CasaCasa Sales Office
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.

Paras Cafe
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.

Caohejing Incubator
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.

Onehouse Office
The Onehouse have designed a new office for themselves.
The main spaces are finished in an austere palette of black and white, with grey flooring. Planters of greenery, cacti and snake plant, provide a break in colour and form, their rounded stems and pointed leaves contrasting with the simple, rectilinear approach employed throughout.
Moving into more private offices and meeting spaces natural wood flooring and furniture, coloured chairs, and tungsten lighting soften the atmosphere.

Z58
The Z58 building is primarily a glass box allowing light to enter through three sides as well as through the roof. Internally clear glass walls in many parts of the building, as well as floor panels of translucent glass, add to the variety of light within.
The main building is set back from the street and an expansive lobby is created between it and the outer facade. There horizontal mirrored planters partially hidden by the ivy growing from them lend a subtle sense of invisibility to the street front. The buildings outer wall, one wall of the lobby, is a waterfall of horizontal glass slats leant back slightly from the vertical. In the morning light it projects multiple rainbows into the interior. From the street entrance a series of walkways, flanked by pools of water over black stone, lead through the lobby. A free standing elevator allows access to all floors via a series of glass bridges. Additionally a single. straight stairwell running the length of the building also connects all floors.
The top floor includes a series of glass walled meeting rooms, two apartments with bathroom facilities and sauna, as well as a library and kitchen. The smallest of the meeting rooms extends as an island into an infinity pool running the length of the building and overlooks adjacent gardens.
