floors up through the atrium along one flanking wall.
Casual seating, a suspended meeting room, and a number of planted outdoor terraces provide alternatives to more traditionally arranged office spaces.
