Platform-L Contemporary Art Center

This site, with irregular geometry and surrounded by streets on three sides, was a unique design challenge. Architecture laws limit the building ratio to no more than 60% of the total site area — and this was a key focus to the design of Platform-L. The proposal of two independent masses with a central courtyard opening to the west proved the most efficient solution. The façade design inspiration came from Louis Quatorze fashion design company, where basic geometries of Louis XIV were reinterpreted. The resulting design stands as a new symbol for the company and its high regard for fashion and culture.
